Communities on the Navajo Nation will keep their Internet service, at least until August 1.

Most of the tribe's 110 chapters receive service through OnSat Network Communications Inc., a Utah company. But OnSat has lost $2.1 million in federal funding and can't pay its provider for the service.

OnSat lost its funding after a tribal audit questioned the company's billing practices. OnSat was receiving funds through a special Federal Communications Commission program.
