NetAmerica Alliance, LLC announced Peoples Telephone Cooperative (Quitman, Texas) and Etex Telephone Cooperative (Gilmer, Texas) as two new alliance participants.

Both have signed charters, are committed to rolling out 4G LTE services, and are building a mobile broadband network in their license areas. These two new participants bring an additional population coverage of over 650,000 subscribers and a land mass of over 7,500 square miles. NetAmerica has joined forces with rural independent license holders, that are deploying converged 4G wireless/wireline networks, to provide business and network services including combined buying power, nationwide branding, 24/7 network monitoring, 4G core network elements, applications development and other key services needed to build the converged network of the future.
