USTelecom Commends the ALIGN Act

January 22, 2025

Today, Senator James Lankford (R-OK) and Representative Jodey Arrington (R-TX) reintroduced the Accelerate Long-Term Investment Growth Now (ALIGN) Act.

This statement is from Jonathan Spalter, president & CEO of USTelecom:

Senator James Lankford (R-OK) and Representative Jodey Arrington (R-TX) are taking an important step with this legislation to help connect all in America. By allowing broadband providers to immediately deduct the cost of capital equipment, there will be more for them to invest in the critical work of connecting communities. It is that simple. This is a needed fix that Congress should quickly pass.
