WASHINGTON, DC – Statement from Morgan Reed, president, ACT | The App Association in support of the SAT Streamlining Act:
“S. 3639, the Satellite and Telecommunications (SAT) Streamlining Act, is an important step toward increasing and improving satellite internet infrastructure” said Morgan Reed, president of ACT. “ACT has long supported increased access to broadband from all viable sources, which now include low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems. In order to reach markets across the nation and around the world, small business innovators need their customers and consumers to have access to fast, reliable, and cost-effective internet services. Government policies that encourage a mix of modalities help maximize competition, leading to better services for ACT members. Ensuring streamlined regulatory review for this vital industry will support small businesses across the country and position the United States as a leader in satellite infrastructure. We look forward to working with Senators Cruz and Welch to advance this legislation.”
