For nearly 20 years, local non-profit ISP Boreal Access has been connecting people in Cook County to the internet and giving them daily news and events through its community-supported homepage. Now that Arrowhead Electric is bringing broadband connection to the county, Boreal's role in the community will change. Jack McDonnell speaks on how Boreal got started all those years ago, how it evolved over time, and what's coming up next.
