Otelco Inc. state-reach reading
Otelco Inc. opens on geographic reach: #49 of 2,138 filers by states with filings (6 states), with 8,082 records behind that footprint.
Among 2,138 Form 477 providers on this site, Otelco Inc. 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.
The lead state (Alabama) holds 44.0% of Otelco Inc.'s filings (3,554 records). That is a moderate peak: several states still move this filer's national total. 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.
