WHO IS TSTCI?

We are Rural and RURAL MATTERS!

We are a statewide association of the small, rural telephone cooperatives
and independent local and/or family-owned telephone companies.
TSTCI members are committed to providing rural Texas with the best
telecommunications available. The telecommunications network (“The
Network”) of Texas depends on our member companies’ individual pieces
of “The Network.”

Rural America contains 75% of the nation’s land but is home to only 17% of the
population. Not unlike the national figures, TSTCI member companies serve
over 50% of the geographic area of the State of Texas and approximately 2%
of the total access lines. Our member companies live, work and worship in the
areas they serve. They provide the schools, libraries, farms, ranches, dairies and
other businesses in their service territory with telecommunications services.

We serve the areas of the state that other providers would not and do
not serve. We work hard to keep Rural Texas connected and part of the
telecommunications infrastructure and the economic growth of our service
areas, our communities and our state.

As an association, we advocate for our membership with the state Legislature
and the state regulatory body, Public Utility Commission (PUC) and nationally
with Congress and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on
behalf of our members. We work side-by-side with these entities and other
telecommunications industry advocates to ensure that the rules, regulations
and technologies of telecommunications ever-changing environment continue
to remember that Rural Matters and one size does not fit all.
