Nemont To Sell North Dakota Properties
Nemont Telephone Cooperative, Inc. and Northwest Communications Cooperative have announced the sale of Nemont’s North Dakota telecom properties to NCC. Nemont’s customers in Williston, Trenton, Fortuna, Ambrose and East Westby will now be served by North Dakota-based NCC, a 100 percent fiber-to-the-home internet service and communications provider.
Nemont and NCC share the same values and vision in providing the best technology and customer service. For decades, Nemont and NCC leadership have worked together on communication issues affecting rural America and share some technology resources. The sale provides these North Dakota-based customers with services from a North Dakota-based cooperative with operations much closer to their homes and businesses.
“In today’s ever-changing broadband industry, the benefits of being hyper-local are clear. NCC is an excellent company and shares our core goals,” said Nemont CEO Mike Kilgore.
“As an industry partner with Nemont, we are honored to continue their vision to provide the best internet and voice services available today. Together, we are working on a plan to transition these customers to the NCC network. With our proximity to these North Dakota-based homes and businesses, both cooperatives believe this is a great fit for these customers,” NCC CEO Jeremy Becker said.
Once the purchase is finalized and approved by the state and Federal Communications Commission, NCC will be reaching out to each customer to share information on transition of services and answer any questions.
Both Nemont and NCC are committed to making the transition as seamless as possible. This decision was made by both cooperatives with customers’ best interest in mind.
Nemont is a telecommunications service provider serving northeastern Montana, south central Montana, and northern Wyoming. Nemont was organized in 1950 and is headquartered in Scobey.
NCC was formed in 1951 and brings reliable telecommunication services to the homes and businesses in 17 exchanges in northwest North Dakota with headquarters in Ray, N.D.
