Jesse Brown is looking for a smart fix that would have a big impact
Any way you slice it, the Internet sucks in Canada.
I know, I know—it’s the same Internet everywhere, the Internet knows no boundaries, etc. But work with me here! And consider the evidence:
Even the U.S. government thinks Canada’s Internet sucks—they’ve again put us on their Special 301 watchlist, placing us with China and Pakistan as the world’s worst online pirates. Recent evidence shows that piracy is actually at an all time low in Canada, but why quibble? Opinions and positions differ wildly on these issues, but the one thing everyone can agree on is that our Internet stinks.
So let’s fix it.
On Tuesday May 25th, I’ll be hosting a workshop at the Mesh Technology Conference in Toronto. It’ll be an open forum exploring a range of solutions to the problem of Canada’s sucky Internet.
I could use your help.
In the comments, tell me what practical steps we could take to fix our Internet. What I’m looking for is a sentence or two on one smart fix that would have a big impact. Your answers will be shared on stage and discussed by some of the world’s smartest technologists.
So have at it!
