E.N.M.R. Telephone Cooperative, Inc. — organized in 1949 as the Eastern New Mexico Rural Telephone Cooperative, now doing business as ENMR-Plateau and marketed as Plateau — is a member-owned, private telecommunications cooperative headquartered in Clovis, New Mexico (PO Box 1450; offices at 7111 N. Prince Street). It has no public ticker and is not a subsidiary of a larger carrier, though it operates through affiliate entities including Plateau Telecommunications, Inc. and the FCC-registered reporting entity ENMR Plateau Telephone Cooperative-TX. Employee count and revenue are not disclosed in the public sources reviewed; the cooperative publishes an annual report with parent-company financial statements. CEO is Launa Waller.
Operations. Plateau is an incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) serving rural eastern New Mexico and the west Texas Panhandle — roughly 25,000 square miles across parts of about 25 counties, described as over one-fifth of New Mexico's land area. Service lines include local and long-distance voice, wireless (Plateau Wireless), high-speed fiber internet and video/TV, and business/enterprise solutions. It operates a fiber network exceeding 5,200 miles, has received USDA ReConnect and NTIA broadband grants (over $41 million per USDA) to extend fiber to remote members, and offers wholesale/middle-mile fiber and connectivity to schools, hospitals, and public agencies. It also competes as an ISP in Tucumcari, Roswell, and Clovis.
Litigation posture. The tracked data show 2 cases, both as defendant and zero as plaintiff — the profile of an operating company targeted by a patent holder rather than an asserter. Both tracked suits were filed in the plaintiff-friendly U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division.
Notable cases. Both entries are Freedom Wireless, Inc. v. Alltel Corp. et al. (the earlier one dated 2006-11-30), a multi-defendant action naming numerous wireless carriers. Freedom Wireless was a patent-holding licensor of prepaid wireless-billing technology that litigated broadly in the mid-2000s; Plateau's appearance reflects its status as a rural wireless carrier caught up in that campaign. Separately, FCC records show Plateau Wireless assigned AWS-1, cellular, 700 MHz, and microwave licenses to an AT&T subsidiary in a 2014 transaction.
