Schurz Communications Launches Schurz Broadband Group

Schurz Communications formed Schurz Broadband Group (SBG), a new division designed to unify and amplify the strengths of regional fiber-based internet providers under one mission-driven broadband organization. SBG will advance innovation, fiber expansion, and digital access while maintaining the local leadership, brand identity, and customer trust that define each of its operating companies. SBG supports all of Schurz’s regional broadband companies: Antietam Broadband in Maryland, Burlington Telecom in Vermont, Hiawatha Broadband in Minnesota, Long Lines Broadband in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota, NKTelco in Ohio, and Orbitel Communications in Arizona. Each provider will continue to operate independently and locally under its own brand name, preserving deep roots in the communities they serve, while gaining access to shared strategic resources and technology leadership through SBG. Diego Anderson will serve as SBG’s President, overseeing the division’s vision, strategy, integration, and overall performance. Jim Kronenbusch will be Chief Technology Officer, leading technology, product innovation, OSS/BSS digital strategy infrastructure development, and network scalability across the group. And Sheryl S. Rosen has been named Chief Marketing Officer, responsible for marketing, brand strategy, retention, product marketing, lead generation, and go-to-market strategy alignment across locations.
