Houston, TX – (AP News) – August 15, 2022 – With a mission to provide accessible quality gigFAST(TM) broadband to rural America, RTA is committed to help:
Bridge the Digital Divide between urban and rural America. Build economic and social prosperity in the rural areas. Promote the “rural America is open for business” initiative. This blueprint stems from the founders’ belief that internet access is a crucial ingredient for rural area development.
Thankfully, we have RTA’s Leadership Team to channel the appropriate resources and achieve these goals. Their team is always on hand to lead the commitment to support America’s rural communities.
RTA’s founders and leadership team understand the role internet plays in modern life in regards to communication, education, health, information services, work, and play. However, the challenge rural America faces is the rural/urban digital divide with insufficient internet facilities that severely restrict rural communities from today’s modern business development and quality of life.
RTA’s leadership team understands this and recognizes our rural areas, populations and businesses are the backbone of America. This is why they are 100% devoted to delivering reliable gigFAST INTERNET(TM) to our rural neighborhoods.
Moreover, RTAs leaders share their pledge to provide the best possible affordable modern internet plans, which encompass:
Unlimited data plans. No hidden fees. No long-term contracts. Here at Rural Telecommunications America, we demand modern affordable internet services. Hence, we have the best hands to lead us to achieve internet access support for America’s rural communities.
Here are the leaders at RTA and what makes them fit and capable individuals to lead their mission:

As a Co-Founder and the Chief Executive Officer of Rural Telecommunications of America (RTA), he is well poised to deliver on this mission. His LinkedIn bio reads, “Giving rural America all the advantages of urban Broadband speeds and services.” it is just another testament to Jim Edwards’s commitment to RTA’s mission statement.

In his own words: “Since the beginning of my career, when data networking and the internet was at its infancy, I have been fortunate to be in positions where I disrupted industries such as Data Networking and Telecommunications through innovating thinking, passionate determination, and many first of a kind technology.” Such is the life of this visionary who now shares the vision of RTA.
Donald Workman co-founded Zvolve Systems at the beginning of the millennium and introduced Conscious(TM), the world’s first real-time data traffic engineering solution for telecommunication firms.
After that, Workman spent over a decade at IBM in different management and executive roles revamping and performing digital transformations of Telecommunication companies’ strategies and service offerings globally.
