In 1969, LeRoy T. Carlson, founder of Telephone and Data Systems, formed TDS Telecom through prudent acquisitions of telephone companies formed by local families, farmers, and co-ops. Mr. Carlson's goal was to provide advanced technology to these small communities, invest in these areas, and provide exceptional customer experiences.
Fast forward to today and although our business goals remain the same, we now offer the latest in high-speed internet, TV, and voice services. Also, as we have grown and changed, we have embraced a culture of diversity and inclusivity.
