The Foundation for Rural Service
![title alt](images/stories/FRS_images/rural_VOIP.jpg)
Established in 1994 by the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association (NTCA), the Foundation for Rural Service (FRS) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to promote, educate, and seek to advance an understanding of rural telecommunications issues in order to sustain and enhance the quality of life throughout rural America. FRS educates the public on the benefits of a nationwide telecommunications network, and promotes rural connectivity as an essential link in this network. FRS believes that rural communities - regardless of their size or location - deserve the same connection to the world as do residents of larger, urban environments.
To carry out its educational and advancement mission, FRS develops and disseminates information about rural telecom issues and encourages support of community based telecom providers and the communities they serve.
