Hi! I am Randy Maish, General Manager of Mulberry Cooperative Telephone.

How do you like your new website? It was time for a change to a current design and layout. Everything you had before is still here, just moved around a little. Hopefully you will find your new look friendly and easy to navigate. Take a look around. If we missed something you would like included on your site, let us know. In addition to my quarterly online newsletter, you will find Tech Talk (Internet Support) articles from Glen, Video Tips and Tricks (Video Support) from Greg and Pete, and movie reviews from Brad and Justin.

Mulberry Cooperative Telephone, in the last 10 years, has transformed from the typical dial tone telephone company into the state-of-the-art telecommunications company that is in the forefront of the industry and we are pleased to have you with us. We have come a long way in a short period offering the latest in IPTV (TV over your telephone line), high definition, high speed internet, and the latest call features.

2009 saw some major investments with the replacement of our DMS 10 digital telephone switch to the CS 1500, a second-generation VoIP softswitch that provides a powerful platform for IP communication services, Video production, High Definition TV, and VDSL. With the increasing demand for data services in the next 10-20 years, Mulberry Telephone has recently started development and installation of fiber-to-the-home in selected areas.

Unlike our competitors, we are not a profit driven company, we are a cooperative. We are Mulberry Telephone, you are Mulberry Telephone. We offer our products and services to our members at fair and reasonable prices, offer advanced services faster, and we take a great deal of pride and professionalism in what we do for you.

I would like to thank the Board of Directors for seeing the vision and all the hard work they put in so that we can reach our goals to provide you with the best service possible. In addition, the entire staff of Mulberry Telephone... without their knowledge, skills and dedication, none of this would be possible. And finally you... the reason we are here.

In future newsletters, I hope to keep you up to date on the latest services we offer and what projects and services we will be providing in the future, like Caller ID name and number displayed on your TV!!
