Rob Worden Joins INDATEL Services Board of Managers
OVERLAND PARK, KS – INDATEL Services is proud to announce the appointment of Rob Worden, President and CEO of Vision Net, to its Board of Managers, effective July 2025. With nearly four decades of experience in the telecom industry and a career dedicated to advancing connectivity in rural markets, Rob brings a wealth of insight and leadership to the INDATEL team.
“We are thrilled to welcome Rob to our Board of Managers,” said Justin Forte, CEO of INDATEL Services. “Rob’s passion for rural innovation, coupled with his visionary leadership in fiber, data center evolution, and AI-based services, will be instrumental as we continue to collaborate and build a better rural America through endless connectivity.”
Rob’s journey to Vision Net, headquartered in Great Falls, Montana, was serendipitous. A long-time advocate for rural broadband, Rob was drawn to Vision Net by its mission and opportunity to make meaningful impact in a state he and his wife had long admired. Since taking the helm, Rob has been a key driver of innovation, guiding Vision Net through initiatives centered on next-generation data centers, network expansion, and advanced services that position rural communities for long-term success.
At INDATEL, Rob is looking forward to furthering the organization’s mission by focusing on two key priorities: advocating for rural broadband at a national level and advancing member success through collaborative innovation – particularly in the evolving data center landscape. “Even if we capture just a small percentage of the national data center opportunity, every INDATEL member stands to benefit tremendously,” he shared. “AI and cloud services at the edge are reshaping the future – and INDATEL is uniquely positioned to lead.”
Rob sees INDATEL not just as an aggregator of rural networks, but as a trusted advocate. “What sets INDATEL apart is its ability to unify diverse member networks under one national footprint, while empowering collaboration – not competition,” he said. “Through open dialogue, relationship building, and shared goals, we can help every member thrive.”
As a newly elected board member, Rob is eager to foster deeper engagement across the membership. “Strong relationships are foundational,” he emphasized. “Together, we can unlock strategic growth opportunities that ensure sustainability and connectivity for generations to come.”
Please join us in congratulating Rob Worden on his appointment. We look forward to the leadership, integrity, and strategic foresight he brings to our Board of Managers.
