Millry Telephone Co Inc.

Millry Telephone Co Inc., doing business as Millry Communications, is a corporate entity that provides telecommunications services in Alabama. It has been registered in SAM.gov since 2002 to receive federal contract and grant awards from the U.S. government as a for-profit organization.

Millry Communications has received several major federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service to fund broadband internet access and telemedicine projects in rural Alabama communities. In March 2023, the company was awarded a $2.2 million Project Grant to help cover cost overruns for expanding broadband and distance learning/telemedicine services under the USDA's Distance Learning and Telemedicine Loans and Grants program. Previously, in September 2020, Millry Communications received an $8.4 million Project Grant for a pilot broadband initiative funded through the Rural Business-Cooperative Service's Rural Economic Development Grant program. Even earlier, in November 2019, the company secured a $14.1 million Project Grant under another USDA Distance Learning and Telemedicine program to implement a broadband loan-grant combination project. These substantial federal grants have enabled Millry Communications to deploy telecommunications networks and advanced technologies to deliver broadband internet access, distance education, and telemedicine capabilities across underserved rural regions of Alabama.
