Democratic FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn will be the keynote speaker at the American Cable Association's  annual summit.

Clyburn will speak April 12. The summit is April 11-13 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Washington.

Clyburn helped get stronger conditions on the Comcast/NBCU merger "to ensure that independent cable operators can secure Comcast-NBCU programming on fair and reasonable terms," said ACA president Matt Polka in announcing the keynote.

ACA represents about 900 small and mid-sized cable operators.
