CCA Praises Congressional Rural Broadband Caucus Relaunch

Competitive Carriers Association CEO Tim Donovan hailed a group of six House lawmakers Wednesday for relaunching the Congressional Rural Broadband Caucus. Former House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., and former Communications Subcommittee Chairman Bob Latta, R-Ohio, are among the caucus’s co-chairs. The group “has served as an essential voice for rural America, and we are encouraged to see its re-launch with strong bipartisan support,” Donovan said. “Connectivity is a lifeline for rural communities -- supporting education, agriculture, healthcare, public safety, and economic opportunity. At a time when several critical policies will shape the future of rural connectivity, we appreciate the Caucus’s renewed focus on advancing policies empowering rural carriers to build and sustain robust networks for their communities.”
