MTC is pleased to announce Public Wi-Fi access in both the Town of Andes and the Town of Phoenicia!

MTC technicians have installed trial runs of Public Wi-Fi, and it has created a lot of buzz within the community! It’s no secret that in a lot of the towns and surrounding areas – cell coverage is sparce to say the least.  In today's digital age, staying connected to the internet has become an essential part of our lives.

 

However, there are still areas where cell coverage is limited or nonexistent. In such situations, the availability of public Wi-Fi can be a game-changer. By providing public Wi-Fi access, users can remain connected to the outside world, no matter what the cell coverage may be in that area.

 

Public Wi-Fi in areas with no cell coverage brings numerous benefits to individuals, communities, and businesses. It bridges the connectivity gap, boosts the local economy, enhances emergency communication, and fosters social interaction. Next time you’re in the Town of Andes or the Town of Phoenicia, look on the poles for the QR code, and stay connected - even in the great outdoors!

Attention : Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) Subscribers

 MTC has been informed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that the ACP funding is slated to expire across the country as of April 2024. At this time, the program is in what they call a Wind Down phase as Congress has not allocated additional funding into the budget to keep the program running. There are members across many entities fighting for this program to continue, but the final outcome is yet to be determined. Should this federal program officially expire, the broadband subsidy/discount you receive through the ACP will cease and be removed from your monthly MTC bill. Should you have any questions, more details can be found at
