Summary
In January 2011, a Beaver Island Forum post shared an ER-BAM report on the early use of public Wi-Fi in Elk Rapids and said Cherry Capital Connection was continuing to work toward bringing Wi-Fi to and on Beaver Island. The thread records an advocacy and comparison point in the island’s broadband discussion, not a confirmed deployment.
Evidence limits
The forum post is a reposting channel for an external report and a participant statement about future work. It does not establish that island-wide Wi-Fi was installed or that the Elk Rapids results would transfer to Beaver Island.
