Venture Communications state-reach reading
Venture Communications opens on geographic reach: #187 of 2,138 filers by states with filings (2 states), with 8,509 records behind that footprint.
Among 2,138 Form 477 providers on this site, Venture Communications 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 99.6% of Venture Communications's filings (8,479 of 8,509), 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.
