Mavigny, May 16, 5618:  Today Finance Minister Fabrice Courbet was in Mavigny discussing

telecommunications with local municipal officials and business leaders.  The pinot noir industry in

Martois Province has flourished and brought renewed prosperity to the province, but the cell phone

and utility providers have been reluctant to provide wireless service to the more remote mountainous

areas fearing reduced profits.

 

Courbet acknowledged cell phone and wireless  coverage was not going to just happen and promised

that rather than have the government build transceiver towers and relay stations, grants to utilities and

cellphone companies coupled with low interest government loans and government guaranteed loans

could get them built.

 

This would be the use for the current budget surplus. The money was there.

 

Additionally, the Government would contact the Kanjorean subsidiary of L’Etoile Canrille, the

company which now produces and services the military surveillance satellite network of the Union

of Canrille, about adding civilian communication satellites to its business interests.

 

Courbet felt sure this could be done.
