Corporate History
Formed in the 1920's, Dobson Communications originally operated a small wireline telephone network in Oklahoma. In 70 years, Dobson has evolved to become the nation's largest independent rural wireless provider. Dobson's current operations in 60 markets were acquired through several purchases within the last 10 years.
Network Dobson is, for the most part, a rural provider. It claims to be the largest provider of cellular services in Alaska as well as in Michigan. It is also the exclusive provider of GSM technology in many of its markets and has a few resllers such as TracPhone and smaller MVNOs in particular states. It also provides voice and data roaming capability for many AT&T and T-Mobile customers. Dobson has recently upgraded a majority of its GSM/GPRS towers with an EDGE overlay, providing an even faster data rate for their customers.
