ComSouth officers, directors, employees, friends, and elected officials celebrated ComSouth's 100 years of service to Middle Georgia onNovember 30^th at the Georgia National Fairground in Perry, Georgia. Mansfield Jennings, Chairman of the Board of ComSouth, accepted a proclamation from Georgia Governor Nathan Deal, read by ComSouth President and Chief Executive Officer Robert W. Krueger, congratulating ComSouth and the Jennings' family on their 100 year anniversary. Jennings said, "ComSouth has come a long way since my grandfather William Abner (W. A.) Jennings founded Hawkinsville Telephone Company in 1913, and I could not be more proud that the company has remained in our family."

Krueger said he imagines that W. A. Jennings would be amazed how far the company has come. When W. A. Jennings founded Hawkinsville Telephone Company, the predecessor of ComSouth Corporation, and began his foray into the new technology of telephony, he had a simple goal: to provide a quality service which allowed people to communicate more easily with one another. The concepts of fiber optic connectivity, high-speed internet, wireless telephones, smart phones, megabit and gigabit data speeds, television, and DVRs were not conceivable back then. There was only one product and the company served only a few hundred customers. However, Krueger feels there are aspects of ComSouth today that W. A. Jennings would recognize in spite of the technology advances. Today's ComSouth still focuses on customer satisfaction as well as quality service.

Today ComSouth provides advanced digital voice, data and telemonitoring services, as well as wireless telecommunications and cable television. There are over 14,000 customers of ComSouth inHawkinsville, Cochran, Perry, Southern Warner Robins, Fort Valley, Marshallville, Pinehurst andUnadilla.
