2010 Small Telecommunications Compensation & Benefits Survey Order Form (pdf)

Each year a Small Telecommunications Compensation & Benefits Survey is sponsored by the Foundation for Rural Education and Development (FRED) and the Organization for Promotion and Advancement of Small Telecommunications Companies (OPASTCO). The lead researcher is Dr. Robert Mathis of the University of Nebraska at Omaha. The 2010 Survey will include information on more than 72 jobs as well as a number of benefits areas. Companies returning survey questionnaires pay less for the survey reports than do firms which do not participate. All responses from the questionnaires are treated in a confidential manner. Survey Reports will be mailed in mid to late June to participating companies ordering them. Order forms for those not participating are also available.

The paper copies of the 2009 Small Telecommunications Compensation & Benefits Survey are sold out. CD copies of the survey are still available. Prices on the order form below have been adjusted to reflect this change.

If you wish to purchase older copies of the survey please contact the FRED office to see if they have a specific year available.
