CCA is committed to being the premier advocacy organization for competitive
wireless carriers and stakeholders. One of the association’s most effective means of influencing policymakers is the collective voice of its membership. When Members of Congress hear directly from you, it makes a powerful statement and may directly impact their policy position or even the details of legislation.
To make informed decisions impacting the wireless industry and consumers, it is of the utmost importance that policymakers know what matters to you – their constituents – and we need your help. CCA Take Action is designed to allow you to communicate directly with your Members of Congress on the issues that matter most to your business.
Hearing from you provides Members of Congress with valuable insight and perspective on the mobile wireless industry that increasingly touch every aspect of Americans' lives. The easy-to-use CCA Take Action platform is designed to do just that.
Urge Congress to Fully Fund Rip & Replace Immediately
Washington, D.C. – Competitive Carriers Association President and CEO Tim Donovan made the following statement: “CCA commends U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee Subcommittee on Communications and Technology Chairman Bob Latta (R-OH), Vice Chair Randy Weber (R-TX), and Senators Jerry Moran (R-KS) and Roger Wicker (R-MS) for leading a letter to Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel regarding the 5G Fund. We thank the additional eight Members of Congress who joined them. The importance of getting the 5G Fund right for rural America cannot be overstated. This program will replace key components of the High-Cost Fund and become the only federal funding program focused on mobility. It will determine if rural Americans maintain mobile services and gain access to ubiquitous 5G connectivity. As the Members of Congress stated, the ‘5G Fund should preserve and expand next-generation mobile wireless services in rural America’ because ‘[all] Americans deserve the opportunities that 5G service will bring to their lives.’ To do so, the FCC must recognize the criticality of leveraging BEAD-funded fiber and fixed wireless projects and basing eligibility and funding decisions on accurate mapping data. Otherwise, rural areas will be left behind and will miss out on vital connectivity opportunities – or worse, lose access to coverage available today only because of USF support. CCA will continue work with Congress and the FCC to maximize the reach and efficiency of the 5G Fund and to ensure that the data used for 5G Fund decisions is the highest quality possible.” A link to the letter can be found here.
