Carlson, the company's founder, spearheaded the acquisition of Central State Telephone Company, the first of 10 small, rural-Wisconsin telephone companies to make up TDS. The company was founded in 1969, and since then, aggressive marketing, strategic acquisition, economies of scale, a visionary eye for technological improvement and unfailing customer service have helped grow TDS into the powerful and profitable family of companies TDS is today.
