SUMMARY - The Cost of Connection

The Cost of Connection

A family spends $150 per month on home internet and mobile data—more than their electricity bill, approaching their grocery budget. A single parent weighs whether to pay for internet or school supplies. A senior on fixed income cancels internet service to afford medications. In Canada, the cost of connection is a barrier that policy and market have not solved.
