Jimtown Internet is a new organization serving Jamestown, Colorado. The purpose of this organization is to provide high speed, reasonably priced internet access to Jamestown residents. Jimtown Internet will be set-up as a Colorado non-profit organization.

Service is provided via a T-1 data line into Jamestown, and distributed through a wireless infrastructure using 802.11b technologies. For those unfamiliar with wireless communications a simple explanation goes something like: there is an access point that typically services 20 to 40 customers. The customer must be in line of sight of the access point radio antena. Coverage can be extended by using repeaters to get over the many hills and valleys in and around the town. At the customer's site an inexpensive wireless PC card is installed in a computer, and depending on the distance to the access point you may need an additional small to medium sized antena. For those with laptops, you can roam around town, sit by Jim Creek, have a coffee at the Merc and do your internet thing. Presently, the Jamestown Merchantile is hosting the main access point.
