OPHEIM, Mont. - Kevin Nelson was recently in the middle of his
3,800-acre farm in northeast Montana, where the landscape stretches out like an ocean, when his tractor broke. He tried to find a cellular signal strong enough to send a photo of the broken part to a repair shop 65 miles away, but failed."It's really frustrating," Mr. Nelson, 47, said about the poor reception. "We keep being told it's going to improve,it's going to improve."
