We are the ISP

When the internet service provider in a rural town decided to leave the community, students at the local high school stepped in and took over its operations. The project was incorporated into the school's computer programming and accounting curricula. Students provided service to 450 members of the community, including a senior center where they assisted the seniors with their computer needs.

Students also assessed the resources needed to provide wireless broadband service, including the financial, hardware, and labor needs. Through their hard work and planning, the students were able to offer wireless services to local businesses.
