Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

M2Z http://www.m2znetworks.com/ is a small wireless start-up with a big goal: free broadband for the masses.

Milo Medin, M2Z’s chairman and co-founder and a broadband pioneer, wants the ad-supported service to ultimately be available to 95% of the USA. To make that happen, the company must snag a chunk of wireless airwaves being auctioned next year by the Federal Communications Commission. If all goes according to plan, free broadband could be available as early as fall 2009.
