Insider Cable

Insider Cable, LLC is Monasoki's largest Telecommunications telecommunications] company. Despite IC only serving 15% of the country's population, the rest of Monasoki's telecommunications infrastructure is made up of smaller outfits. Founded on June 16, 1987, the company maintains its headquarters in Qubee, Qubee.

History
Insider Cable was formed on June 16, 1987. Local businessman Frank Wilson and his business partner Joe Fox were interested in starting a cable services company. Up until this point, the men were co-owners of FW Radios, which made FM, AM, MWS Alert, and CB radios. They originally applied for a license to operate as a second option to Qubee National Cable. However, QNC offered interest in selling to Fox and Wilson. They initially refused, but as Corinth Cable and Brandenburg Telecom noted that they were interested, Fox and Wilson decided to purchase. The idea of calling the outfit "Insider Cable" was not conceived by Fox nor Wilson. It was devised by local journalist Matt Dillon. Fox and Wilson planned to name the company QBC Cable. When writing for the Qubee Enquirer's telecommunications section, Dillon credited Fox and Wilson, saying that the company "gave customers and insider look to how it works." This came from Fox and Wilson announcing to subscribers that they could see how their company operated in a Grand Opening Open House. Fox and Wilson thought "Insider" was catchy, and named the company Insider Cable. Initially a two-county operation, the outfit slowly acquired surrounding companies, including Jonesville Cable, Southwest Communications, Westcom, and Montgomery Telecom.

Mona Systems
While not wholly owned by Insider Cable, Mona Systems is the company that makes IC's digital set-top boxes, internet routers, and phone jacks. MS was founded by Phil Erickson in 1996. Erickson partnered with IC in 2002 and sold twenty percent of the outfit to Insider itself. Until 2014, Mona Systems was a little-known company. It made a front line debut as lead sponsor on Hardin Racing's No. 77 Ford in the Monasoki MET Series. It continues to serve as primary sponsor for that team.

Crown Fiber Communications
CBC was founded by Joe Crown in 1984. CBC was the cable operation that serves the Qubmoca area. In 2013, Crown sold the outfit to Insider. Despite expectancies that all customers would be switched to Insider, the company maintained the Crown Fiber name.

Sponsorship
Insider Cable is heavily involved in motorsports. Insider and its partner Mona Systems sponsor the No. 77 Hardin Racing Ford_Mustang Ford Mustang] in the Monasoki MET Series. Insider's subisidary, Crown Fiber Communications, sponsors the No. 00 George Franklin Motorsports Pontiac_Grand_Prix Pontiac Grand Prix], while Insider itself sponsors the No. 15 Bill Wilson Racing Ford_Fusion Ford Fusion], both in the Matthew Media Vintage Series.
