EORN Pushing for Funding to Shore up Mobile Networks in Eastern Ontario

If you are tired of spotty mobile service, help may be on the way.

The Eastern Ontario Regional Network has asked both the provincial and federal governments for just under 3-hundred million dollars to improve mobile data service in Renfrew County.

EORN Co-Lead Jim Pine says public safety is the primary focus of this public-private sector project.

Pine says the EORN hopes to get approval from both levels of government by the end of the year.

If that happens it will be another 4 or 5 years to build the network.
