Broadband company AccessParks wants to install high-speed internet throughout Yellowstone National Park, through more than 400 buildings in the park's developed areas that are managed by Xanterra Parks & Resorts. AccessParks claims that the lack of quality internet turns away visitors from national parks, and installing reliable high speed internet would change that. Kurt Repanshek of the National Parks Traveler relays in his article "Neither the proposal nor AccessParks' website lists the cost of using the service." Properties in the park that would be affected include Canyon Lodge, Lake Hotel, the Lake Hamilton Store, 78 Lake Hotel guest cabins, 64 Lake Lodge guest cabins, Seagull Dormitory, Mammoth Hotel, 97 Mammoth guest cabins, the Mammoth Dining Hall, Lodgepole dormitory, Juniper dormitory, Spruce dormitory, Old Faithful Inn, Old Faithful Lodge, 161 Old Faithful guest cabins, Laurel dormitory, and Columbine dormitory.
