Rants, yeah, usually just rants about stupid people. Occasional posts about myself or my friends and/or life.

Whoa

So, my senior year I worked with a company called Allband Communication Cooperative to put together a website for them (which has since been butchered). Either way though, it was an interesting project. Allband is basically a non-profit telephone, cable, and high speed internet co-op that is located east of Gaylord. Where it is being built there currently is no phone service and cell phone reception is far from adequate. Needless to say, there are plenty of government funds which help areas like this get descent service. That is where Allband comes in. They are building the first Fiber-to-the-Home network which will provide telephone, cable, and gigabyte ethernet service. Plus, they will provide all of these services for under $100/month! Ridiculous? Yes... but check out the help the USDA gave them!!!!!
