SASKTEL WIRELESS INTERNET NOW AVAILABLE IN ANNAHEIM, BRUNO, HUMBOLDT, WIMMER AND SURROUNDING AREAS

Released on April 3, 2006

Annaheim, Bruno, Humboldt, Wimmer and their surrounding areas will now be able to enjoy the benefits of SaskTel's Wireless Internet service.

"Thanks to CommunityNet II, Saskatchewan will continue to lead the way in Canada in deploying high speed Internet service to rural communities," Minister responsible for SaskTel Deb Higgins said. "Residents and business owners in communities across Saskatchewan are receiving high speed access sooner than many larger urban centres in Canada as a result of this initiative."

SaskTel Wireless Internet is up to 70 times faster than dial-up and includes unlimited time on-line. Coverage for this service is within approximately a 30 km radius from the wireless Internet-provisioned towers located by Annaheim, Bruno, Humboldt and Wimmer, and is dependent upon terrain and topography. The service is available for $59.95 per month with a one-time $249 equipment purchase plus installation charges. See your local authorized SaskTel Wireless Internet dealer for coverage information and full service details.

CommunityNet II will provide high speed Internet access to a minimum of 71 communities in the province, and their surrounding areas. All existing CommunityNet locations with a population over 100 and a school previously served by SCN's satellite technology will benefit from this program. In addition, the majority of communities with populations greater than 200 will also benefit from CommunityNet II. Upon completion of this program more than 86 per cent of the Saskatchewan population will have access to this valuable educational, communications and entertainment service.

Since 2000, the implementation of CommunityNet has been an unqualified success. The province-wide initiative has provided high speed Internet access to public institutions in 366 communities, linking 834 educational facilities, 310 health facilities, 86 First Nations schools, 256 government offices and 162 libraries. Upon completion of CommunityNet II, more than 86 per cent of the Saskatchewan population will have access to high speed Internet.
