The Richmond Telephone Company is one of two very small independent telephone companies in Massachusetts (and one of only three independent ratecenters in MA). This ratecenter is so small that it only serves a few hundred residents and few businesses. This small phone company stayed independent until 2009 when a small CLEC called CornerStone purchased them.

There is a small remote switch somewhere in this restricted access complex that serves several large businesses and factories in a Centrex arrangement. This wirecenter is a small "island" and is totally surrounded by the Pittsfield Federal wirecenter.
