TDS Telecommunications LLC (TDS Telecom), a wholly owned subsidiary of Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. (NYSE: TDS), has completed the purchase of Granite State Communications’ fiber optic and voice operations. The transaction brings together two longtime telecommunications providers in New Hampshire and ensures the continuation of high-quality service for customers.
The acquisition expands TDS’ New Hampshire footprint by more than 11,000 fiber service addresses adjacent to its existing service area. TDS first announced the purchase agreement with Granite State Communications in April, pending regulatory approvals, which have now been received.
Granite State customers will not see any immediate change in services, and no action is required on their part. In the future, residents will see the TDS name and logo on bills, company vehicles, and other items. More information will be forthcoming as the transition proceeds in the coming weeks and months.
