\tUS telecoms players urged politicians to provide financial aid to cover mounting costs associated with Covid-19 (coronavirus) relief packages for their customers.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Spalter, CEO of industry group USTelecom, told a congressional hearing many operators faced “a substantial cost” because of the aid they were providing subscribers and called for legislation to “keep providers on a sound financial footing”.<\/p>\n

Commitments made by service providers include not chasing late payments or disconnecting customers in arrears.<\/p>\n

T-Mobile US and Verizon recently predicted a hefty hit to their finances [1] after committing to a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) move to provide consumer aid until 30 June.<\/p>\n

Competitive Carriers Association (CCA) CEO Steven Berry backed the call for relief, stating \u201creduced revenues are starting to have a real impact\u201d on operators\u2019 ability to keep staff employed, maintain their networks and keep consumers connected.<\/p>\n

USTelecom members include mobile giants AT&T and Verizon, while CCA represents T-Mobile US and an array of smaller regional operators.<\/p>\n

Various proposed legislation could deliver a total pot of $6 billion to the FCC to cover the costs of smaller operators and consumer bills during the pandemic if passed into law.<\/p>\n
