More coverage required of cable services/packages and TV channel selection

[edit]

This article is about 50% concerned with the Broadband for Rural Nova Scotia initiative, which is the most interesting thing the company has done lately, admittedly, but is only a tiny part of its business.

Its existing cable offerings require better coverage especially the extremely high speed offerings in Halifax, Nova Scotia and other NS cities.

Lee Bragg redirect?

[edit]

CEO Lee Bragg might be notable enough to deserve his own article, but if not then his name should be a redirect to this page where he is at least quoted.

=== Update Request ===

I work at Eastlink as Website Content Manager and I'm writing to identify a correction needed in this entry. Lee Bragg is no longer the CEO of Eastlink. Deborah Shaffner became CEO in 2018. I offer these reference links which confirm her position of CEO:

I'm happy to discuss this update request more if needed to have the CEO information refreshed.

Thank you!

Cell offering

[edit]

As soon as it's available the Eastlink cell offering should be covered in detail and the WIND Mobile speculation resolved.

"Careers"

[edit]

A very large number of "careers" are continuously posted on Eastlink's website. It's an open question how sincere these are, or are they just an attempt to fish resumes, including from competitors.

EastLink employs over 1,500 people, all of those postings are legitimate. Your statement has zero fact and is verging on vandalism.

Awards/agencies

[edit]

As of November 11, 2011, there are a number of open links to Atlantic Canada business associations and awards. These should be filled in as part of a general effort to cover Atlantic Canada's business community. IT is under-covered in Wikipedia compared to Quebec's, Ontario's, BC's or Alberta's.

Canopy towers reuse

[edit]

Unless the Canopy towers were constructed for way more than their tax-subsidized purpose, they likely can not be used for cellular antennas. There are restrictions for weight and wind-forces, but also minimum heights for the new transmitters (and they must not be too close to the Canopy equipment). Unless you remove the technologically outdated Canopy-equipment, that is. Ds77 (talk) 10:01, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
