Did you know that Elie, Manitoba was the first town in Canada, and possibly one of the first in the world, to get an experimental FTTH voice/data/video network in 1981? (As this was the early days of computing, the data was actually to a Videotex / Minitel-style TV menu terminal). Ref: http://predoc.org/docs/index-230523.html?page=7
I have always been interested in Manitoba telecom/IT history and thought for the next hackathon we could have some talks in that regard, if anyone else is interested. I'm inquiring with Michael Gillespie (was MB Freenet sysadmin?) and Les (was big in BBSes I think) about possibilities. If anyone else has suggestions please let me know.
