I do know that one GM at a telco cooperative was making $180,000 per year(supposedly close to the the highest if not the highest paid GM of a rural telco cooperative, just because he was elected NCTA's incoming president. < http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-144567858.html >. This came directly from inside sources and my ability as a cooperative member to ask for such records, which they turned over to me, yet reluctantly. He then retired within two years. Anyways, I compete against his former company day to day.
