I haven’t heard anything from or about Wild Blue in a long time. I guess they’re doing okay though if they’re hiring Quickfarm to handle a customer web portal for them. This also makes you realize how important the rural market is to a satellite internet access provider. I wonder how many farmer customers WildBlue has.
QuickFarm announced today an agreement with WildBlue Communications to provide content and hosting services through the WildBlue Customer Portal.
QuickFarm will provide WildBlue retail subscribers with robust market commentary, national radar weather with zoom and animation, commodity market quotes, Ag news, LDP information, cash grain prices and local news and agronomic information.
An always-on broadband Internet connection, WildBlue’s service offers access speeds that are up to thirty times faster than dial-up. WildBlue’s two-way broadband service provides high-speed data in both directions, upstream and downstream.
