High-speed internet is coming into Grand Teton National Park, the Jackson Hole News & Guide
reported Friday after heated opposition from wilderness groups and some
residents. The National Park Service gave the green light to a proposal
on August 15, to build a network of nine cell towers and 63 miles of a
new fiber-optic line between Flagg Ranch, Moose and Kelly.
The accepted plan was a joint effort by multiple telecommunication
companies and new signals are expected to cover portions of the adjacent
Teton Wilderness. Although construction will start this fall, the
majority of the system will be built in 2020, the News reported.
