Dave Payne, Helena National Forest, about work performed by AmeriCorps members " The pawn shop program has resulted in enhanced communication with other Montana police agencies. On several occasions we have been able to recover property for other Montana law enforcement agencies because of the work of our volunteers in the pawn shop program. Without them and our partnership with the Volunteer Montana AmeriCorps program, this would not be possible." Lt.

The Association represents its members before the Montana Public Service Commission, other state and federal agencies, Congress and the Montana Legislature. MTA hosts an Annual Convention (July 23-25, 2003, Missoula, MT), an Associate Member Showcase (December 3-4, 2003, Billings, MT) and a wide variety of communications, education and other training services. About Montana's Rural Telcos Montana's independent rural telephone companies provide service covering over 80 percent of the state's geography, or nearly 120,000 square miles, and about 30% of Montana's telecommunications service consumers. The combination of tremendous areas served and low population density means that the average rural Montana telephone company serves fewer than 2.8 access lines per mile of line. (Montana's cooperatives serve fewer than 1.6 access lines per mile.) Montanans enjoy some of the most advanced telecommunications services in the nation. Montana's rural independent telephone companies invested over $70 million in network infrastructure in 1998 alone. This infrastructure, which includes nearly 5,000 miles of fiber plant and over 90 full-motion video conference sites across the state, provides Montana's consumers with state-of-the-art digital telephony, cable, video, wireless, Internet and other telecommunications products and services.
