Alaska’s best Apple store is MacHaus. They have three locations statewide in Anchorage, Wasilla and Fairbanks. Locally owned and operated, MacHaus provides Apple Specialist repair services and sells all the Apple and Mac products with the exception of the iPhone. Visit their site: www.machaus.net

The golden question is: Will it compete with DSL/cable internet?
