We had a name change: dba Cherry Capital Communications.  We are in the final stages of securing our CLEC “Competitive Local Exchange Carrier” license from the State of Michigan that includes the CAP “Competitive Access Provider” license.  The common word in both licenses is “Competitive”.  We embrace respectful competition that allows working with other (building relationships) to maximize all available technologies and resources for the economic benefit or all consumers. 

​

Cherry Capital Communications can be described three ways

​

State of Michigan CLEC and CAP documents state: Approval of Cherry Capital’s application is in the public interest because it will provide Michigan consumers, particularly consumers in rural Michigan, with an enhanced range of telecommunications services, increase customer choice, and will create competitive pressure on carriers already operating in Michigan to provide a higher level of services to their customers. Grant of the license requested in this Application will further the purposes of the MTA, which specifically authorizes local exchange service competition. Cherry Capital is already offering internet service to residential and business customers. A combination of internet and phone service offers convenience and money-saving possibility to customers. Therefore, Cherry Capital respectfully requests that the Michigan Public Service Commission (the “Commission”) grant it a license to provide local exchange service as described herein.
