Telnor has begun the rollout of its WiMax internet,
the technology the phone company has chosen to replace
the outdated phone technology used by most campo residents
north of San Felipe. Five people have been connected
so far (January 13,2012). Their internet speed has been
reported to be 1.25 Mbs, a tremendous improvement over
the current 1/10th of a meg.

Good News
Telnor has started installing/upgrading their new internet/phone
system. We now have fantastic internet access and a
new phone number 688-****. (don't print the number)
We will all be getting new phone numbers with the new
system. Kind of a pain, but I don't care!!! No more
TelCel internet access for us!
The rollout appears to be progressing slowly and those
who are numerically parked in the 100's are likely pacing
a trough in their rugs. But unless they are newbies
to the area, they know things will get done in the fullness
of time down here. Hopefully before the Mayan calendar
expires.
