	Nunatsiaq News
		Northwestel has unveiled a plan that would see long distance rates in northern Canada drop to 13 cents a minute or less — but to do it, they will need some kind of subsidy.
		This week Northwestel submitted its proposal on how it will compete in an open long distance market a year from now, and how it will bring basic service up to new national standards set by the CRTC last October.
		Northwestel hopes that a subsidy can make up the difference between the money it already loses on the smaller communities, the money it needs to invest to improve its service, and the money that it will lose to other companies competing for long distance customers.
