		| During 2016, TDS, the telephone company tha tpurchased the old Union Telephone Company,will roll out TDS TV,which will compete with
 Metrocast as a provider of full service phone, in-ternet, and cable service.TDS has been stringing fiber optic cable in Al-ton during 2015 and ex-pects to have that cable
 in reach of 95 percent ofAlton residents within afew months.Fiber optic cable will
 be strung for the remain-ing five percent of resi-dents when and if they
 choose to purchase the service. These residenc-es are dispersed from
 centers of population and are not economicalto build out until custom
 -ers actually purchase the service
