Eeyou Mobility connects cellphone dead zones in Quebec

In northern Quebec, an Indigenous-owned telecom company is bringing cell service to an area the length of Germany, as part of a broader push to connect Canada’s many dead zones on rural roads and highways.

Eeyou Mobility, a Cree-led telecom formed to serve an area mainly populated by Indigenous communities, is building a network of fibre-linked cell towers with the goal of covering a region that previously had none, according to its founders.
