It is no secret to our readers how we feel about our little, expansive part of the world. We live in a part of the US that is big on space, and small in population. As a result, it is hard to find big companies that wish to serve our area, and the ones that do, often do it very poorly.

The cellular service here in Wibaux is a good example. We sit in a bit of a hole out here on the plains. The cell tower that serves this area shoots over about 90% of the town. To get a call, or to place a call, one has to drive up on the hill at the edge of town. The cellular company that serves our area has not been at all responsive in improving the service here. 99% of the potential cellular traffic here is on I-94, speeding by, and is only affected by the dead spot for a few seconds. This is typical of the attitude of major companies when asked, or required, to provide services to this part of the country.

While visiting www.DSLService.us we found an article about a small Wyoming company named Visionary Communications. It is about a small company, thinking big, in our little, expansive part of the world. They are worth a look.
