NCTC: Providing Solutions To Our Members For More Than 70 Years

In March of 1951, NCTC, Inc., was the solution to a challenge: how to connect the rural communities of Clay, Macon, Smith, Sumner, and Trousdale counties in Tennessee, and Allen County in Kentucky with state-of-the-art telecommunica tions service while never losing the hometown perspective. And now — 70+ years later — NCTC has expanded to parts of Warren, Grayson, Simpson, Edmonson and Butler counties in Kentucky through a partnership with Warren RECC.

A lot has changed over the last 70+ years. NCTC has grown to provide service to approximately 20,000 members/subscribers throughout the Upper Cumberland of Tennessee and Kentucky. Our service mission has never wavered. Only the technology has changed. NCTC encompasses the spectrum of consumer-based telecommuni cations for the 21st century, including digital telephone service ( 1969 ), practical technology of advanced calling features ( which have been continuously updated since 1987 ), the expansion of services adding cellular partnerships, equal access to long-distance carriers ( 1992 ), Long Distance ( 1998 ), local Internet dial-up and dedicated accounts ( 1995 ), and the availability of Digital Subscriber Line ( 2000 ). And the monumental new network in Scottsville City, providing local telephone service, Internet/DSL and video services, was introduced in 2002. 2004 marked a big year in network enhancements with the addition of digital entertainment, high-definition TV, and a new office in Westmo reland. In 2005, as part of its ongoing commitment to the communi ty, NCTC added a local school channel for school events and sports while also continuing to expand the service area for Digital TV. 2006 brought online bill payment capabilities and the introduction of local programming on the local channel. 2007 was the year NCTC really expanded its local programming on channels 6 and 15 with local stars and local events, truly differentiating its TV product.

In addition to the fiber build-out, NCTC constructed a new Central Of fice Annex building in 2011, which houses all of the fiber optic equip ment to support NCTC’s fiber optic network as well as a data center for future economic development. During 2011 and 2012, NCTC also made significant improvements to its call processing capabilities by upgrading its voice switching equipment. The new switch, known as

a soft switch, provides en hanced capabilities, while doing it more efficiently— the old switch took up an entire 34 x 34 room, but the new soft switch now takes up the space of a gym locker! In 2015, NCTC’s service area was recognized as a Smart Rural Commu nity by NTCA—the Rural Broadband Association. Then, in 2016, the associ ation certified NCTC as a Gig Capable Provider.

Additionally, beginning in 2017, as part of a USDA Community Con nect Grant, NCTC expanded its Tennessee reach into northern Trous dale County, Parker Thurman in Sumner County and Riddleton / Dixon Springs in Smith County, where residents previously had no access to broadband. Later that same year, NCTC also expanded to include portions of Warren County, Kentucky. In 2019, NCTC partnered with Warren RECC for a pilot project to de ploy fiber internet to an unserved portion of Warren County. The pi lot was so successful that the two co-ops continued the partnership into other areas of Warren, Simpson, Grayson, Edmonson, and Butler Counties in Kentucky. A new streaming TV service was deployed in 2022 to give subscribers more options and packages, as well as reduce bulky customer equip ment. These enhancements allow for more versatile viewing options. Throughout seven decades and countless technology upgrades, one thing remains the same—our unwavering commitment to serving our customers and our community.

2008 began the construc tion phases of fiber to the home. 2010-2011 were two of the busiest years, as NCTC was awarded the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’s Broad band Stimulus Award. This award ensured all of NCTC’s Tennessee ser vice area will be built out with the most technologi cally advanced fiber optic network anywhere in the world! Additionally, Allen County, Kentucky, was up graded to an all-fiber net work as well.

The Mission of NCTC

In 1949, the Rural Electrification Agency ( now referred to as the Rural Utilities Service ) au thorized provision of low cost loans to assist in the organization and construction of rural telephone systems. The people in rural Ten nessee and Kentucky were largely without good, dependable telephone service because it was not possible for the large for-profit tele phone companies to provide that service in areas where the population was so sparse and the territory so rugged.

