The partner we had lined up for Small Business Saturday has backed out on us. We're looking for a new place to go to this coming Saturday. We're looking for tall apartment buildings in the Aurora vicinity. Please let us know ASAP.

Now when they're running out of time to spend their gifted money, they're turning to fixed wireless to bail them out. Funny how that works.
Years ago when our trade assoc sought technology-agnostic rules for the flow of federal money, they fought saying we were slow, unreliable,
The Internet outage was caused by a tripped GFCI outlet (and subsequent draining of the battery backup). It has been reset.
One of our key towers in Yorkville has seemingly lost power. We've reached out to the city to verify and resolve.
