Point Roberts, Washington is a tiny exclave of the United States located south of Tsawwassen, British Columbia and separated by water from the continental United States. Telecommunications on "The Point," as it is locally known, are extremely unusual, not only in the United States, but in the world. In this talk, TProphet will introduce you to this unique community, and describe the past, present, and future of telecom in one of the world's most geographically fascinating places.
