Washington, D.C., – Competitive Carriers Association President and CEO Tim Donovan made the following statement regarding the introduction of S. 4448, the Accelerating Broadband Permits Act of 2026: “CCA commends Senators John Thune (R-SD), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) and John Barrasso (R-WY) for introducing the ‘Accelerating Broadband Permits Act of 2026,’ which will help expedite Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program projects requiring federal permits. As BEAD projects advance, it is critical for NTIA to strengthen oversight and accountability in the federal permitting process. Reducing delays and streamlining federal siting and permitting will maximize the program’s impact and help close the digital divide.” 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.
