Wyoming Business Council tackles rural broadband internet access

Doing business in rural Wyoming has its advantages — the wide-open spaces, slower pace of life and easy access to outdoor adventures are attractive fringe benefits that are hard to come by. Still, it isn’t always easy, as Mark Marlatt, the IT Director for Bloedorn Lumber Company, knows. With few options for providers and limited bandwidth at the company’s corporate hub in Torrington, Marlatt has suggested to the company’s leadership that perhaps it makes better business sense to relocate the hub somewhere with more reliable and less expensive broadband connectivity.
