NEW LOOK. SAME GREAT SERVICE.
UPDATE FROM THE CEO & PRESIDENT service in the future, but for now, we have decreased the residential price for our 500 Mb and 1 Gig service so that all members can enjoy access to lightning-fast internet. Another recent change comes in the form of capital credits. Since 2008, RTC Networks has made more than $189,000,000 in upgrades to our plant infrastructure. Due to these large investments, as well as federal restrictions,

most exciting changes in our cooperative’s history. RTC has grown immensely in the 70 years since we were formed, both in the territories we serve and the services we offer. With all of these changes, we felt it was time for a name that reflects who we are and where we are going while still honoring where we have been. We firmly believe that this updated name, along with our new look, positions us as a progressive cooperative on the cutting edge of communications technology. You can read more about the meaning behind our new name and look on page 14 of this Annual Report. In 2021, RTC Networks became one of the first companies in the nation to offer 10 Gig internet service. This revolutionary new speed will change the way we work, learn, play, and live. New Town Public Schools, our first customer to sign on for 10 Gig, is using their new speed to eliminate barriers and redefine education—and that is just the beginning. While this service is currently only available to business customers, we have received several inquiries from our members. We look forward to expanding this 8
has authorized our first general capital credit retirement in over a decade. More than 2,500 checks totaling just over service during the years of 1990, 1991, and 1992. We thank you for your patience in returning this capital to you and plan to continue these retirements going forward. Of course, we can’t speak of change in 2020 without mentioning the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic interrupted everyone’s lives to some extent; here at RTC Networks, it forced us to learn new ways to serve our members while keeping our communities safe. While we asked almost every employee to work virtually throughout the worst months of the pandemic, we remained mindful of our responsibility to continue providing quality service— especially at a time when connection was more important than ever. RTC Networks received many new service requests from those requiring internet access in order to work or attend school from home. We signed the Federal Communication Commission’s “Keep Americans Connected” pledge, agreeing not to terminate service to any customers through June 2020 because of their inability to pay
their bills, and to waive any late fees that they may have incurred because of the pandemic. Our technicians continued to install new services and make maintenance calls throughout the pandemic, even when it required them to wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment, or PPE, into members’ homes. We are so grateful for the entire RTC Networks team, who adapted to the constant changes and consistently went above and beyond to keep our communities connected during an incredibly difficult time. Despite the many changes that have occurred over
“
the past year, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to keep our members informed, connected, secure, and entertained. As we continue to grow and evolve as a cooperative, we promise to never falter in our mission to provide you the cutting edge technology you need to communicate, with the integrity and quality of service you’ve come to expect. Thank you for your continued loyalty and support of RTC Networks. We look forward to another exciting year as your trusted community cooperative!

RTC NETWORKS’
NEW LOOK The secret is out: Reservation Telephone Cooperative is now RTC Networks! We are entering an exciting new era of expansion and innovation. And as our team and board looked toward the future, we realized that our current name no longer reflected everything we do, or every area we serve.
We did not want to lose the loyalty and respect that our predecessors worked so hard to associate with RTC; however, we knew it was time to rethink the meaning behind those three letters. Over the past 70 years, we’ve expanded our territory to serve more than 10,000 customers and over 6,000 miles. That growth is not stopping any time soon - through federal programs like RDOF and Reconnect we are expanding services to the West and into Montana.
What’s in a Name?
When a group of passionate community leaders came together to form RTC in 1951, their goal was to bring low-cost, high-quality telephone service to under-served areas of northwest North Dakota. At the time, having access to a telephone line was revolutionary for rural residents; it was their primary connection to each other and to the world. But the technology we use to communicate has changed drastically over the years, and telephone services are now just a small part of our business. We now provide innovative television, streaming, and surveillance services, and at the heart of it all is high speed internet.
In the seven decades since we were formed, Reservation Telephone Cooperative has been a pillar of our community. Our abbreviated name, RTC, is instantly recognizable; when our members hear
As our world has grown increasingly reliant on the internet to work, learn, play, and live, we have continually adapted and innovated to keep our members connected. This has meant launching
It was time for a change. RTC Networks is a new name and look that prepares us for the future while honoring our past. As a cooperative, we are responsible to you, our members. It’s our duty to keep you informed of all changes happening within our organization, so here is an inside look behind the meaning of our new brand.
14
those three letters, they know that they are going to receive excellent service from people that they can trust.
blazing fast speeds like 1 Gig and 10 Gig long before some of the largest providers in the nation. And with recent upgrades to our fiber network, we will be able to offer even faster speeds, conduct interstate traffic, and build redundancy—so that our members will always have access to the internet whenever they need it, despite outages. We have built the fiber network of the future. This network will become even more important in the years to come, enabling technologies that we haven’t even dreamed of yet. With “Networks” right in our name, we are proving that we are a cooperative committed to staying on the cutting edge of communications technology.
The “Connected Star” With our new name came a need for a new logo. We wanted a tech-forward look that is clean and modern, yet classic enough to withstand the test of time. The final design consists of five arrows joined in a circular pattern, which together create a shape that RTC Networks calls “the Connected Star.” The shape is an homage to a star network topography, a kind of computer network in which every host is connected to a central hub that acts as a conduit to transmit messages. Just like the central hub of a star network, we are proud to be the communication hub for our region, connecting all of our communities to each other and to the world.
New Look, Same Values When Reservation Telephone Cooperative was formed in 1951, our founders made a promise to keep their communities informed and connected. Our name and look may have changed, but RTC Networks is still the same cooperative at heart. That promise and our cooperative values—like integrity, quality, and community—will continue to guide every step that we take. As we continue to adapt to our changing world, RTC Networks promises to provide cutting-edge technologies to keep you connected, with the quality of service you’ve come to expect.
“ As our world has grown increasingly reliant on the internet to work, learn, play, and live, we have continually adapted and innovated to keep our members connected.
