News February 14, In addition, the company had acquired two small cable television concerns. During the time that Mid-Continent was growing rapidly, another telephone company in the Midwest was also building a network of holdings. In , they purchased the Grant County Telephone Company, which operated a toll line that ran from Sheridan to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, connecting magneto telephones.
During the next 30 years a steady stream of acquisitions helped Allied expand to serve customers in six states. Both Allied and Mid-Continent had entered unregulated areas of the telecommunications industry, and their activities fit well together.
Given these factors, the companies decided to join forces. Ford, became the company's president. This opened up a broad spectrum of new opportunities and services, both regulated and unregulated, to companies in the telephone industry. In some ways, the transformation of the industry provided a more challenging business environment. Telephone companies now faced competition in areas where they never had before.
For instance, the sale of telephone equipment and the sale of long distance service were now businesses hotly contested by a number of entrants in the field. In order to remain profitable and grow in the face of this encroachment into the company's traditional fields of operation, ALLTEL's leaders determined that the company must diversify its operations in the telecommunications field. The company started out with some assets to build on. With the greater financial strength that it commanded after its merger, the company planned to increase its holdings in non-regulated areas of the telephone industry, taking advantage of technological breakthroughs to offer services such as mobile phones based on cellular radio.
The company looked to diversify its operations through acquisitions. In making purchases, ALLTEL sought out properties in fields and geographical areas that the company already knew well--areas where it was confident that it could provide sound management and high-quality service. In the months following the company's creation, ALLTEL continued to make acquisitions in its traditional field of operation, buying three West Virginia local telephone companies to add to the service area of its subsidiary Mountain State Telephone Company.
In , the company bought three Pennsylvania telephone networks and merged them into its Brookville Telephone Company. ALLTEL thereby fostered growth in its local telephone operations, which are subject to regulation and are the unglamorous mainstay of its business. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, this company acted as a distributor of telecommunications equipment across the country, dispensing the products of more than manufacturers.
This company coordinated the sales, advertising, printing, and distribution of local telephone directories in nearly 20 states. Within three years of its founding, ALLTEL had also made major investments in several parts of the telecommunications industry with emerging technologies and fast-growth potential.
