Back in July we posted the
results of a study we conducted about internet speeds around the nation. At that time, we named Idaho as the slowest state, with average download speeds of a sluggish 318KBps.
A few days ago, the New York Times quoted our results in relation to an issue we never even considered: bears.
"Barry Ramsay, who owns a small manufacturing company here between two mountains, remembers the day his Internet connection crashed for several hours. Work crews had to ride up in snowmobiles to discover the problem.
'They said that bears had been rubbing against the towers,' Mr. Ramsay said. In this mountainous state, where some connections depend on line of sight, even snow and fog can disrupt the signals. 'These are the kind of problems you probably don’t have in an urban area,' he said."

New York Times website.
who would haves guessed bears would help spread the Pando name?
