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.

What’s been marked as a first-in-the-nation launch, New Hanover County, N.C., will begin a phased deployment later this month of a "super Wi-Fi" network in the TV white space spectrum.

"We will be using this new technology to extend our networks outdoors into our parks and gardens to provide enhanced services to our citizens," said county Board of Commissioners Vice Chairman Jason Thompson, in a statement.
