I've been to the British Columbia ski mecca of Whistler several times. Even went there in the summer of 1999 with my then-girlfriend The Marpet (a.k.a. "HeyMarpet").
Even took this pix from inside a Whistler ski lift.
That was a millennia ago, but in this millennia- one in which the 2010 Winter Olympic Games ski competition will be held in Whistler, the resort has a significantly higher profile.
A profile which, no doubt, has convinced Canadian telecommunications provider TELUS to introduce Wireless High Speed service to Whistler.
Announced today, the service will be compatible with the BlackBerry 7130e just released by TELUS earlier this week. In between sessions on the slopes, or even on the ski lifts, Whistler-visiting BlackBerry 7130e users who are TELUS customers will also be able to use the device to connect their laptops to the Web over TELUS' High Speed Network.
