RC&A Group is a shadowy "venture facilitation firm" that lists amongst its clients Wireless! Webconnect, which sought advice from RC&A during its merger with Intellicall, a Texas-based telecommunications firm. (Although on paper, Intellicall was technically the buyer, it was eventually subsumed entirely by the existing WWC management team, who then proceeded to crash headlong into fiscal disaster as a result of the collapse of the Ricochet network last August.)

RC&A is, in fact, the latest incarnation in the checkered corporate history of longtime Scientologists Bob and Toli Cefail, both generous donors to the church. The Cefails have a long history of failed telecommunications enterprises, mostly involving phone systems, phone cards and other aspects of the temptingly underregulated long distance and specialty phone service sector.
In the early 90s, Robert Cefail and Associates ran afoul of the state of North Carolina after the Utilities Commission found that RC&A had overcharged clients by more than $200,000, according to this report:

On December 22, 1989, in Docket No. P-100, Sub 89, the Commission authorized automated collect service in North Carolina. Pursuant to that order, payphone providers began offering this service in North Carolina confinement facilities. Since early 1992, the Public Staff has advised the Commission of significant violations of the COCOT rules which apply to automated collect service. These included the overcharges to North Carolina customers by Equal Access Corporation, which totaled over $60,000 (Dockets No. SC-614, Sub 2 and SC-614, Sub 3), and by Robert Cefail and Associates, Inc., which totaled over $285,000 (Docket No. SC-610, Sub 2). In each of these dockets, the Public Staff cited numerous examples of other COCOT rule and automated collect violations which it had found at these companies' confinement facility locations.

Robert and Toli Cefail are also named as defendents in this lawsuit that alleges that the Cefails, as well as other Scientologists, conspired to defraud mentally impaired former Scientologist Raul Lopez out of over a million dollars. In a story about the case, New Times LA writer Ron Russell described how the Cefails convinced Lopez to invest in yet another one of their shady telephone systems projects:

" ..Michael Zetner, a Scientologist who along with two other church members, Robert and Toli Cefail, persuaded him to invest in a company that they pitched as having great investment potential. The firm, RC&A Group, purports to install pay phones in jails to be used by inmates. RC&A is a Scientologist-owned and -operated company licensed by the World Institute of Scientology Enterprises, or WISE, a religious corporation with headquarters at the church's Clearwater operational base. Church critics say it is merely another entrepreneurial extension of the church, pointing out that RC&A pays WISE 10 percent of its gross receipts as a licensing fee. Lopez invested $300,000 in RC&A. His lawsuit contends that he was led to believe he would earn a payout of $754,000 within several years."

Cefail is also listed as a contact in the news release announcing the partnership between WWC and Fortress, as discussed earlier, which makes it likely that RC&A "faciliated" that deal as well.
