Washington, D.C. – Competitive Carriers Association President and CEO Tim Donovan made the following statement: “CCA is encouraged by the agreement on spectrum auction language as the Senate considers the reconciliation bill. Restoring the FCC’s spectrum auction authority is long overdue and essential to ensure continued innovation and investment in next-generation wireless and broadband services. We are especially pleased to see the commitment to make at least 800 MHz of spectrum available, with a focus on mid-band spectrum. As negotiations move forward, Congress should ensure that any newly available spectrum is auctioned by the FCC in a way that provides meaningful opportunities for competitive carriers, including those committed to serving rural America.” For more information about CCA and its policy priorities, please visit ccamobile.org. ### About Competitive Carriers Association Competitive Carriers Association (CCA) is the leading association for competitive communications service providers and stakeholders across the United States.
