Internet goes dark at Navajo reservation


Satellite provider OnSat recently shut off internet service to the Navajo nation, leaving the entire reservation without access vital to education, government, and other services. OnSat claims it did so because the federal government failed to pay about $2 million it owed, which OnSat in turn pays to a subcontractor for satellite time.
I'm not sure what is worse here, that a Nation of people I grew to love when I lived In AZ lost their link to the world, or that our Federal Government was paying for it.
