RVTC sees big results from a small investment

“We have had great results with on-bill ads!”

This is how Shawn Schany, Sales Associate for River Valley Telecommunications Coop (RVTC), describes the company’s experience with MACC’s on-bill ads.

And they are always rewarded with a flashing screen that says “ACCESS GRANTED!” While real life hacking isn’t nearly this easy or glorious, these are real threats to cyber security nonetheless.

One of the many ways to protect yourself from cloaked antagonists wearing Guy Fawkes masks is to have a good backup system and here is some of what MACC has to offer!
