Re: Keep Dreaming

Funny you should mention it

I don't live up there but I do get up there a bunch. Somone asked me to look into what could be done in a low population community. I asked a number of people who might be clued in and came to the conclussion that there was almost nothing that could be done. The CO was far from everyone and not all that well provisioned.
Bottom line was that even the most extreme distanced community wireless was going to cost them more then they could stand to pay. I had to assume that not everyone up there was going to contribute funds and some just flat out couldn't afford it. That bothers me a bit that it was nearly insurmountable to get them even a minimal broadband connection so they remain dialup users...
