Washington, D.C. – Competitive Carriers Association President and CEO Tim Donovan made the following statement regarding the hearing “Big Hacks & Big Tech: China’s Cybersecurity Threat” by the Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law: “We thank the Senate Judiciary Committee for convening today’s hearing on China's cybersecurity threat. The congressionally mandated Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Program’s $3.08 billion shortfall leaves networks vulnerable and an important national security mandate incomplete. “The situation is dire: Rural telecommunications providers are being forced to decide where to remove equipment but not replace it, eliminating service both to their own subscribers as well as millions of Americans who roam onto their networks for connectivity, including for 9-1-1 and emergency services. These are permanent choices that are detrimental to service availability and entire businesses. Congress must eliminate this security risk by immediately and fully funding the Program.” For more information about CCA and its policy priorities, please visit ccamobile.org . ### About Competitive Carriers Association Competitive Carriers Association (CCA) is the leading association for competitive communications service providers and stakeholders across the United States.
