By Spellmeyer, ACA Connects President & CEO
I wanted to make sure you saw these two items that have ACA Connects’ full support.
First, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce just asked the 5th U.S. Court of Appeals to invalidate the FCC’s digital discrimination rules.
Second, Congressman Buddy Carter (R-GA), Congressman Andrew Clyde (R-GA), and 65 House Republicans introduced a joint resolution of disapproval to overturn the rules.
Thank you, @RepBuddyCarter & @Rep_Clyde, for leading efforts to overturn the FCC’s misguided approach. This resolution will help protect smaller providers who are at the forefront of closing the broadband gap in communities across America. https://t.co/CMG0G2b4A1

These are important efforts that are further making the case that the FCC’s attempt to regulate every corner of the internet will undermine the intended goal of equal access to broadband. These rules go far beyond the FCC’s legal authority and will deter investment, innovation, and deployment to close the digital divide.
We will keep you updated on this news. Rest assured, ACA Connects will continue to defend your proven record of service to your communities and your leadership to close the broadband access gap.
Thank you,
Grant
