Ace Telephone Association state-reach reading
Ace Telephone Association opens on geographic reach: #108 of 2,138 filers by states with filings (3 states), with 9,579 records behind that footprint.
Among 2,138 Form 477 providers on this site, Ace Telephone Association sits in the upper third by record volume (≥ 2,064). Large books usually mean many census blocks marked served, not that every block has active subscribers.
The lead state (Minnesota) holds 38.0% of Ace Telephone Association's filings (3,637 records). That is a moderate peak: several states still move this filer's national total. Form 477 historically let providers mark a whole census block from a single reachable address; treat these counts as declared capability, not address-level availability, speed, or price.
