Rural Partnerships

Plus Ten builds rural markets (less than 100,000 population) primarily by partnering with local investors. The local partner pays for the equipment in the system, Plus Ten does the engineering, design and physical construction of the sites and network, and operates and maintains the system at cost. The partner is responsible for local marketing and sales, or one of Plus Ten's affiliates can handle this. Net profits are then split between the local partner and Plus Ten.
