CELL PHONE SERVICE WILL GET BOOST IN CLAY, BRAXTON AND ROANE

(10/21/2003)

Key Communications' West Virginia Wireless network will soon be expanding cell phone service and getting upgrades. About $23 million dollars in federal loans will make it possible. The loans will be used to build new cellular stations and upgrade existing equipment in Mason, Putnam, Jackson, Kanawha, Roane, Clay and Braxton counties. No improvements for cell service have been announced for Calhoun. Republican Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito says the funds will help connect more than 46,000 new subscribers. The loans are administered by the US Department of Agriculture, which awarded more than 14 million dollars from the Rural Utility Service and more than eight million dollars from the Rural Telephone Bank program.
