After years of delays, WildBlue Communications said it will launch its satellite-delivered high-speed Internet access service in June.
Targeting 20 million households in rural towns that don't have access to broadband cable-modem or digital subscriber line services from cable MSOs or telephone companies, WildBlue said the service will initially be available through members of the National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative.
Bijou Telephone Cooperative, which provides telephone and dial-up Internet services to about 2,500 customers along the 1-70 corridor that runs from Denver to Limon Colo., will be the first NRTC member to install the service.
