According to an article from CNN.com's TECH section, the Navajo Nation in New Mexico is going to lose their Internet Service Provider today. Essentially there was a mess-up with the payment - the Navajo actually double-paid their bills, and for reasons further described in the article, their ISP OnSat is going to drop the entire 27,000 mile reservation.
Due to the environment the Navajo Nation live in, it is near impossible to get proper wired internet into the area. As a result, they are forced to rely upon satellite service in order to use the web. Obviously the loss of their ISP is going to come as a huge blow to the reservation.
The article, called "Navajo Nation likely to lose Internet service," can be read here.
