Being recognized among DMOs across the entire state means a lot, and it's a reflection of more than just our team's work. It's built on the tourism and community partners who make Port Aransas worth telling stories about in the first place.

Yesterday, Port Aransas hosted its first Telecom Summit, bringing every organization responsible for connectivity on Mustang Island to the same table, in the same room, for the same conversation.

AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. Brightspeed and Spectrum. FirstNet and public safety leadership. All discussing how the island is served today, where that service is headed, and—critically for a barrier island—how each organization operates when a storm threatens.

Coverage. Capacity. Clear points of contact. That's what a resilient island community is built on. We are excited to continue to work alongside the City of Port Aransas and the island's telecom partners to make sure the people who live here, work here, and visit here can stay connected no matter what the season brings.
