I grew up in a small rural West Texas town with a fantastic educational environment. Not only my parents, but every administrator and educator supported and challenged me. I cherish the memories of visiting with my mother while she cooked for the family - our chance to converse. I remember her sharing the following one day: "Never forget your roots, but also never be afraid to grow and reach for the stars." The same is true in business and our industry. Let us not forget our roots. Invention of the Telephone (1876) Early Telephone Networks (Late 19th to Early 20th Century) Expansion and Automation (Mid-20th Century) Digital Revolution (Late 20th Century) Advanced Internet, Speed, and Delivery (Late 20th Century to Present) Throughout our history, the telephone industry has continually adapted to technological advancements and changing consumer needs, shaping the way people connect and communicate across the globe. Let us continue to move forward with vigor, drive, and determination reaching for the stars and continue to grow with technology. #NTCA #TTA #rural #broadband #Texas #telephone #determination
