NTCA-The Rural Broadband Association, ACA Connects, CTIA, New York State Telecommunications Association, Satellite Broadcasting & Communications Association and USTelecom released a joint statement on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals Decision on New York's Affordable Broadband Act.

"The broadband industry supports efforts to connect all Americans to broadband. We're committed to providing affordable options and a variety of plans to meet every family's needs.

"We are disappointed by the court's decision and New York state's move for rate regulation in competitive industries. It not only discourages the needed investment in our nation's infrastructure, but also potentially risks the sustainability of broadband operations in many areas.

"We urge Congress to maintain support for low-income Americans on a nationwide basis."
