Roberts County Telephone Cooperative Association state-reach reading
Among 2,138 Form 477 providers on this site, Roberts County Telephone Cooperative Association 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.
South Dakota alone accounts for 91.9% of Roberts County Telephone Cooperative Association's filings (7,362 of 8,014), 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.
