Telecommunications Industry Therapy

Telecom Policy Updates from TIA

Scott Stekr and Michelle Kang

Colin Andrews, Senior Director of Government Affairs at TIA, and Patrick Lozada, Director of Global Policy at TIA, join our show to discuss how policy changes under the new administration will impact the telecommunications industry. Patrick sheds light on implications of tariffs on the telecommunications industry, and Colin discusses upcoming changes to BEAD funding and security regulations surrounding wireless equipment in light of the Salt Typhoon breach. 

Please note that this podcast was recorded prior to NTIA releasing a new policy notice restructuring the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program on June 6, 2025.
