Regent gained a moment of national notoriety when The Wall Street Journal published an article about a dispute among its telephone service providers. Consolidated Telephone Cooperative was the sole provider, but Western Wireless Corp. moved into town, providing service by cellular connection and thus saving the costs of installing wires. Angered by the loss of its customers, Consolidated refused to connect calls to and from Western's central switch, effectively disconnecting all of Western's customers in town. Western complained to regulatory authorities, and Consolidated agreed to connect the disconnected customers. The Journal noted that issues of possible monopoly, alleged illegal anticompetitive practices, and the preservation of established rural carriers (and their subsidies) in the face of competition from new rivals were potentially at stake.
