Social Responsibility

We love rural communities

It is our mission and responsibility to enrich and aid rural communities with affordable and reliable broadband with the goal of making life better in the communities we serve.


It is my belief that internet access is no longer a
“want” but rather a “need.”
– Wayne Livingston, President/CEO

In providing rural broadband to communities, our hope is that many new doors will open that were once closed. Doors that help grow possibilities and expand opportunities in technology, education, medicine and entertainment.

Our affiliate company, Diverse Power, shares this hope and was founded in 1936 with similar goals. A member owned and operated electric cooperative, Diverse Power was established in order to serve rural farmers and businesses with electricity.

Along with providing electricity to energize homes and businesses, Diverse Power further serves its members by engaging in various community initiatives aimed at improving the lives of all residents. Whether it’s by partnering with area schools to provide needed teaching materials, or joining forces with other organizations to boost community and economic development in our region, Diverse Power continuously strives to make a positive and powerful impact in all the communities through which its utility lines extend.
