The Competitive Carriers Association slammed the FCC Connect America Fund order, after it was released Tuesday night. (See related report above in this issue.) CCA President Steve Berry said in a written statement that the order is biased against wireless. “Many smaller carriers depend on USF support to provide mobile services in the most costly areas” of the U.S., he said. “Without it, they may not survive and consumers will not have wireless services in many areas. The Order does absolutely nothing to promote or even preserve competition."
