INTRODUCTION:
Are you in a "Rural" area, where broadband Internet access is not offered by anyone? When you are connected to
the Internet, are you always waiting for data to download to your computer? Chances are it's not your computer that
is the problem, it's your phone line. Phone lines were never designed to transmit data at high rates of speed (GTE,
QWEST, CENTURY TEL for instance only guarantees their lines will transmit at 9600 bps). Even on a good V.90
connection you are still limited to only a fraction of what your computer is capable.
Now, we might be able to help stop most all of this "waiting for data to download" with a broadband Internet
connection that is up to 50 times faster than a standard "dial-up" modem connection. With Rural Internet Services
access, a small external "subscriber unit" attached outside your house/building, removes your need for a telephone
line. So, one end of this subscriber unit wirelessly receives our Internet connection, and the other end is a live
Ethernet cable with fast Internet access that you can plug right into your computer, hub, or router!
Only one subscriber unit is necessary at each location, so an entire office can share one system and everyone on the
network can enjoy the fast Internet access.
PRICES:
The cost of a Rural Internet Services connection is a fraction of what similar bandwidth would cost through
other means. Even when compared to dialup access, the price is comparable when taking the cost of the necessary phone
lines into consideration.

Accounts may not be shared between different homes or businesses. However, equipment and setup costs may be
shared between businesses in the same location. In many cases, such as businesses sharing a building or apartment
complexes, it may be possible to split the setup charges several ways to decrease the initial cost.
