Blue Horizon has partned with Globetel Communications (GTE—not to be confused with that other, now-gone GTE). Their GTE has built networks all over the world, they say, and would essentially handle the project’s physical and engineering part with Blue Horizon dealing with the front end. They propose free service of 768K/256K, paid service outdoor of 1.5M/768K ($9.95/month), and indoor service at the same speed and rate. They talk about town-by-town deployment with a 12-to-16-month timetable from analysis and design through activation. They propose urban coverage initially with highways and freeways coming in a second phase, and rural in a third phase. The timing makes sense because costs will become lower and lower for rural wireless in the next two years. Blue Horizon is in the middle of raising funds, they note (page 36). GTE will supply their own software, hardware, engineering, and installation. Blue Horizon has no Web site noted in their proposal or that I can find online.
