Central Solutions announced that its high-speed wireless Internet service on Beaver Island would end after 30 September 2008. The notice gave no reason and said the three 180-foot towers might be available for another operator.

Evidence limits

This records the announced cessation, not the later ownership, reuse, or actual service availability of the towers.
