Local Exchange



The cities of Breezy Point, Nisswa, and Pequot Lakes as well as Ideal Township were given notice of the intent for Charter Communication to provide local exchange services.  This is otherwise known as telephone service. 

With Charter having Cable television and Internet service the step to phones is not that difficult, the service lines are already in place and the service would provide Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP).  With this addition the cities would see options and competition for residents who use these services from two providers.  

The Breezy Point City Council has gone on record to support a new option for these services in our community.
