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.
Paper uses interview data to illustrate the constraints faced by Aboriginal organizations when attempting to deliver services and address priorities in their communities.
