Insiders report that business leader and entrepreneur Jeff Buckingham has formed a new telecommunications company in San Luis Obispo, Blue Rooster Telecom.

Buckingham is again partnering with Cheryl Lovell, who helped him start Call America’s second iteration in 2001 in SLO.

Buckingham founded the original Call America in 1983 and later sold it to a national company. Their new company will offer traditional local and long distance phone service, plus Internet and private networks to local businesses.

Buckingham has long been a business leader both locally and nationally in his field of independent telecom suppliers.