In March of 1951, North Central Telephone Cooperative, Inc. (NCTC) was organized and began the difficult and often arduous process of providing modern communications facil ities to the people of North Central Tennes see and South Central Kentucky. Through the dedication and hard work of many members and employees, NCTC has succeeded in its objective of providing its members with reli able telephone communication comparable to that provided in the cities of America.

Today, as in the past, NCTC is owned by the customers it serves. It is governed by a Board of Directors selected by the owner/members. Annual meetings are held each year, and members are encouraged to participate in the activities of the organization. Members are still sparsely distributed over a terrain where construction is difficult and ser vice a challenge. But the cooperative is de termined to continue the tradition of quality service to its constituents.

Objectives

To clarify its vision and to direct its efforts, the Managers and Directors of NCTC affirm these Objectives:

2. TO HAVE EMPLOYEES WHO ARE ALERT, COMPETENT, COURTEOUS TO AND CONSIDERATE OF OUR MEMBERS. In order to fulfill our mission, we must attract and hold onto the best people in the community and provide employees with a good place to work and an organization in which they can take pride. This means that we are concerned for the physical and spiritual well-being of all our employees. We are determined that their lives be given dignity and their jobs be given meaning. To accomplish this we will see that: • So far as possible, the work environment is comfortable and pleasant;

• Equipment is safe to operate; • Compensation is competitive; • People are trained and encouraged to advance;

1. TO PROVIDE TOP-QUALITY SERVICE TO THE MEMBERS AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE COST.

• Opportunities are provided by promoting from within, when possible; • Employees are fully informed about the goals of the cooperative and developments in the telephone industry; • Employees are listened to — their ideas are considered and their participation encouraged; • Recognition is given of each employee’s importance to the whole cooperative and to the community it serves.

Our members will not be asked to accept less than modern technolo gy can provide because they live in rural areas. We intend to provide the state-of-the-art in quality and in services. To accomplish this, we must have an organization that is financially secure. We must be efficient stewards of the revenues provided by our subscribers so the equipment can be continuously upgraded. We must have a management and Board of Directors that is forward-looking — able to predict with reliability the future needs of the members and able to adapt to change without losing control or losing sight of our objectives. We must have alert, well-trained personnel quick to respond to service outages. And we must stay in good communication with connecting companies and regulatory agencies.

Your signature may be required on necessary documents. INSTALLATION RATES

AUTOMATIC BANK DRAFT NCTC wants to make your life as easy and convenient as possible, and that is why Automatic Bank Draft is one of our most useful fea tures. Each month, your NCTC payment is automatically withdrawn from your bank account – so you never have to write a check. Plus, you will get a copy of your telephone bill from NCTC before your bank draft payment is withdrawn 10 days after the bill is rendered. Visit www.nctc.com for more details. Combine Automatic Bank Draft and E-bill and receive a $1 statement credit each month. BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS At NCTC, our aim is to render a service that will be satisfactory to our member-subscribers, although difficulties will sometimes occur despite our efforts to avoid them. Through the NCTC business offices, general instructions and information are provided for your convenience regarding placing long-distance calls, reporting telephones that are out of order and making emergency calls. All business transactions, including applications for new service, changes or additions to ex isting service, and discontinuance of service should be taken up with the NCTC business office either by telephone, personal visit or letter. TARIFFS

Installation rates will vary with the needs of your service. There are many steps involved in installing your service but not every customer needs every step. The amount of work needed to install service for you will depend on the type of facilities and service you want. DEPOSIT POLICY Customers may be asked to pay a deposit to establish service. The amount of your deposit is determined when you apply for service. BILL AND PAYMENT INFORMATION All telephone bills are rendered monthly and are due in full 15 days after the bill is rendered. Bills paid after 15 days of the due date are subject to a 10% late charge. These bills cover local service charges, as well as toll ( long-distance ) charges and any other charges. Bills may be paid by mail, phone, online, or in person at our business office in Lafayette, TN, or Westmoreland, TN, or in Scottsville, KY. A depository is located at each business office for the use of subscribers who wish to pay when the office is closed. And, you can use the drive-thru win dow at all locations. Bills can also be paid online at www.nctc.com and then click Pay Bill. ERROR ON YOUR BILL You should always review your bill carefully. If you have a charge you are not sure of or a question on your bill, call your local representative. Explain the possible error to the representative who will help you. If the error cannot be resolved, please pay the undisputed charge on time so you’ll maintain a good payment record while the problem is being investigated. Objections must be received by the Cooperative within thirty (30) days after the bill is rendered.

