Who Is RidgeviewTel and why are we doing this?
We are a small, privately held communications and technology company based in Longmont, CO fueled by our belief that everyone deserves access to the Internet and the opportunities that connectivity provides. We work hard everyday monitoring and supporting networks and customers to bring them the best high speed Internet experience possible.

As you know, President Obama has made it very clear he’s putting funds and research into building out our nation’s network communications infrastructure. What he and his colleagues don’t know is who really needs it? Where should they start?

That’s where we come in. With our systems, created and managed by folks just like you, we will help direct the efforts responsible for bringing you online.

We have technology that can get high-speed Internet – wireless or wireline – to you faster and cheaper than anyone. We need your location, it’s that simple.

How does it work?
The more people that login and get mapped in your area increases your chances that a provider will invest in building out your area and community. It could be RidgeviewTel or it might be another carrier, but the more valid customer locations in a given area will increase the probability that some of those funds in the stimulus page come to you in the form of high speed connectivity.

What do I need to do?
Submit your name, physical service location and email address.
That’s it.

What will RidgeviewTel do?
We will keep this information in a secure location for the purpose of mapping and designing communications networks across the country.
