CCA Applauds House Committee Efforts to Streamline Broadband Permitting

November 18, 2025

Washington, D.C. – Competitive Carriers Association President and CEO Tim Donovan made the following statement regarding the House Committee on Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Communications and Technology’s markup of broadband permitting legislation: “CCA applauds the Subcommittee’s efforts to advance legislation that would greatly improve the permitting landscape for broadband projects. Streamlining permitting requirements will decrease the arduous challenges faced by small and rural providers looking to build and deploy broadband infrastructure. Increased certainty will incentivize growth and unleash network innovation while speeding up deployment. Congress must act now to ensure that current federal permitting processes do not delay or altogether prohibit broadband deployment particularly in rural, high-cost, unserved, or underserved areas, and that federal siting and permitting policies help deliver ubiquitous broadband service across the country.” ### 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 Commends Introduction of Broadband and Telecommunications RAIL Act

November 18, 2025

Washington, D.C., – Competitive Carriers Association President and CEO Tim Donovan made the following statement: “CCA commends the introduction of the Broadband and Telecommunications RAIL Act to help remove barriers to broadband deployment. Excessive delays, arbitrary fees, and increased costs surrounding broadband deployments around and across rail lines have long presented significant obstacles for CCA members working to close the digital divide in rural and underserved areas. The RAIL Act brings greater certainty to an otherwise inconsistent process, providing needed reforms to cut through challenges that frustrate the building, expansion, and maintenance of America’s mobile and fixed broadband networks. CCA urges Congress to move this important legislation forward.”
