People in rural areas who want to get a high-speed Internet connection frequently find that their options remain limited. However, residents of Central Oregon aren t faring so poorly when it comes to getting connected. That s because four different wireless companies have cropped up in the area in recent years to meet the needs of these rural customers. The Bend Bulletin (http://www.bendbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080106/BIZ0102/801060332/1001&nav_category=) has a brief review of the history of these four companies (Webformix, Community Broadband, Yellowknife Wireless, and I Love My WiFi) along with information about how each has served a niche purpose in the area. As the demand for rural broadband grows, companies (including Qwest and Clearwire) are moving in to the area and increasing the competition.
