    There are no power lines to these places.

    They use local diesel generators for power.

    These places are as remote and isolated as it gets… I’m just trying to figure out why and expensive undersea cable was put in place for about 8000 people that doesn’t connect to anywhere… And if it does it’s wireless… So why not make the whole thing wireless fro the start

      It’s the Inuit party-line system. One shared phoneline for all communities. Mostly used for gossipy listening in on people’s phone calls, plus its the main method for organizing booty calls.
