Product details

The Lanark Communications Network (LCN) is Canada''s only rural Integrated Community Network (ICN). A not-for-profit corporation whose mission was to create and promote a telecommunications infrastructure that would lead to economic improvement, the LCN is funded through its members and government grants. Though the LCN has been successful in the past at raising funds, there is some uncertainty over a recent large application. The case serves to present ICNs as a networking approach, and deals with the problem of choosing from amongst a set of applications by a set of public and private sector partners with different goals.
