Based in Concord, North Carolina, USA, ACN began operations in the U.S in 1993 as American Communications Network. It extended operations to Europe in 1999 and to Asia-Pacific in 2004, and now operates in 23 countries, on 4 continents.[5] As a reflection of its international operations, it changed its name to just the initial letters ACN.[citation needed] The company is a member of the Direct Selling Associations in North America [6][7] and Europe.[8] In the United States, ACN is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau, where it currently has an A rating.[9] In 2010, ACN was placed #21 on Direct Selling News' Global 100 list of the top 100 direct selling companies worldwide based on its revenue.[10]

ACN offers landline telephone service (local and long distance), Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), including video phone service, high-speed internet, satellite television, cellular phone, and home security services, primarily to consumers, and secondarily to small businesses. Beginning in 2011, ACN also began offering an ACN-branded international calling smartphone app available for iPhone, Android and Symbian, reselling WiMAX wireless Internet, and technical support service for personal and business computers, as well as getting back into the energy reselling market.[20]
With variations depending upon the country of operation, provision of ACN's services follows three models:
The reselling of ACN-branded services ultimately originating in an incumbent provider. This is exemplified by local and long-distance telephone, where ACN buys local telephone service from an incumbent provider such as Qwest or AT&T, and bills customers in its own name. This model was made possible by telephone industry deregulation beginning in 1996; prior to this, ACN was involved solely in reselling long-distance telephone service. It was the expansion of deregulation internationally that made it possible for ACN to begin to operate outside the United States.
Acting as a sales agent for the actual service provider, where an ACN representative sells the service, but order fulfillment, billing, and servicing is performed by the branded provider. ACN resells wireless plans from Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel, and T-Mobile USA,[21] satellite television providers DirecTV and Dish Network,[22] and the largest home security provider, ADT.[23] ACN now also resells energy (electricity and natural gas) for Planet Energy, in New York City, New York.
The selling of ACN-branded and provided services. These are Voice over Internet Protocol[24] and the Iris 5000 Videophone,[25] in which ACN resells consumer equipment manufactured to their specifications, but owns and maintains its own network of servers. Starting in January 2011, ACN has also added an ACN-branded computer technical support service to its service offerings.[26]
