“This is a remarkable achievement of our successful commitment to deliver High-speed internet to rural counties throughout Texas, but I must thank our amazing customers, communities and my team for making it possible to make the Inc5000” said Robert Zoch, Founder and CEO.
Not only have the companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 (which are listed online at Inc.com) been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. According to Inc magazine there were over 7 million companies that sent in their past 4 year tax returns to verify their revenue growth.

Bellville, Texas (March 1, 2021) – Internet Service Provider; ZochNet, recently acquired a local internet company; Jet Jet Internet LLC, based out of Sealy, Texas.
The deal closed on February 28th. “This acquisition will expand ZochNet’s current coverage area in Austin County and increase its tower network in the county; by adding 12 towers, bringing us up to 26 towers, throughout the county” said Roger Turner, the company’s CFO. Currently, ZochNet is in the early construction stages of fibering the town of Bellville, the capital seat of Austin County.
Jet Jet Internet was founded in 2012 and has been operated by local Sealy resident, Bobby Schoelman, since he started the company. “I first met Roger in the spring of 2020 and liked their business model and future plans to expand and update rural internet service in Texas. I knew that ZochNet was committed to being on top of the industry changes and was wanting to expand. In turn, ZochNet learned more about Jet Jet Internet and were impressed by many things about our business model, network and operations. Since our two companies overlapped in a couple areas and with us having similar business models, ZochNet expressed an interest in purchasing our Sealy area network. With Sealy and Austin County growing so quickly, Jet Jet Internet’s expanding network and rapidly growing customer base, we decided that the timing was right to sell certain assets to ZochNet. We had been approached by other wireless internet service providers interested in purchasing our network over the past year. We knew that ZochNet was by far the right choice as they are best equipped to provide high-quality internet options in our area, reliable connectivity and they are also well-known in the industry to provide stellar customer service (which were always our goals, as well)”, said Bobby Schoelman.
“While Jet Jet Internet is building internet infrastructure in the Bahamas, ZochNet plans on keeping all of their existing employees, because obtaining their kind of talent and experience is very important to our company,” explained Roger Turner. “This deal of purchasing the Jet Jet Internet and Sealy area network infrastructure, which in part includes 12 towers, multiple fiber optic backbone connections and 1,200 Jet Jet subscribers will bring us up to over 7,500 subscribers, which gives us the means to increase our customer care support and network monitoring to ultimately provide 24/7/365 customer service.”
This is the second acquisition in 6 months, ZochNet acquired Texas Broadband, based in Brenham, whom was a 20-year old ISP in 10 counties throughout the area, including Austin County. These transactions positions ZochNet to fulfill the broadband needs of Fiber-Optic technology for FTTH & FTTB, (Fiber to the Home, & Business) for the Austin county towns and Highspeed Internet for the most rural areas of Austin County.
