Bluebird Fiber, headquartered in Columbia, Missouri, was formed by integrating three companies: Bluebird Media, Missouri Network Alliance (MNA-est. 1999), and Illinois Network Alliance (INA-est. 2009). This integration created a leading Missouri and Illinois telecommunications company that provides 6,000 miles of high-speed broadband and fiber optic connections to Midwest communities. Bluebird's fiber network has over 100 Points of Presence (POP) sites spanning the Midwest and includes POPs in the core cities of Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Tulsa, Des Moines, Omaha and Memphis. Additionally, Bluebird has a national reach through its partner, INDATEL, which connects the fiber-optic networks of independent telephone companies across the United States.
