Over the days 10 years, Great Auk Wireless has been slowly expanding its network and services to raise high speed Internet service to residents of sylvan towns in New England, and is now competing with larger companies to give a competitively priced alternative in urban areas across the jurisdiction.
Great Auk Wireless, or GAW, was founded in 2002 to provide service for residents in rustic areas of Vermont who lacked access to high-zoom Internet commonly available in densely populated areas.
Today, GAW has expanded to fix up with provision digital Internet, television and phone service on its wireless network to more than 30,000 customers, serving a growing roll of rural areas - including the Valley - and moving into urban centers as a competitively priced variant to the region's other high-speed cable and DSL providers.
Despite the artificial competition, which consists mainly of large national providers like Verizon and Comcast, GAW - an Enfield, Conn.-based military unit - has managed to stake out a piece of the market by providing a accumulation of services that cater to local network needs.
