      OTT Communications - A proud past. A bright future.
      OTT Communications is a division of Otelco Inc., based in Alabama. Otelco provides affordable, reliable and integrated telecommunication services to homes, businesses, and industries in Alabama, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire and West Virginia. Otelco was formed in Delaware in 1998 for the purpose of operating and acquiring rural local exchange carriers, or RLECs. Since 1999, Otelco has acquired ten RLEC businesses throughout their various locations. Otelco provides competitive services through several subsidiaries in these territories. In addition, Otelco acquired two facilities based competitive local exchange carriers, or CLECs, which provide services through the state of Maine. The RLEC companies Otelco acquired date all the way back to the introduction of telecommunications services in the US. Otelco is able to leverage their long-standing relationship with their local service customers by offering them an extensive variety of telecommunications and information services, such as long distance, Internet/data access and, in some areas, cable or satellite television, allowing Otelco to be a "one stop shop" thereby providing customers with the ability to bundle their services and increasing customer loyalty. In Maine, Otelco's facilities based CLECs serve primarily business customers throughout the state, utilizing their 231 mile fiber backbone network. In ten years of operations, the CLECs have grown to provide more than 29,000 voice and data access lines.

      Otelco in Maine: Growth and Innovation
      Otelco first entered Maine in 2006, when they acquired Mid-Maine Communications. Mid-Maine Communications came into being in 1994 to serve 26 communities in the greater Bangor area.

      In 1997, this firm became an Internet provider in addition to providing telecommunication services like long distance. Mid-Maine Communications has over 172 miles of buried fiber optics cable that now serves many areas across Maine.

      Since 2000, Mid-Maine Communications has become a major competitor in business telephone services. Mid-Maine was also the first company to in Bangor and Portland to introduce DSL (Dedicated Subscriber Lines).

      In the spring of 2001, Mid-Maine introduced toll-free 500 number Internet service, making Internet service available state-wide. For the next few years, they continued to invest in new technologies, while widening their customer base.

      Otelco then acquired the most historical company of their repertoire, Country Road, which included Pine Tree Networks. Pine Tree Networks has been a household brand name synonymous with Telegraph and Telephone in Maine for 115 years.

      Since becoming part of Country Road Communications in 2000, Pine Tree Networks has grown into multi-faceted provider of state-of-the-art communications technology in Maine, Massachusetts and West Virginia. The network spans across three service centers in these states, with headquarters in New Gloucester, Maine.

      Mid-Maine Communications and Pine Tree networks have a long track record of listening to their customers, investing in top-notch technology, and delivering it all with a decidedly human touch.

      These two strong firms are unique, and are a perfect marriage now called OTT Communications. They share the values of delivering the best communications available with a local touch, great customer service and a genuine commitment to the communities they serve.

Since that time the use of secure pads has been legislated by California, Florida, Texas, New Jersey, Maine and other states. We offer specialized formats for these states as well as others. RX Security is also a leading provider of secure prescription forms in Canada. Our standard secure prescription pads meet and in most cases exceed recommended safeguards for Schedule II and III drugs in the U.S. Throughout North America, secure prescription forms are increasingly recognized as a cost effective method of drug forgery reduction. Each of our prescription pads include the following safeguards:

        • Copy resistant background.
        • "Void" appears when photocopied.
        • Each order has an individual numeric identifier.
        • Tamper resistant ink and paper shows attempt to alter script.
        • Security features box on reverse details security features.
        • Thermochromic RX disappears when rubbed or heated.
        • Artificial watermark appears on back when held at a 45 degree angle
