CCA Comments in FCC IP Interconnection Proceeding

January 21, 2026

Washington, D.C. – Competitive Carriers Association President and CEO Tim Donovan made the following statement: “CCA filed comments in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) IP Interconnection proceeding yesterday. The FCC is proposing to forbear from sections of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that support interconnection and collocation for competitive providers in hopes of facilitating the country’s transition to IP. CCA’s comments emphasize the importance of wholesale competition to the FCC’s consideration and ongoing anticompetitive conduct from legacy incumbent local exchange carriers surrounding competitive interconnection. CCA members want to interconnect in IP and are being thwarted from efficiently doing so. CCA proposes a glide path the FCC can use as a basis for successfully and completely transitioning to IP in the United States – ensuring connectivity, competition, and innovation. Getting IP interconnection right – from the transition from TDM through fair and competitive rules of the road in an all-IP world – is one of the most important issues CCA members will face in 2026.” 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. Members range from small, rural carriers serving fewer than 5,000 customers to regional and nationwide providers serving millions, as well as vendors and suppliers delivering products and services throughout the communications ecosystem.

CCA Applauds Introduction of the “SUCCESS for BEAD Act”

December 18, 2025

Washington, D.C., – Competitive Carriers Association President and CEO Tim Donovan made the following statement: “CCA applauds Senators Roger Wicker (R-MS) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) for leading the introduction of the ‘Supporting U.S. Critical Connectivity and Economic Strategy and Security for BEAD Act’ or the ‘SUCCESS for BEAD Act.’ Prioritizing investment of ‘non-deployment’ funds from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program on initiatives such as mobile and fixed wireless connectivity will complement and enhance current investments from the BEAD program and ensure maximum impact toward closing the digital divide.” “Directing the remaining funds toward advanced wireless networks is the fastest and most effective way to progress ubiquitous connectivity – especially in rural America, where these networks are an important part of the path to meaningful broadband access. Strengthening and improving these networks expands opportunities to access education, telehealth, commerce, and public safety as well as cutting-edge technologies including AI and precision agriculture in the communities that need them most. Congress appropriated these funds specifically to expand connectivity and putting them to work expanding and enhancing wireless networks, as well as by providing support for critical workforce personnel and ensuring accountability with resources for data mapping policies, stays true to BEAD’s original goals.” “ I thank Senators Wicker and Capito for their leadership and urge Congress to advance this legislation.” 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.
