We tried several companies at Wasatch Commons for internet for the entire 
community, but got a flat no from each company. Mary English

We don’t resell it. We pay it out of the common budget as a lump sum. And we 
told them we were doing this and how it needed to be set up. There was no 
problem.

We could do the same thing with cable TV but not enough people here watch TV or 
want cable.
