DALLAS – Hadeler Sullivan & Law here has won the advertising account of telecommunications specialist OpTel Inc., estimated by sources at $3-4 million.
Dallas-based OpTel bundles cable, telephone and high-speed Internet access services for residents of multi-unit housing communities. The firm serves about 400,000 customers through microwave or fiber-optic connections, according to Hoover’s Online.
