Doesn't sound like Arthur is broke to me......
« on: December 08, 2011, 08:27:55 AM »

Found this online today.  Couldn't find a date on when it was written, but the source was:  http://www.turpel.com/turpel_132.htm

EDIT..... Just found the date on another sight, it dates back to 2007.  Maybe he lost his butt in this, and it is taking the wood boiler business down with it?



"Arthur Turple, the owner of a Truro company has his heart set on bringing technology to rural areas across the globe. And after only six months in business, the world is looking a little smaller.

Netbundle president Arthur Turple recently signed a deal to provide wireless Internet to Kazakhstan, a country located south of Russia and west of China. At the moment, only four per cent of the population accesses the Internet. His company will provide all equipment necessary for the job, with a large portion of fibre wire coming from an old military base in the country. “There’s a big portion of the country that has nothing and you can only run wireless so far.”

Netbundle will also be offering a much cheaper plan for Internet, which now costs $118 a month just for dial-up access. “We need to start at $20 a month so we can get everyone on.” The first phase of the project is worth $60 million and there will be a lot more where that came from, with the entire project reaching upwards of $500 million.

Arthur Turple first entered the business world in 2001, when he purchased Wood Doctor. Earlier this year, he went into business with John Hardy with the goal of bringing true high speed Internet to rural areas. They now have 10 towers in the Truro area. Somewhat surprised by his success, he can’t quite explain how he’s gotten this far in only six months.

“It may sound strange but everyday something good happens.” He said it could’ve taken five to 10 years to reach these heights. And with talks taking place in Pakistan, Thailand and Italy, there’s no telling what will happen next.

“I can see so much we can do ... but you can only do so much at a time” The Kazakhstan deal means he’s expanding his Truro operations."
