5G ....You can make a mine autonomous....Starlink....I don't know if it's possible...??? Hardwired...No drop out...Starlink...Again...Don't know ?.....But over air signals can be disrupted by environmental changes just like Bell Satellite ..So, I say Starlink only for the FNs who cannot be hooked up to broadband,  and 5G hardwire with a local tower array for autonomous mining in the Ring of Fire, and whatever FN along it's path. In this case the broadband path leads you to believe that it is strictly for Matawa FN. But I think the underlying truth is that this is actually being done for the Ring of Fire. The First Nations just happen to be benefiting from this decision, which I agree MB is overkill.

I believe in giving the FNs internet, but I can hardly justify going to such great lengths to do so..There has to be a better reason...I'll stop there because I don't exactly see the FNs of Matawa, or Mushkegowuk, as trailblazing pioneers of commerce...Their websites hardly depict a busy work schedule for their chiefs, or their people. Only festive events, pictures of fishing and hunting, the odd meetings, and other such social media nonsense. So I can only see internet health, communication and education being the real winning reasons for FN internet. Not business and commerce. On that scale I say Starlink would be sufficient.

Again, this sort of overkill were seeing here is not strictly for FN. It has been gifted  to them through its need to support the mining and high level business to be done in the Ring of Fire. IMO once this broadband hits the E-W corridor the smokescreen will be lifted and we will see the truth behind why it was chosen, accepted, and then funded to the max.  No....This was ultimately done to support more than just simple living and leisure. But I'll even go one step further... Not only is the 5G routing and installation needed for the Ring of Fire and autonomous mining, but it's predetermined path also suspiciously allows the start of an E-W corridor to Webequie with the very same equipment clearing the brush to make way for the broadband. I just wonder if this too is to be used for a road and power lines from Pickle Lake.

Two birds...One stone approach....If you ask me.

Here....Take a look at this PDF below and tell if you see what I do...Look at pages 174 to 201. Schematics from 2018 for a potential power line feed to the remotes and the Ring of Fire from Pickle Lake..OK...Now tell me....Could this in fact be not just be about alignment for broadband..But a whole lot more...Potentially?
