OKLAHOMA CITY-Dobson Communications Corp. completed its $125 million acquisition of Texas 9 Rural Service Area encompassing the towns of Brownwood, Stephenville, Hamilton and Hillsboro, Texas.
“Texas 9 fits well with our existing Texas 10 and Texas 16 cluster,” noted Ed Evans, president of Dobson Communications. “Texas 9 is near major metropolitan areas, has a high concentration of expressway corridors and is surrounded by strategic roaming partners who we have long-term roaming contracts with. We expect to install [Time Division Multiple Access] digital technology during the second quarter and plan on adding additional cell sites throughout the year to enhance the service and improve coverage.”
