Midcontinent Communications plans to begin expansion to Dickinson, SD, this year, pending regulatory approval. Midcontinent already provides network services in Dickinson through statewide contracts. This expansion is intended to bring additional service options to local residents and businesses. Upgraded services should be available in Belfield, South Heart and areas of Dickinson this fall. The rest of Dickinson is scheduled to be integrated throughout 2014 and additional serviceable areas as early as June 2014, with completion in the fall.
