The Wyoming cable television industry took its first steps in 1953 to bring television to people who lived in areas that were unable to receive conventional broadcast signals. Since those early days, the industry has grown into a thriving telecommunications force.

Cable television is currently available to more than 96% percent of the television viewing homes with 101,000 households in Wyoming being served by over 62 cable systems.

The Wyoming cable industry has enriched the information, news, public affairs and entertainment choices of Wyoming television viewers. On a broader scale, the industry has also created new options for home and business consumers through convergence with telephone and computer technologies.

Many cable systems have now moved beyond offering only video programming and offer voice and data products, including personal communications services and high-speed access to the worldwide computer network, the Internet.

The future with telephones, wifi, mobile and who knows what else is just below the horizon. It may even be a little above it by now.
