TESTIMONALS

It’s been an honor to serve on the Board of an organization such as the BMMA that provides more value, industry expertise and networking opportunity than any other partnership of which I’ve had the pleasure of being involved. I highly recommend anyone in the telecommunications Broadband space to consider joining this top-notch organization.

The reason why altafiber joined the BMMA revolves around two themes; these are networking and collaboration. When individuals can speak to telco’s and partners ranging in size and covering the United States geographically including Canada is valuable, budget friendly, and priceless in the grand scheme of things. Relationships are created and can be utilized to help drive your business.
