Finding Alaska's Villages: And Connecting Them

Finding Alaska's Villages: And Connecting Them

InÂ Finding Alaska's VillagesÂ Alex Hills tells how he traveled Alaska by bush plane and snow machine, braving extreme weather and rough terrain to bring telephone service to small villages across the big state. Alex and his team battled the wind at Little Diomede and used some creative thinking to bring phone service to that remote village. He arrived at Little Diomede at the same time that some Inupiaq Russians appeared on the sea ice nearby.

Alex later took charge of KOTZ, Kotzebue's new public radio station, which he shaped into a valuable information resource for the people of Alaska's huge northwest region. At each step along the way, Alex made friends with Alaska's village people and developed a deep respect for them.

InÂ Finding Alaska's VillagesÂ Alex also describes how he helped the state's telecom pioneers bring about an innovation that would forever change rural Alaska. It took some creative technical work -- and some convincing of government officials and corporate executives -- to make it happen. Soon the needed telecommunication services -- two-way medical communication, a phone in every house and business,and radio and television programs -- were available in Alaska's villages.
