Agriculture Roundup for Tuesday November 15, 2022

The Saskatchewan Government said SaskTel will be expanding a rural fibre initiative to bring better internet to an additional 70 more towns and villages.

The province said the Crown corporation is to spend an additional $100 million to expand the service to narrow the rural-urban digital divide in Saskatchewan.

Originally announced in 2020, the program will bring the fibre optic broadband network to more than 110,000 residents and businesses in more than 130 rural communities.

All communities are expected to have the service by the end of March 2025.
