A quick tech update . . .
Only days after posting the last entry about the lack of Internet service some rural parts of the state, Great Awk Wireless announced a major initiative to bring increased and improved wireless Internet service to the tri-mountain area. This initiative was spurred in part by Oliver Olsen (Vermont State representative representing parts of Londonderry, Weston, Winhall and Jamaica) and a group of existing subscribers, after GAW initially announced that it would be eliminating or decreasing service to the area because of a lack of customers. The problem, as I see it, was that no one knew about GAW. If you build it, they will come. If you don’t know about a service, how can you purchase/subscribe.
So, on December 1, 2010, we were hooked up to GAW’s wireless Internet. It’s pretty fast. Fast enough to stream Netflix! We’re still in the midst of our trial/money-back period, but I think we’re going to stick with it! We are now, officially, part of the 21st century.
This news will surely catch the attention of the people.Having an internet in this area would surely increase its population because nowadays we all know that internet is considered as a necessity.
