OWNERSHIP
In early 2006, the National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative (NRTC) acquired a majority interest in Telispire.   The two organizations are a perfect fit.   NRTC’s mission is to help its rural electric and telephone industry members build their businesses, promote economic development in rural communities and generally improve the quality of life. Telispire’s emphasis is on turnkey programs, locally labeled products, bundling opportunities and finding ways to help its resellers build customer loyalty.   The two organizations are working together to help resellers market high-quality mobile service with their already successful core products.

 

Telispire’s founders were rural telephone companies, some of which continue to hold shares in the company.   Telispire’s combination of wide coverage areas and easy business-entry options add up to a solution that no other MVNO can match.
