March 4, 2026—At its annual fly-in event in Washington, D.C., America’s Communications Association (ACA Connects) today celebrated America’s 250th birthday and America’s independent providers. On its second day of the Summit, ACA Connects debuted a new video spotlighting its members as trailblazers, community-builders, and leaders who have shaped America’s proud entrepreneurial history of resilience and determination.
“Small and independent businesses like yours are the backbone of our economy and the heart and soul of this great nation. As we celebrate 250 years of America this year, we celebrate you!
“The Summit is where fresh ideas are uncovered, partnerships grow, and we ensure you continue to write America’s success story.
“Together, we’re building connections to the next digital frontier. Building relationships with powerhouse leaders and building communities with best-in-class broadband and cutting-edge technologies.
“Together, we’re not just shaping the next 250 years—we’re building it.”
This year’s Summit, which theme is “We’re Building Connections, Relationships, and Communities,” is a unique opportunity for broadband providers to share with key lawmakers and industry leaders how they are making an impact in their communities across all 50 states and building America’s digital future, including in rural communities. From planning new builds, digging trenches, climbing poles, and investing in networks that deliver best-in-class services, ACA Connects members are keeping this great country connected, transforming people’s lives, and driving innovation from sea to shining sea.
