description: Telephone and Data Systems (TDS) sells consumer and business broadband, video, and
  voice services through TDS Telecom and operates wireless infrastructure through Array Digital
  Infrastructure. TDS does not operate a public developer-API product with a published price card;
  service plans are residential / business connectivity packages, not API consumption tiers.

notes: TDS does not publish a developer-API plan ladder. The original Free / Pro / Enterprise
  scaffold was a synthetic API tier model that does not match how TDS commercializes its services.
  Replaced with a Contact Sales placeholder until a real developer surface is identified.
