Charles Gaines I., the son of a failed brussel sprout farmer, founded MegaTelco in 1905. Originally called, Gaines' Phones and Such, the company began by installing phone lines in New York City. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, Gaines' Phones and Such grew into the largest telephone company in the Tri-State area. In 1910, they took the name MegaTelco to reflect the growing size of the company.

Although not involved in the day to day operations, Charles surrounded himself with trusted advisors. He referred to this group as the "MegaTelco Men." Together they led the company through four decades of prosperity. That all ended with the invention of the Internet. "It's just a passing phase." the advisors said. "It'll never catch on". As customers began leaving for more technologically advanced companies, profits began to tumble. Charles swore that whatever it took, he wouldn't let those young whippersnappers get the best of MegaTelco. And so the story continues...
