 There is also an undersea power and internet cable from Myshell, [[Faneria]] that supplies some energy as the grid fluctuates.
+====Phone service and internet====
+Phone service is provided by Island Mobile, a co-op with a basic infrastructure layout, that covers the three main municipalities on the island. The logging companies own truck mounted mobile repeaters to extend the service into their {{wp|Unincorporated area}}s, but most companies also maintain a number of satellite phones in their timber camps. There are 6 cell towers that cover 84% of the population despite only covering 18% of the landmass of the island. Landline service is available and is still popular with those who live in the rural parts of Wintergen.
+Highspeed internet service is provided by National Wireless Services a public-private ISP offered to areas of the [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy]] that don't have enough demand to create a competitive market. Residential internet speeds average 2 gigabits while commercial speeds are typically higher in the 3-4 gigabit range. National Wireless Services piggybacks on the Island Mobile towers and also has two towers of their own which provide highspeed wireless connections deep into the logging lands on the west of the island.
+There is also a [[Global Maritime Distress and Safety System]] repeater and beacon on the island.
