MEMBERSHIP

This is a critical time for competitive communications service providers. Public policy issues before Congress, the FCC, and other agencies have significant consequences and could impact the industry.

Why Join CCA?

We're ensuring the future of a competitive communications services industry.
CCA 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.
View Our Membership Brochure
Our mission is to advocate on behalf of our members' interests and educate policymakers on the key issues that impact our members' ability to compete, survive, and thrive in the industry. CCA also represents associate members including vendors and suppliers that provide products and services throughout the mobile communications supply chain. Together, CCA's membership makes up an entire competitive ecosystem - working together to bring the most robust services to consumers all across the nation.

  • Advocacy

    CCA works to ensure that competitive carriers have:


    • Meaningful access to licensed spectrum for commercial wireless use
    • Sufficient and predictable USF support 
    • Streamlined federal infrastructure policies which spur and support wireless deployment
    • Access to information and resources necessary for network security 
    • Access to devices and the latest technologies 

    Visit our Advocacy page for the latest news you can use.

  • Business Solutions

    As a complement to our advocacy work, we also work closely with our members to provide business solutions for carriers. CCA’s Data Access Hub is one of the most significant programs to date and was created to make connectivity much easier. Carriers that connect with the Hub have immediate access to all other participating operators’ networks.

  • CCA Events

    CCA hosts two major events each year to bring key players in the competitive communications service provider ecosystem together to network, learn about the latest technologies, and hear policy updates. CCA events are the ideal meeting place for stakeholders in the mobile and communications services industry to come together under one roof.


    More carrier companies are represented at CCA events than any other industry event, giving attendees and exhibitors unprecedented access to top-level executives and companies influencing the industry.

  • Networking

    CCA members gain access to a network of industry colleagues who share the same policy concerns. Our Washington Representatives (WASH REPS) Group holds weekly calls to discuss the latest developments on legislative and regulatory issues most important to competitive carriers.

A clear, respected voice representing competitive carriers.

Three Types of CCA Membership

Carrier Members

A Carrier Member must be a facilities-based, non-nationwide provider of communications service in the United States, and not have more than 80 million subscribers. Nationwide providers that were members as of the Bylaws change are grandfathered.

Associate Members

Associate Members are companies that provide goods or services to the communications industry. Associate Members are not voting members.

Affiliate Members

Affiliate Members are those companies that operate or own an interest in one or more commercial wireless license or facilities-based non-nationwide providers of communications services but do not qualify as a Carrier Member. This may be because they operate outside the United States or because they are a limited partner. Affiliate Members are not voting members.