Tariffs, which are approved by the Regulatory Commission, show rates, rules and regulations for telephone service and facilities, and are available in our business offices for public inspection. SERVICE CHARGES/ FEES

Most changes in service require a service charge. The amount you are charged depends on the type of change requested. Con sult your sales representative for different services. ADVERTISING TELEPHONE NUMBERS

NCTC reserves the right to change the number of any subscriber. All telephone numbers are the property of NCTC. The rapid expansion of the telephone system sometimes requires the changing of these numbers. For this reason, stationery, signs, cards and other adver tising literature should not be printed in large quantities. Residential telephones are installed with the understanding that they will be used for normal social activities and not in connection with any business. Advertising a residential telephone number for business pur poses will be considered sufficient cause for the Cooperative to charge business rates.

The directories shall not be mutilated and shall be surrendered upon request or upon delivery of the subsequent issue. Additional Directories are available at any NCTC business office. DIRECTORY ERROR LISTINGS

Even though every effort is made to compile this directory accurately, errors sometimes occur. NCTC and the Directory Publishers assume no responsi bility or liability for damage aris ing from errors or omissions in publishing this directory. If your listing is incorrect or omitted from this directory, please con tact NCTC at (615) 666-2151 . We will correct our records to ensure that the error or omission does not occur again.

OBTAINING TELEPHONE SERVICE BY FRAUDULENT MEANS

The law provides that it shall be unlawful for any person to obtain or attempt to obtain telephone service by fraudulent means with the intent to avoid payment for lawful charges. This includes not only the obtaining of local service but the obtaining of long-distance service by fraudulent schemes, devices, means or methods, with intent to avoid payment. Any person or persons violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof will be punished by imprisonment for not more than one year, or by fine not exceeding $1,000, or by both, in the discretion of the court. RECORDING TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS A short “beep” tone heard over the telephone about every 15 seconds indicates that the person with whom you are speaking is recording your conversation by means of connecting an electronic recording machine to the line. The “beep” signal is produced automatically by a device which connects the recorder to the telephone line. Use of a recorder without this signal is unlawful. If you do not want a record made of what you are saying, ask the person with whom you are talking to disconnect the recording device. If disconnected, you will not hear the signal. HARASSING CALLS The law provides that it should be unlawful for any person or persons to communicate to another within this state by means of any telephonic conversation, any lewd, obscene or lascivious remarks, suggestions or proposals manifestly intended to embarrass, disturb or annoy the person to whom the said remarks, suggestions or proposals are made. The telephone company is concerned about obscene and harassing calls and is trying to help stop them. You don’t have to talk or listen to such calls – just hang up. If the call persists, call your Telephone Com pany Business Office. We have electronic equipment available to assist in determining offenders, which we will use if necessary, with the help of local law enforcement authorities. We also retain the right to disconnect or remove the phone service of anyone making such calls. We want you to know that we’re doing all we can to help you and your family.

WHAT IS KENTUCKY RELAY? Kentucky Relay is a public service that guarantees all citizens ac cess to prompt, professional and precise communication through a telephone. Consumers of these specialized services, specifically in dividuals who are deaf, Deafblind, hard of hearing or have difficulty speaking, can communicate on the telephone via TTY, Voice Carry Over (VCO), Hearing Carry Over (HCO), Speech-to-Speech (STS), Spanish-to-Spanish and Captioned Telephone. This helps ensure the ability to connect with family, friends or businesses with ease. HOW DOES KENTUCKY RELAY WORK? Simply dial 711 to connect with Kentucky Relay. A qualified Commu nication Assistant (CA) will ask for the area code and the number of the person you wish to call and begin the relay call. Generally, the CA will voice the typed message from the text telephone (TTY) user to you. The CA then relays your voiced message response by typing it to the TTY user. SPECIALIZED SERVICES: Kentucky Relay offers specialized services for individuals who have difficulty speaking and for Spanish-speaking residents. Specially trained CAs are on hand to assist in these types of calls by dialing the associated number provided. Since Kentucky Relay offers a variety of services, please refer to the website listed, or contact Kentucky Relay Customer Care for more detailed instruction on how a particular call is processed. CAPTIONED TELEPHONE: Captioned Telephone is ideal and available for individuals with hearing loss who are able to speak for themselves. A captioned telephone works like any other telephone with one essential difference: it allows users to listen to their phone conversations while reading captions of what’s said to them. ACCESS TO SERVICES: 711 provides toll-free relay calling. If you are experiencing trouble dial ing 711 while trying to reach Kentucky Relay, please contact Kentucky Relay Customer Care.

