GVTC Communications, which serves the Hill Country and south-central Texas, is the first broadband service provider (BSP) to become a mobile operator through Reach Mobile’s new Main Street Mobile program.
GVTC said the program provides participating BSPs with a mobile service branded under the provider’s name and is charged to customers on their normal bill. The program requires no upfront costs. The GVTC press release said that technical onboarding took only days.
The Main Street Mobile program is aimed at independent BSPs serving 50,000 or fewer households. Reach says it will donate $5,000 to a local community cause — such as a fire station, school, foodbank, library, or youth program — if a participating company reaches 1,000 subscribers by the end of the first year of service.
The “central thesis” of the campaign is that the entities best situated to succeed as a mobile operator are those that “already own the customer relationship. Reach’s Main Street Mobile webpage suggests that mobile households generate $90 per month.
“GVTC is exactly who we built the Main Street Mobile campaign for,” said Reach Platform Founder and CEO Harjot Saluja, in the press release.
“A fiber operator that’s been serving its communities for decades, with a foundation that’s been giving back since 2006, and a team that knows every neighborhood on its network. When Josh and the GVTC team chose to launch with us, it confirmed what we’d been hearing from independent ISPs across the country: this model fits. We’re proud GVTC is the first partner. We expect they won’t be the last.”
GVTC provides fiber, television, phone and security products. It was founded in 1951.
About a year before the new mobile offering, in April 2025, GVTC launched its MultiGig Fiber internet service. It offers 2 Gbps and 5 Gbps symmetrical speeds tiers, with price-lock in. MultiGig does not require a contract.
