LUBBOCK, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)– NTS, Inc. (NYSE MKT/TASE: NTS) (“NTS” or “the Company”) announces that it has connected its first fiber customer in Hammond, Louisiana, marking the Company’s expansion of its fiber-to-the-premise Network (“FTTP”) into that state.

The NTS fiber build out has previously been focused on secondary markets in Texas, where the Company currently provides its fiber offerings to 15 towns, including a metro build focused on the business community in Wichita Falls.
