Who is Birch Telecom and where did they come from? I have never heard anything about them until today.

I would say that they are a local telephone and internet provider that is also a MVNO of Sprint offering mobile internet on a USB stick.

I did a Google search and the information is so vague. I only found history for them dating back to 2010. Too many unanswered questions. Even Wikipedia doesn't have an article on them.

Google Analytics for my Shopping cart showed someone was browsing from them.

That services Georgia.

Can't find anything else.

I know there was a Birch Telecom in Kansas City. Birch filed for bankruptcy in 2002.

History only goes back to late 2009 when they refinanced debt. Strange. They must have been called something else.

Well, now I am interested.

 

Seems that modern-day Birch Communications is actually a company named Access Integrated Networks(Atlanta-based). They acquired Birch Telecom(KC-based) back in July of 2008 for an undisclosed sum of money. AIN then renamed themselves Birch Communications, which runs Birch Telecom.

I guess Birch Telecom re-emerged after their bankruptcy in 2002 and made themselves a good acquisition target a few year later.
