The Tribal Digital Village of Southern California is officially complete with the construction of a wireless network serving 18 tribal communities.

The Southern California Tribal Chairmen's Association launched the project with a $5 million grant from Hewlett-Packard. The tribes will sell Internet connections, train tribal members and run Hi-Rez Digital Solutions, a print shop.

The network means even the most remote of the tribes in southern California will have access. The system covers 200 miles in San Diego County.
