Looks like another "self-help" group.  they help themselves to donations and call themselves a non-profit.  the one thing that would help a rural community is a WISP and they don't have that topic on their website

They also used to negotiate with content providers to allow members to deploy CATV.  I still have an account with them but there is no money in it.

    I was reading my old home town news and heard about a presentation
    being given to a local economic group by Shirley Bloomfield, the
    CEO of "NTCA - The Rural Broadband Association". They say they've
    been around since 1969, so I assume that the T in NTCA stands for
    telecom, but nothing on their web site actually spells out what
    NTCA actually represents.

    What I'm wondering is why I've never heard of them before?
