The Company

CTC is an established 30-year-old, woman-owned consulting firm that’s in the midst of experiencing massive growth as clients large and small seek our help to guide them through this seminal moment in the history of broadband deployment where Congress has appropriated tens of billions of dollars to deploy broadband and connect low-income households to the modern economy.

CTC delivers best-in-class business and engineering consulting services to state and local governments, federal government agencies, and nonprofit partners. We help research, design, implement, and manage the most innovative broadband policies and programs in the country. Our approach is mission-driven as we’re true believers in the power of broadband and technology to transform communities and improve lives. We’re not just here to stack up billable hours; rather, we do this work because we know that the more connected our nation is the stronger it is. And the more connected people are the more opportunities they’ll have to better their lives. That’s why we’re always willing to go the extra mile for our clients – because our job is to help them fulfill their mission.

This attitude has been the lynchpin of CTC’s success. We have grown over the years into one of the most respected voices in broadband policies, engineering, and advocacy. We never compromise on the quality of the services we deliver, and we always work to do the right thing. As a result, state broadband offices and local governments across the country entrust us with their mission critical work.
