Although subscribers of the Interstate/Valley Telephone Company system live in a rural area, the company has always provided them with all the amenities that science and technology offer, quite often surpassing those available in much larger metropolitan areas. For example, J. Smith Lanier was the first independent telephone operator to connect his exchange to AT&T's network for long distance calling. Later, Interstate/Valley Telephone Company became the first company to integrate voice messaging into its product offering.
In the early 1980's, the Lanier family embarked on a new venture which began a new era in entrepreneurship. Fourth-generation family leader, Campbell B. Lanier III, joined by family and college friend William H. Scott III, led the formation of an affiliate entity, Interstate Communications, Inc., which competed with AT&T in the Long Distance industry. This new company, through a series of mergers and acquisitions (doing business along the way as Touch & Save, SouthernNet and Telecom*USA) became the nation's fourth largest long distance carrier and ultimately was sold to MCI in 1990. After the MCI acquisition, Cam Lanier, Bill Scott and other managers formerly associated with Telecom*USA set out to build telecom companies under the ITC Holding Company banner, most of which were headquartered in West Point, Georgia. These companies included, among others, ITC^Deltacom, Knology, InterCall and Powertel. ITC was also the initial funding source and largest shareholder of Mindspring Enterprises.
