E-TEL state-reach reading
E-TEL opens on geographic reach: #488 of 2,138 filers by states with filings (1 state), with 308 records behind that footprint.
E-TEL sits in the lower third of Form 477 providers by record volume (< 329). Thin filing books still matter when they dominate one state or a niche technology pocket rather than a national residential footprint.
Kentucky alone accounts for 100.0% of E-TEL's filings (308 of 308), a concentrated book where one state can swing the national picture. Form 477 historically let providers mark a whole census block from a single reachable address; treat these counts as declared capability, not address-level availability, speed, or price.
