What is a cooperative?

A cooperative is a business owned by those it serves. Reservation Telephone Cooperative (RTC) was formed in 1951 to provide low cost quality telephone service to its member owners.

How can I participate in the cooperative?

As a member owner, you are given an opportunity each year to be nominated or to nominate someone for the RTC Board of Directors. The election of RTC Directors is held each year at RTC’s Annual Meeting. The rights and obligations of RTC’s members are covered in the RTC by-laws, which are printed in each RTC telephone directory. An RTC member may also obtain a copy of the by-laws or obtain any other information about the cooperative by calling RTC headquarters.

Growth

We are about 80% built out with Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH).
