ACA Connects is the collective voice of our Members on federal legislative and regulatory telecommunication matters. Our efforts promote the important work our Members do in their communities to provide vital communication services to their customers.
ACA Connects Members have access to many educational resources throughout the year. Our team frequently hosts informative webinars on a multitude of topics, participates as speakers and panelists at various industry events, and offers guidelines, toolkits and checklists for filing requirements and other telecommunication initiatives.
Through self-funded initiatives as well as participation in government programs, ACA Connects Members are helping to ensure that all households in their communities can enjoy the benefits of broadband, regardless of income.
We are the premier association delivering high-impact advocacy for independent broadband, video and communications providers. Our primary goal is to ensure our members are treated fairly in the marketplace and in Washington, so that small and medium-sized independent operators may continue to thrive and deliver affordable broadband, phone, and video services to their customers!
