Foundation

Fort Mojave Telecommunications was founded in 1988

We had to set our own destiny for this connectivity and how it would be accomplished. We wanted to provide broadband, as it would keep us competitive and bring many benefits to the community. Yet we also wanted to leverage the knowledge of an expert partner who had done this before. Our partnership enabled us to have the best of both worlds—bringing years of experience from a non-tribal entity to our majority-owned business model.​
