What the FCC Data Tells Us About West River Telecommunications Cooperative

West River Telecommunications Cooperative appears in the FCC Form 477 broadband deployment dataset with 13,027 individual filings spread across 2 states and territories. That volume of filings points to a localized operator — each record represents a distinct census-block-and-technology combination the provider has reported serving, so the raw count reflects both geographic reach and the number of technology tiers the company deploys (for example, fiber and DSL in the same block count as two records).

North Dakota is the largest single market for West River Telecommunications Cooperative with 12,280 deployment records on file, followed by South Dakota at 747 records. Averaged across its footprint, the provider files roughly 6,514 records per state — a useful yardstick for comparing how deeply it has penetrated each territory versus competitors listed on the same state pages.

Keep in mind Form 477 counts filings, not subscribers or homes passed. A high record count means the provider has told the FCC it is capable of serving many census blocks; it does not guarantee active service at any specific street address, nor does it reflect actual subscriber numbers.
