From a healthcare provider's viewpoint, bacterial meningitis is extremely difficult to detect and diagnose because the early symptoms, like a headache or fever, are not unique to this disease and thus there are no definite symptoms that say, 'this person is the one with meningitis.' That person can then be dead within 12 hours.

Anne Nichols

Adam Dener

It was a setback for competition against cable and for consumers who want a choice of video providers.

Kerry Hibbs

DSL providers are doing a better job of determining whether you can get DSL at your house and then getting your line hooked up if you qualify, ...

Matthew Davis

We are currently in discussions with all cable and satellite providers in our footprint.

Frank D'amelio

Terry Hammond

We're bound by confidentiality as providers. We can lose our license if we don't handle things confidentially.

Ed Gracyzk
