One should think though, that a business should be able to pay its own bills and not rely on state or federal government to pay for internet service. You do realize that through special programs and cooperation with providers like GCI, millions -- yes millions -- were spent to bring communication infrastructure to rural Alaska communities. So the connection is there but everyone else in Alaska should not be on the hook to pay the monthly service fees for internet.  You choose to live in that community. If it's too expensive, you have the freedom to move. Where there's a will there's a way. If I live to Florida and complain I'm too far to visit family in Seattle, that's my own problem, not a state government problem.  Life is all about choices and from your last rant about how often you get out of Unalaska, that is no one one's fault or responsibility but your own. You made that your home, deal with it or move. Be an adult and if it's hurting you financially, do something about it.
