When the internet had become available and even popular for a great many places in the US, it was still of very limited access to the Indian reservations in the Southern California. On some reservations, the telephone lines were of so bad quality that a modem was unable to connect, while on other reservations, they had no phones at all. The Mission Indians, those who are actually indigenous to San Diego County, are catogorized into four groups.
In order to isolate the Indians from other ethnic groups, the Indian reservations were selected as prisons. Besides, the conditions of telecommunications industry on these reservations were extremely poor. However, since the locals had very limited knowledge, it seemed impossible for them to negotiate with government officials and local corporations for better qualities of telecommunications.
On some of these tribal reservations, there was no internect connectivity at all. In their effort to provide wireless networking and connect the reservations the TDV, they experienced tremendous difficulty, such as the harsh weather and the unaccessibility of power and water. Nevertheless, the mountaintops of these tribes were a great help because the Natives saved much money from not having to rent or buy the land. It was really a long and tough time for the workers and engineers to develop TDV. But with the help of the government, increasing fundraise, as well as the mountaintop, the TDV was eventually built on these sites. Throughout the course of nine years, TDV grew to serve seventeen tribes. The main problem also changed: the network is too slow to meet people's needs. The team constructed twenty-three towers when confronted with the obstacle.
While it was easy to convince the government workers, the major focus was to encourage the Native communities, who had almost no previoius experience at all, to build and start using the internet. For the peoples, the new technology was like an invasion. For sure, they wouldn't have succeeded without convincing the Native indigenous peoples.
