Okay, the story itself isn't all that interesting, but there was this one quote...

Quote:

“We started in early 1970 trying to get a phone,” Bolton said. “We’d talk to the phone company but they’d never call back. Some in the community bought CBs (citizen band radios). We tried those for a while.”

Hmm, now why didn't they call back. Could it be because you didn't have a phone?!

Hehe.

The other part involving a cell phone and a 911 call from a hilltop also seemed weird. If a community has no phones and no cell towers, why have a cell phone, and why would they even know to call 911?

Wouldn't it be cheaper to put up a cell repeater?

Geesh, I thought having to wait eight years for Broadband was bad.
