Since the year 2002, Long Lines has created 50/50 partnerships with a number of communities to offer a complete telecommunications package to the town. The communities of Onawa, Orange City, and Mapleton, IA are all in partnerships with Long Lines. Long Lines installs new fiber and equipment, sets up a central office, and offers state-of-the-art services at competitive rates. Additionally, we've added several other communities to our service area including Whiting and Danbury, IA, and Dakota Dunes, SD. In late 2005, Long Lines partnered with Schaller Telephone to offer high-tech services to the communities of Correctionville, Anthon, Holstein, and Ida Grove. In 2005/2006, Long Lines updated the equipment in the communities of Logan, Magnolia, Woodbine, and Missouri Valley to provide phone, high speed Internet, and cable TV. The first "triple-play" of services was offered to Woodbine in November 2006, followed by Magnolia in January 2007, Logan in April 2007, and Missouri Valley in June 2007. In the Spring of 2006, Long Lines began a major Cable TV overbuild project in our home-base of Sgt. Bluff and by the Summer of 2007 had completed installation of new cable lines to over 1400 homes. Long Lines ventured into the wireless cell phone industry in December 2005 with the purchase of two wireless service providers, creating "Long Lines Wireless". Since June 2006, Long Lines Wireless has activated over 120 cell sites, opened 14 new retail stores including three in Sioux City, and others in South Sioux City, Sergeant Bluff, LeMars, Orange City, Storm Lake, Spencer, Spirit Lake, Yankton, Vermillion, Fort Dodge and Sioux Falls and signed over 30 authorized agents. In addition, we have created calling plans unlike anyone else. Long Lines Wireless prides itself on offering unlimited calling and a nationwide network. In the Fall of 2006, construction began to overbuild South Sioux City, Nebraska with new fiber optic telecommunications equipment to every resident and business. The majority of the overbuild was completed by Fall of 2007 with the remaining to be completed in 2008. Through this expansion, Long Lines has added 50 new positions including managerial, retail store and outside sales staff, wireless technicians, and additional customer service representatives. We are currently activating over 1,000 wireless customers each month in the Siouxland area as well as providing service to our existing 33,000 phone, Internet, and cable TV customers throughout the tri-state area. Our Board of Directors has years of experience building companies based on quality products and services. Backed by our Management team, Long Lines continues to work hard to bring you the best phone, cable, internet and wireless experience in the area.
