You'll get to meet Northwestel if you come by. They outright *own* the phonelines, cable, all the internet (they have a deal with Netkaster for their shitty satellite connections too), control the cell service to the point that most southern-based phones just don't connect to anything up here.
Oh, and when you check their website for serices, you have to pinpoint where you live to the town, so you won;t get pissy about the somewhat better stuff in other spots they cover. Fort Smith, NWT: they just rolled out digital cable, so better channels and internet. If you live right in town. Anybody past the sign is shit out of luck, there isn;t even the option of paying for the "last mile" yourself. The cable and poles belong to them completely.
