Madison River Communications Corp.

Industry:

Telephony & Wireless

Description

Madison River Communications was formed to acquire and then integrate and improve the operations of rural, local telephone companies. Since 1998, we've acquired five rural telephone companies, and we believe our disciplined approach to operations has improved each of them.

Today, Madison River - headquartered in Mebane, North Carolina - operates telephone companies in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Illinois, and is the nation's 19th largest telephone company. Our telephone companies operate as incumbent local exchange carriers and are leading providers of voice and data services to homes and businesses in the communities we serve. The companies offer local and long distance voice calling services, high-speed broadband Internet, dial-up Internet, telephone directories, and other communications and entertainment services.

At the close of the second quarter of 2006, we had 238,675 connections in service: 186,595 voice access lines and 52,080 Broadband and high-speed data connections. Our RLEC residential broadband penetration now exceeds 42%.
