Vista-United Telecommunications was the telecommunications company owned by The Walt Disney Company to service all Disney resorts in Florida and Disney-planned communities such as Celebration, Florida.
Disney created Vista-United as an Limited Liability Company. The company was created to manage the new telephone and data communications for Walt Disney World. Vista-United was the first company to use underground cabling, the first to use fiber optic cable to provide service to customers, and the first company in Florida to activate 9-1-1 emergency dialing. [1]
Visa-United was in-fact an independent telephone company for Walt Disney World, however the company was created through a partnership between Vista Communications, Inc., a indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company and United Telephone Company of Florida a wholly and directly owned subsidiary of Sprint. [2]
In 2001 telephone company Smart City Telecom, LLC purchased Visa-United and created an agreement with Disney to ensure telecommunications service for the resort over a long period of time.[3] [4]
