NTCA Welcomes Alpine Communications to National Network of Smart Rural Community Providers

October 1, 2019


Across the United States, rural, community-based broadband providers are serving small towns with robust broadband networks to support critical and innovative solutions for rural communities. These technological leaders are helping to build a nationwide network of Smart Rural Communities, where broadband connections are helping create a brighter future for rural America. Today, NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association is pleased to welcome Alpine Communications into this nationwide network in recognition of the company’s important work in bringing broadband-enabled advances to rural America.
