The information technology director of Navajo Nation, Harold Skow tried getting a standard phone service but was quoted a price of $ 100,000 for a non broadband service.
New Mexico State Senator stepped in and he advocated a 75 mile microwave connection capable of providing and supporting Wi-Fi access points, VoIP and video conferencing. Cisco Systems came in the picture and supplied routers as well as Cisco 7940 and 7940G VoIP phones for use at White Rock.
Now the children of Navajo would never perform poorly in state tests which were always blamed on the lack of technology. Certainly there seems to be a noble cause behind this action and this should set an example for other VoIP companies to come forward and contribute towards the society.
I would like to thank Russell and Andy for reporting it.
Further I would request the blogger community to come forward and spread a word about this noble deed.