All TRS and English Captioned Telephone services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Spanish Captioned Telephone is available dai ly from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. EST or 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. CST. Con sumers may place relay calls to English-speaking and Spanish-speaking people within Kentucky, across the United States, and even internation ally. By law, each conversation is handled with strict confidentiality.

SPECIAL POINTS OF INTEREST: Equipment Distribution Program

The Kentucky Commission of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (KCDHH) Telecommunications Access Program (TAP) provides residents of Kentucky who are deaf, hard of hearing, have difficulty speaking or have both a hearing and vision loss, with landline or wireless equip ment to make communication on the telephone more accessible. For more information, visit www.kcdhh.ky.gov/oea/howapply.html or call 800-372-2907 (Voice) or 502-416-0607 (VP). Emergency Calls Please note that 711 can only be used to reach Kentucky Relay. In an EMERGENCY, you should continue to use 911. For emergencies, call 911 or your local emergency service TTY number directly and not relay. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that 911 cen ters have a TTY and be prepared to handle emergency calls placed in this manner. Kentucky Relay will make every effort to assist you in an emergency. However, it is important to understand that relay centers are not 911 centers and do not assume responsibility for emergency calls.

As part of the membership advantage of NCTC, all cooperative members can call within their own county toll-free. This program, which is part of a state-wide County-Wide Calling Program, allows many of our subscribers to make toll-free calls to areas within their county where they conduct a lot of business. However, you must still dial a “1” for calls within these counties which are outside of the NCTC service area. The change will be made on your bill – calls within your county will not be included on your telephone bill. C ÊçÄãù -W ®—› C ƒ½½®Ä¦ : A M ›Ã›Ù A —òƒÄユ›

In order for county-wide calling to function properly, NCTC is dependent on connecting carriers to participate in the county-wide file sharing pro cess of telephone numbers. NCTC makes every effort to provide coun ty-wide calling. However, contingent upon the cooperation of connection carriers, some telephone numbers may not be eligible for county-wide calling, making the calls long-distance, which will be charged as such.

Ten-Digit Dialing

All local calls in Tennessee and Kentucky must be made by dialing ten digits ( area code + 7-digit phone number ). The area code for NCTC’s TN Service area is 615 and 270 for the KY service area. Local calls are toll free. Long-distance calls must be dialed using eleven digits ( 1 + area code + 7-digit phone number ). Toll rates apply to long-distance calls.

For Assistance In Dialing

FOR NUMBERS WITHIN YOUR AREA CODE, DIAL: 1 + Your Area Code + 555-1212 FOR NUMBERS OUTSIDE YOUR AREA CODE, DIAL: 1 + Area Code + 555-1212

If at any time you need the service of an opera tor to place or complete a call, dial “0” Operator. When the operator answers, explain the situa tion to her and she will be glad to assist you. To get a phone number ( local or long-distance ), dial 1-411. NCTCcustomers can call 411 three times each billing cycle at no charge. All other 411 calls will be charged. • The charge applies whether or not the Di rectory Assistance Bureau furnished the requested number – such as in the case of non-published numbers. • Subscribers who are unable to use a direc tory because of a visual or physical hand icap may apply to their local telephone company to obtain a special waiver from these directory charges.

You can get the telephone numbers of those businesses and people who have “800” num bers by dialing: 1 + 800 + 555-1212
