After months of anticipation, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released an order on October 27, 2011, which has significant impacts on your Cooperative. A primary goal of the order is to increase broadband adoption. Subsequently, a financial impact of the order affects the traditional support we have received for providing telephone service, and redirects those funds to broadband services. At this time, we are awaiting specific details of the order and the subsequent financial impacts on your Cooperative. Throughout this process, we will engage our legislators and regulators to secure the best possible outcome for your Cooperative. We will continue to keep you updated through our newsletter, and we are grateful for your ongoing support.
