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. In 2001 telephone company Smart City Telecom purchased Vista-United and created an agreement with Disney to ensure telecommunications service for the resort over a long period of time.
