The Competitive Carriers Association (CCA) opens its 2026 Mobility & Connectivity Show tomorrow in Louisville, Kentucky. In this Tower Talks podcast, CCA President and CEO Tim Donovan spoke with Inside Towers Washington Bureau Chief Leslie Stimson before the show about hot topics for the association that represents competitive communications service providers and stakeholders across the United States. The NTIA’s BEAD program, spectrum access, permitting and the FCC’s Universal Service Fund are CCA priorities. So too, is where the Rip & Replace reimbursement fund stands.
