Communication and Travel
Northern Albertans get around on the information highway, and also travel smoothly on the more traditional roadways.  We also have well-developed air travel and train/freight/bus networks.

Information highway
Northern Alberta is connected to the globe through a mixture of internet, wireless communications, and satellite services. Alberta's fiber optic Supernet has expanded high-speed telecommunications options across the region.
