ABOUT READITECH ReadiTech is committed to bringing state-of-the-art technology services and solutions to you. A lot has changed in telecommunications since DRN, our parent company, started as a telephone cooperative providing service to rural North Dakota in 1950. Today, DRN’s cooperative network serves 32 communities and its infrastructure is 100% fiber-optic providing Gigabit speed Internet and other vital connections. For 70 years, DRN has been working hard to provide the latest state-of-the-art communications services. l DRN invested more than $90 million to complete one of the first 100% fiber-to-the-home projects in the nation. The fiber project was completed in 2012 and provides our cooperative members with high-quality and high-speed telecommunications services.
To help assist our clients with technology solutions, ReadiTech was formed in 2011. As the use of technology became more common with personal computers, networks and devices, DRN stepped up to meet the growing need for knowledgeable and friendly IT assistance and formed the subsidiary ReadiTech in 2011. ReadiTech is committed to bringing state-of-the-art technology services to its clients.

ANNUAL CUSTOMER DO-NOT-CALL NOTIFICATION To address consumer concerns about unwelcome telemarketing calls, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have established a national Do-Not-Call Registry. The registry applies to all telemarketers (with the exception of certain non-profit and political organizations) and covers both interstate and intrastate telemarketing calls. Commercial telemarketers are not allowed to call you if your number is listed on the registry. You can register your phone number for free, and it will remain on the national Do-Not-Call Registry. You may remove your name from the list at any time. The Do-Not-Call Registry will not prevent all unwanted calls. It does not cover the following: • Calls from organizations with which you have established a business relationship; • Call for which you have given prior written consent; • Calls which are not commercial or do not include unsolicited advertisements; • Calls by or on behalf of tax-exempt non-profit organizations. Consumers may register their residential telephone number, including wireless numbers, on the national Do-Not-Call Registry at no cost, by telephone or on the Internet. To register by telephone, consumers may call 1-888-382-1222. For TTY call 1-866-290-4236. You must call from the phone number you wish to register. You may also register online at www.donotcall.gov. Inclusion of your telephone number on the national Do-Not-Call Registry will be effective the next day. Telemarketers have up to 31 days to get your phone number and remove it from their call lists.
DO-NOT-CALL SOLICITOR NOTIFICATION As a part of the Do-Not-Call initiative, the FCC requires us to notify customers who use our service for making telephone solicitations regarding the national Do-Not-Call rules and regulations. We recognize that a few of our customers use our services for telemarketing; however, because we do not have records indicating which customers may do telemarketing, we are contacting all business customers. If you are a company, individual, or other entity that makes telemarketing calls, it is very important that you familiarize yourself with the operations of the national Do-Not-Call Registry and the rules requiring checking of the national Do-Not-Call Registry as part of making telemarketing calls. Unless you fall under one of the exceptions established in the FCC/FTC rules, you may not make telemarketing calls to numbers included in the national Do-Not-Call Registry. Before you rely on one of the exceptions, you should consult the rules. For information about the regulations, you may visit the national Do-Not-Call Registry at www.ftc.gov/donotcall. You can find the FCC and FTC rules at 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200 and 16 C.F.R. Part 310.
