Washington, D.C. – Competitive Carriers Association President and CEO Tim Donovan made the following statement regarding the confirmation of Olivia Trusty as Commissioner to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC):

“I commend the Senate for confirming Olivia Trusty as Commissioner to the FCC. Olivia has long been a trusted expert on communications policy during her years of public service in Congress and I couldn’t think of a better, more qualified person to fill the role. She brings vast industry knowledge and a keen understanding of rural and competitive broadband issues which will no doubt allow her to hit the ground running on day one. I look forward to working with Olivia and the Commission to further CCA member priorities including securing access to spectrum and preserving USF support to ensure that all Americans have access to reliable broadband services.”
