Discusses the history of Indigenous engagement with media and telecommunication policy and looks at how a consortium composed of academic researchers and First Nations technology organizations used hearings held by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to bring three issues to the forefront: open access to transport networks; subsidy support for First Nations community networks; and the need for consultation with Indigenous communities about infrastructure development and service upgrades taking place in their territories.
