BENEFITS OF BEING AN ASSOCIATE MEMBER

It’s been another interesting year for the broadband communication industry. Technology continues to move at lightning speed… operators are continuing their efforts in preparing their networks for new services and and deploying broadband in unserved and underserved locations… manufacturers are pushing production to new levels… contractors are gearing up for the next wave…and programmers continue to invest in new content. Also, as you well know, our DBS and telco competitors continue to ramp up aggressive advertising and legislative initiatives making the months and years ahead all the more challenging for us.

Behind the scenes, the staff and members of the Broadband Communications Association of Pennsylvania (BCAP) are monitoring those legislative and regulatory issues in Harrisburg and Washington, D.C. that affect our subscriber growth, competitiveness and ability to expand products and services.
