History of our Telephone Cooperative

Keeping communities connected

For more than 50 years, South Slope has served local eastern Iowa communities as a telephone cooperative with the goal to keep rural Iowa connected. Cooperatives are successful because they provide non-profit services to their communities that may not be readily available otherwise. We are committed to providing the best telecommunications service available at the lowest price possible. The beginnings of the modern cooperative movement can be traced back more than 150 years.

The principals of the cooperative philosophy are:

• Open membership - Anyone who can use a cooperative’s services and is willing to accept the responsibilities can join.
• One member, one vote- Power is shared equally among all members, rather than concentrated in the hands of a few. Members elect a Board of Directors and, when necessary, vote on specific issues.
• Limited return on investment- The purpose of a cooperative is to provide a service to its members, not to make a profit.
• Surplus is returned to the members - Margins above and beyond the cost required to cover operating expenses are returned to members in proportion to their patronage.
