“CCA commends the Biden-Harris Administration for seeking full funding for the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Reimbursement Program, also known as ‘Rip and Replace,’ in its critical domestic needs supplemental funding request to Congress.

Full funding for the ongoing removal of insecure equipment and software from communications infrastructure and subsequent replacement with trusted alternatives is critical for the safety and availability of key American wireless networks.
