Connecting America - All of It

Middle Mile Momentum: How Rural Collaboration Fuels National Impact

July marks a powerful midpoint in the year – a chance to reflect, recalibrate, and refocus on the road ahead. At INDATEL Services, we’re doing exactly that. And if our 2025 Business Symposium in Kansas City is any indication, the momentum we’re building is not just measurable – it’s monumental. 

A Record-Breaking Symposium, Rooted in Purpose 

This year’s 19th Annual Business Symposium was the most impactful to date. We welcomed a record number of attendees, from longtime members and supplier affiliates to first-time attendees and industry trailblazers, who gathered to share ideas, spark innovation, and align around a common goal: delivering high-capacity connectivity to rural and underserved America. 

Thought-provoking panels and powerful speaker sessions at the Business Symposium showed that uniting local providers on a national platform drives real progress. Whether it was hallway conversations or structured sessions, the collaborative spirit was undeniable, and it reminded us why INDATEL exists in the first place. We exist because of and for our membership; our purpose is to facilitate deeper connections, literally with diverse network connectivity, and figuratively with member and partner relationships. 

A Mid-Year Milestone Worth Celebrating 

2025 has already been a banner year. So far, INDATEL has: 

  • Expanded our fiber reach and lit capacity across new and existing markets 
  • Grown our internal team to better serve our network and its evolving needs 
  • Continued investing in technology and integration, enhancing customer experience and visibility through platforms like Salesforce and Connectbase 

These milestones are not simply goal benchmarks – they represent progress toward a more equitable digital future, one where no community is left behind. 

What’s Next: Building on the Momentum 

As we head into the second half of the year, we’re not slowing down. Our sights are set on: 

  • Expanding reach in key underserved markets 
  • Enhancing real-time network insights and visibility for members and customers 
  • Driving awareness and conversations that support rural broadband development 
  • Deepening collaboration between our national sales team and local providers 

This is the middle mile in action – where INDATEL and our members work together to connect rural America to the world, one mile at a time. 

Join the Mission: Bridging the Divide Together 

We believe that high-quality broadband access is not a luxury – it is a necessity. That’s why we’re on a mission to reach the unreachable, to serve the underserved, and to create a nationwide network that’s built by rural, for rural. 

If you were at the Business Symposium earlier this month, thank you for fueling the momentum. If you couldn’t make it, we hope to connect with you soon. Either way – now is the time to be part of something bigger. 

Let’s keep building. Let’s keep bridging. Let’s keep moving forward – together.
