Statement by CCA President & CEO Tim Donovan on Passage of #NDAA with #RipAndReplace Funding: ccamobile.org/statement-by-c…

#NetworksSafetyandSecurity @TimmyDonovan: #RipAndReplace funding is “absolutely essential” for companies that “have been frozen for the last 5 years.” #mobilecarriers #telecom

“Funding the #RipAndReplace shortfall, a bipartisan priority affecting rural broadband in states all across the country, should be a priority as part of this disaster relief package.” Thank you, @SenGaryPeters — we completely agree: youtube.com/watch?v=B6rGeogE…
