Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Intel, AT&T and other corporate giants are throwing their weight behind a new wireless Internet service powerful enough to send a signal more than 5 miles.

No. 1 chipmaker Intel today is to announce its first chip for the service, called WiMax. Intel’s more than 20 partners also include telecom heavyweights Qwest and British Telecom and tech giants Siemens and Texas Instruments.

That corporate support is a big endorsement for the still-emerging technology, which probably won’t become common until 2007, tech analysts say.
