Federated Telephone Cooperative state-reach reading
Federated Telephone Cooperative opens on geographic reach: #488 of 2,138 filers by states with filings (1 state), with 3,048 records behind that footprint.
Among 2,138 Form 477 providers on this site, Federated Telephone Cooperative sits in the upper third by record volume (≥ 2,064). Large books usually mean many census blocks marked served, not that every block has active subscribers.

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.
