Despite our best efforts at Coola Studios, and countless man hours invested in new developments, it has become apparent that we can no longer afford to continue development of our systems and products.
Growing operating costs, lack of qualified employees and a serious lack of public interest from both local and national interests; we can no longer continue with our growing losses.
So my mother received an interesting phone call today from a telemarketer in the Philippines.
The telemarketer asked if we were happy with our long distance provider and if we would like to which. We knew right away that something was wrong, because the call was coming from the Philippines and it happens to be fact that we only have one long distance provider in the Yukon.
Northwestel quietly updates there DSL service details on there website after mistakenly changing the overage fees from $10 dollars per Gigabyte to $100 dollars per Gigabyte.
Northwestel claims the error was due to a decimal error on there behalf and no changes have been made the overage fees.
Currently the fees stay the same at $10 dollars per Gigabyte and 1 cent per Megabyte.

Northwestel has made some changes to there Internet usage measurements, the change now measures Internet usage in Gigiabytes instead of Megabytes. Potentially this can mean that the value of Megabytes is now meaningless since Northwestel is now providing “massive” amounts of data usage to there customers. Ideally we wish this was true, but Northwestel has never made any changes to there Internet usage caps since the early 2000’s when Northwestel stopped providing unlimited usage.
The Yukon’s most advance computer systems.
For the last few weeks now, I’ve been developing a new customized I.T. Solutions Suite. This new system allows for advance removal of all Viruses and Malware. This system includes tools for Networking, Data Recovery, Password Recovery, Data Backup, Data Management, etc.
This system can be controlled from a remote location, allowing a signal computer technician to monitor and service at least four computers from a signal workstation. In theory a signal technician can service countless computers from a control room.

Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) will never be in the Yukon.
