Rural Wi-Fi Access
Published by finn October 16th, 2005 in techno-geek, hardwareABC News has posted an AP article on a Wi-Fi cloud in rural Oregon. A Wi-Fi cloud would be awesome in the rural area of Smithfield, UT where my in-laws have a house. I love the area up there but the lack of high-speed internet access where they live is big issue for me. I’ve had high-speed access for so long that I don’t think I could easily give it up. I’ve used dial-up while travelling for work and let me tell you, it sucks. I wonder if I could get together a start-up and sell high-speed wireless access to the county up there…
Update: I found a WISP (Wireless ISP) in Logan, UT called TeamWiFi that claims to cover about 95% of Logan Valley. I may have to check into them if I move up there.
Teamwifi does cover a good portion of cache (logan) valley. You can call them at the number on there web page for a site survey to see whether or not your home will be able to reach one of the broadcasts. There web page is teamwifi.net.
