From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Allegiance Communications is an American provider of cable TV, broadband Internet, and VOIP telephony services to rural and mid-size markets in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. Allegiance Communications corporate headquarters are located in Shawnee, Oklahoma, with a basic subscriber base of more than 70,000 customers.[1]
[edit] History
Beginning in 2004 as a unit of The Wicks Group, Allegiance acquired small cable systems and subscribers in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. The company bought a large system with 29,000 subscribers from Charter Communications in 2006.[1][2] Upon purchase the headquarters became Shawnee, Oklahoma, containing one of the larger subscriber densities for Allegiance. Local services include cable TV, HD channel services, pay-per-view, high speed internet, and VOIP services. Allegiance also utilizes point to point wireless for enhanced penetration to rural areas with lower subscriber density. Ice storms causing widespread damage to both cable and electrical plants in Oklahoma caused issues in December of 2007, inducing outages statewide that were handled quickly by support staff and maintenance crews working around the clock, including some out of state sources.
