To keep you connected to the world, we have communications systems that rival major metro-politan centers. For example, point-to-point high-speed wireless Internet access – which eliminates local loop charges for T-1 lines – is available, as is unlimited high-speed Internet access via a cable television network. And the two largest cellular phone service providers in the United States supply our wireless telecommunication services.
