Company announces wireless network
By BRIAN PASSEY

ST. GEORGE - The largest mobile high-speed wireless Internet
network in the United States may soon be found in St.
George, with a basic 56K connection free to all with
wireless capabilities.
The announcement was made Thursday at the Main Street
Theater and Ballroom by CoConnect, Inc., a wireless Internet
service provider based in Salt Lake City. The service will
be available in the "bowl" section of St. George between the
black hills by June 1, said Jerry Warnick, CoConnect
executive vice president.
More than 100 antennas containing CoConnect's proprietary
technology have already been installed and at least 100 more
antennas are to come, making the service available through
the four-city metro area, Warnick said.
"We recognized a great opportunity in St. George," he said.
"We are excited to be here and are so happy that St. George
became the obvious choice." Warnick said the company
chose St. George rather than Salt Lake City because the area
was small enough to serve the entire community. ......MORE

Quotes/Biz Tips
"Goals. There's no
telling what you can do when you get inspired by them.
There's no telling what you can do when you believe in them.
And there's no telling what will happen when you act upon
them." Jim Rohn
"It is the dull man who
is always sure, and the sure man who is always dull."
H. L. Mencken
"The only sure thing
about luck is that it will change."
Bret Harte
"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think
you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
Mark Twain
"It takes time to build
a corporate work of art. It takes time to build a life. And
it takes time to develop and grow. So give yourself, your
enterprise, and your family the time they deserve and the
time they require."
Jim Rohn
USA Today has come out with a new survey: Apparently three
out of four people make up 75 percent of the population.
David Letterman
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
Plato, Greek philosopher
"Success tends to go not to the person who is error-free,
because he also tends to be risk-averse. Rather it goes to
the person who recognizes that life is pretty much a
percentage business. It isn't making mistakes that's
critical; it's correcting them and getting on with the
principal task."
Donald Rumsfeld, Sec of
Defense
