Yeah, we could give a fuck less about IT services I guess, everybody and their brother has a "solution", often for "problems" people didn't even know they have. We're more focused on building middle and last mile infrastructure. That's what's really lacking out here.
You're on the outskirts of a well established major metro, probably just trying to find some service or offering to make a buck. Don't think I'm being derogatory or knocking you, I'm not, just thinking it's more of a crazy rat race where you are. I'm in the process of working with our economic development commission to connect anchor institutions together for a co-op / Native fiber project... Basically to cut transport costs by 50%, and to provide better transport infrastructure to homes and businesses in an area the size of the state of Indiana. I guess that's where my focus on infrastructure comes from. On January 7, 2015 9:53:23 AM AKST, Mike Hammett <[email protected]> wrote: >Different clients I guess?
