That article has the worst Google map ever. It's zeroed in on Beijing rather than Xinjiang which is really the other side of the country. You'll get a better idea from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang

If anyone is in XinJiang and need Internet access, here's a way

Setup your laptop's modem and get connected to telephone wire, dial 16300 with username 16300 and password 16300.

16300 works in all parts of China.

Yes, the government forgot Internet over PSTN.

I'm not sure if posting instructions here will help anyone in XinJiang much...

Is this free? You don't need an account with the local ISP?

It's not free, you have to pay in you telephone bill.
