[Vision2020] V2020 Problems

[Sam Scripter]

*Thanks for writing what you did this morning to Vision2020, Bill Moore.

And thank you for your company's support to our community and to our 
region. 

It really has been nice to watch the evolution of your company and the 
expansion of its services into the small communities of the rural inland 
northwest.  This has been extra special because FirstStep Internet is a 
home grown
enterprise and not a "national chain!" 

It has taken vision and some degree of daring to make the investment 
that FSI has into a region with a small and
dispersed population.  You have demonstrated that wireless connectivity 
is a feasible solution and that we do not have to live in metropolitan 
America to be at the cutting edge of net connectivity and services.

Thank you, again.
