Founded before the World Wide Web had established a presence on the Internet , when most people had not yet even heard of it yet, XMission established itself from the beginning as a computer savvy ISP. In the early years, Ashdown was also the company's main Systems Administrator rather than a businessman who wanted to jump on the Internet bandwagon. His expertise not only helped him make decisions that helped the company survive when the dot com bubble burst but also attracted talented administrators and technicians over the years. Many consider XMission a good citizen as it provides free accounts to hundreds of non-profit organizations regardless of political affiliation and sponsors many events, including the Utah Arts Festival and the Twilight Concert Series. Starting in 2003, the company began providing free wireless in public libraries and some local businesses. By the Summer of 2005, XMission worked out an agreement with Salt Lake City government to expand free wireless to many parts of downtown Salt Lake City, Utah.

During the grand opening, they hosted a LAN Party that hundreds attended to play games and/or install the Linux operating system. EXTERNAL LINKS |
