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.

Google Fiber is experimenting with the technology in Kansas City and plans to have a test wireless network up and running by year’s end. It’s trying to solve what’s called "the last mile problem" that requires laying fiber-optic cables.

Google parent Alphabet is focusing on new cheaper wireless technology to beam ultra high-speed Internet into people’s homes, executive chairman Eric Schmidt told shareholders during the company’s annual meeting on Wednesday.

"To give you an idea of how serious this is," Schmidt said he had a "lengthy" meeting with Alphabet CEO Larry Page and Chief Financial Officer Ruth Porat to discuss the technology on Tuesday.
