Public Policy Committee


The WTA Public Policy Committee, formerly known as Western Alliance, monitors Federal regulatory issues and develops policy positions through submission of filings in various FCC docket proceedings. WTA is dedicated to promoting the interests of rural telcos in high-cost, low density areas. WTA works with members and other trained professionals to pro-actively represent rural telephone systems in federal legislative and regulatory proceedings. The Association is also addressing the significant issues raised by the Telecommunications Reform Act of 1996, such as universal service.
