During the Harrison County Board of Supervisor's meeting on August 25, 2025, a significant discussion emerged regarding the provision of Wi-Fi services in rural areas. Concerns were raised about the effectiveness of existing cell towers operated by Seaspire, which are claimed to be exempt from certain regulations.

A board member highlighted that while these towers are positioned in rural locations, they are not adequately equipped to provide reliable Wi-Fi services to homes in those areas. The spacing of the towers means that they cannot deliver the necessary coverage or quality of service that residents expect. This has raised questions about the legitimacy of claims made by Seaspire regarding their service capabilities.

The discussion also touched on a recent press release from Seaspire, which announced plans to introduce fixed wireless services. However, the timing of this announcement—just days before a related bill was passed—has led to skepticism among board members about the company's commitment to actually delivering these services.

Residents in rural Harrison County are left wondering about the future of their internet access, as the current infrastructure appears insufficient to meet their needs. The board's ongoing scrutiny of Seaspire's operations may lead to further actions aimed at ensuring that residents receive the reliable internet service they deserve.

As the meeting concluded, it was clear that the board is committed to addressing these concerns, emphasizing the importance of quality internet access for all residents, particularly in underserved areas. The outcome of these discussions could have lasting implications for connectivity and quality of life in Harrison County.
