October 15, 2015 (Blair, Neb.) – Great Plains Communications, the largest privately owned Nebraska telecommunications company with the largest fiber network in the state has announced their fifth network expansion for 2015, a unique route between the Nebraska market and the carrier hotel at 1102 Grand in Kansas City.

“Great Plains Communications continues to focus on extending our network throughout the Midwest and beyond,” said Lynn Mead, Head of Carrier and Wholesale Services. “Kansas City made perfect sense for our next expansion.

Initial 100G is in process to be completed by the end of 2015.
