ACA Connects CEO braces for big regulatory 'reset'

With a new Trump administration entering power in late January, the regulatory wheels are already in motion and work is underway to prepare for big changes likely to arrive in 2025. ACA Connects CEO Grant Spellmeyer generally believes that the new administration will be good for ACA Connects' membership. Notably, the decision to appoint FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr as Chairman will "reset" the regulatory picture, to the benefit of his constituents, he says. Spellmeyer is hopeful that the new FCC will help to clear away some "regulatory barriers" and provide broader streamlining that can help to accelerate the pace of broadband network deployments.
