Beaver Island Forum, “There may be a wireless broadband solution for Beaver Island,” March 1–June 27, 2006.
A community proposal sought expressions of demand and locations for a possible local wireless network; later replies discuss backhaul, likely early service areas, and separate WildBlue satellite installations. This records exploratory demand-building and competing access options, not a TDS decision or completed local wireless network.
