Dear WindomNet Subscribers, First and foremost, thank you. Your support in the successful passage of the first reading of the ordinance means a great deal to all of us here at Federated. Your engagement, trust, and willingness to move this process forward demonstrate a shared commitment to strengthening communications services in the community. As we approach the second reading on March 3rd, we respectfully ask you to reaffirm your support. This next step is important in allowing us to continue building toward a stronger and locally focused telecommunications future. Federated is a not- for-profit cooperative; our work day in and day out is rooted in improving the lives of those that we serve. We take this responsibility seriously. Our goal is not simply to provide internet, TV, and phone services - it is to exceed your expectations in every aspect of those services. We are fully committed to a smooth and seamless transition. From day one, our focus will be on reliability, responsiveness, and clear communication. Outstanding customer service is a cornerstone of our business model. We believe that being local means being accessible, accountable, and invested in the people we serve. When you have a question, concern, or need, we will be there. We want you to realize this firsthand. This effort is part of something even larger. It represents the continuation of a regional plan to bring fiber to every home and business-urban or rural - who wishes to receive it. Our goal is simple but powerful: to enhance the lives of all Cottonwood County homes and businesses through world-class connectivity. Our mission and vision statements commit us to this work willingly and enthusiastically. We believe every subscriber matters. You are important to us, and we will treat you like an owner - because in many ways, you are. Your voice matters, and we do listen. The cooperative business model focuses on fluid development of short- and long-range work planning. These processes are part of our electric operations as well as our broadband operations with emphasis on providing the best products available at an affordable cost. We have several projects already in the queue for our regional buildout as well as system upgrades where needed. We are not standing still. Technology evolves quickly, and we are committed to keeping pace in ways that position our entire community for long-term success. To help guide this effort, we rely on a very capable group of forward thinkers and industry experts who serve as our sounding board. They help us keep expectations in check, ensure we are doing the right things, and just as importantly, doing things right. Their expertise helps us stay aligned with industry best practices while pursuing innovation in a financially responsible way that keeps our rates low and competitive. Our governing body has made a clear commitment: to provide the most reliable, affordable, safe, and resilient service available. That commitment guides every decision we make. We understand that telecommunications services are essential to your home, your business, your education, and your daily life-and we treat that responsibility with great care. We want to be your trusted local partner. We encourage you to stay engaged, trust the process, and continue lending your support as we move toward the second reading on March 3rd. We will not let you down. Federated Thank you again for your confidence and your continued support. ederated Sincerely, Broadband The Federated Broadband Family Dear WindomNet Subscribers , First and foremost , thank you .
