Statement of NCTA – The Internet & Television Association Regarding Sen. Moran’s RISER Act

“While we are optimistic that the COVID-19 pandemic will recede in the coming months, we know that America’s recovery will take much longer. That is why we support Sen. Moran’s RISER (“Remove Impediments for a Successful Economic Recovery Act’’) Act to extend the timeline for states to use CARES Act funding, allowing them to expand access in a technology neutral manner to broadband and telemedicine services in unserved communities, ensuring that states have the time to identify and focus funding on projects and areas most in need.”
