Modern-Day Alaskan Broadband Benefits from Satellite Earth Station Competition


Today's technologically advanced Alaska is a far cry from Jack London's frontier in The Call of the Wild. Yet while dog-sledding remains a common form of transportation, the image of the disconnected wilderness man is today more myth than reality. In Alaska, facilities-based competition between telecommunications providers may be having a positive impact in boosting the quantity and quality of high-speed Internet access in the most remote and sparsely populated state in the United States.
