		<p class="profile-textblock">Alpine Communications has been providing telephone, Internet, and security services to six rural exchanges in northeast Iowa since 1997.   Alpine also offers cable TV service to seven nearby communities.  A new retail center, Web hosting/design, computer security, and business phone system sales and service are Alpine's other areas of specialization.  A fiber-to-the-home project was recently completed in Elkader and Guttenberg.
