I know a few customers who use Supernet out at rural offices or campuses, it's definitely a big advantage to have that kind of high-bandwidth connectivity out there and available province-wide. It is the kind of infrastructure project that really is a good use of tax dollars, as it can be a huge competitive advantage for Alberta business and also for the educational system.

I know Olds College, for example, has recently hooked up hi-def video conferencing from their main campus out to their satellite campuses and to other schools using the Supernet, which can run multiple 1.4 mb streams simultaneously without issues. I also know a company that is seriously considering having a backup server farm in Acme, of all places, just because Supernet is available and there is oodles of reliable bandwidth just waiting for people to use it.
