WildBlue Satellite Internet

WildBlue Communications, Inc. is a corporation based in Greenwood Village, Colorado. The company offers satellite Internet services to both home and business customers. WildBlue is one of the newer satellite Internet services, beginning operations in June 2005. During the summer of 2005 a dealer network was established to provide installation and customer service to clients throughout the 48 contiguous United States.
