History
[edit]The company was founded in 1995 by Bill Pope and Jay Walters.
The company has been an advocate for the industry in the United States and has objected to reducing phone rates proposed by the Federal Communications Commission.[2][3]
In September 2023, NCIC merged with Telespan Communications, Inc. to broaden services, especially in the Midwestern United States. The merged company continued to operate under the NCIC brand.[4]
