CCA Statement on the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Decision
Aug 12, 2020
Statement by CCA President & CEO Steven K. Berry: “Today’s Ninth Circuit decision is a win for the wireless industry, and more importantly, a win for consumers, who will benefit from more streamlined and efficient deployment of 5G networks. Infrastructure is the backbone of wireless networks, and today’s opinion correctly recognizes that 5G networks will require denser architecture to deliver the services that consumers demand and need. The Court’s decision allows wireless carriers to continue to work with state and local governments to deploy next-generation networks and close the digital divide, while importantly ensuring that outlier regulations do not inhibit deployment. CCA has long supported a more efficient and streamlined approach to wireless infrastructure deployment, and I thank Chairman Pai for supporting and adopting these infrastructure orders, and particularly applaud Commissioner Carr’s leadership on infrastructure reform. I also commend the FCC’s Office of General Counsel for its vigorous defense of these important orders.”

Statement by CCA President & CEO Tim Donovan on “Rip and Replace” and ACP Amendment to FAA Reauthorization
Competitive Carriers Association President and CEO Tim Donovan made the following statement on FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel’s recent update to Congress emphasizing the urgent need for Congress to fully fund the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Reimbursement Program (Program) to prevent network failures and catastrophic service reductions and protect the security of domestic communications: “CCA thanks Chairwoman Rosenworcel for highlighting the critical need for Congress to make up the $3.08 billion shortfall in the Program’s funding. The urgency of the Chairwoman’s letter highlights the dire necessity to secure our nation's communications infrastructure and prevent network failures and service reductions impacting tens of millions of consumers. We urge Congress to seize the opportunity to include full Program funding in the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act (H.R. 3935).” ### About Competitive Carriers Association Competitive Carriers Association (CCA) is the leading association for competitive wireless providers and stakeholders across the United States.
