Rural schools close book on dial-up Internet - FRANK ARMSTRONG, WHIG-STANDARD
The last three schools in the Limestone Board still using painfully slow dial-up Internet services will soon go high-speed, thanks to a $1.7-million collaboration between the Ontario government, Utilities Kingston and two local economic development agencies. Clarendon Central Public School in Plevna, North Addington Education Centre in Cloyne, and Land 'o' Lakes Public School in Mountain Grove will all have access to wireless Internet networks after five new towers are built, said Campbell Patterson, the project's manager at Utilities Kingston. "We expect to have them up and operating before the end of August," Patterson said.... In addition to the five new towers, Utilities Kingston has already built 11 towers to service local schools and other public service organizations. Internet service providers are also using those towers to provide wireless Internet access to some of the area's more remote communities, Patterson said.
