Telecommunications is a very big topic that includes such things as telephone service, satellite service, Internet and Broadband service, VHS, and radio. Arctic Council has formed a Task Force to assess the current state of Telecommunications in the Arctic, UArctic is represented in TFTIA by Karl Kowalski, the lead of Thematic Network on Arctic Telecommunications and Networking.

We are asking UArctic members and others to provide feedback on the importance of telecommunications to you, your organizations and community. This study is intended to gather general feedback from as broad a representation as possible to determine which topics may be of further importance to people living and working in the North.

This information will also be important to activity planning for the Thematic Network on Arctic Telecommunications and Networking.
