Iowa is unique - 133 independent telephone companies throughout the state are connected to a privately-owned and operated 1400-mile state-of-the-art fiber optic network. In 1986, these companies pooled their resources and formed the world's first centralized equal access network. With this network, and their own digitial switches and local networks, these rural companies provide world-class telecommunications services to their customers, equal or superior to the services available in large metro areas. Together, these companies represent the most advanced rural telecommunications network in the United States. Each of the independents is very community oriented and works to promote and develop education and business within their communities. Please take a few minutes and explore these diverse and unique communities and the telephone companies that serve them. |
