Welcome to the US-CCA
Who is US-CCA?
The USCCA was founded in 2005 by community leaders, community communications products and service vendors and the communities that surround them. The United States Connected Communities seeks to get rid of connectivity deserts, and the odd mess of community connectivity and replace it with models for universal access, new residential/commercial construction, and community services based on cohesive communications infrastructure. This is mandatory to allow communities to be identified for their level of supportable services for both businesses and residences.
Why US-CCA?
Today, communities are identified through GIS and demographic characteristics for their services infrastructure: population characteristics, water, sewer, electrical, and natural gas. We propose to add communications infrastructure to the list, to allow organizations to be identified for their communications capital asset infrastucture commitments.
Mission Statement
- To envision and deploy communications capabilities to meet the future needs of communities through the promotion of communications infrastructure as a mandated community utility as the recognized fifth utility.
- To bring best-of-class standardized communications infrastructure that will meet the needs of future generations of citizens, businesses, and NGOs.
- To provide public-private partnerships that bring cost-effective and
high-value capital and communications assets to participating communities.
- To help foster, design, document, and promulgate residential, commercial, and civic communications infrasturcture standards and regional classification.
- To help foster and educate communities regarding business models and best practices for Connected Community members.
- To bring together interested communities, governmental organizations, and the ecosystems of communications in dialog, education, and the advancement of communications technologies for communities.
The USCCA was founded in 2005 to promote community communications asset development through the use of standards-based communications infrastructure to benefit generations to come. We're building referential models that communities can use in conjunction with public, public-private, and organized partnerships to achieve these goals.
Driven by the needs of communities, the USCCA places value on the public-private partnerships that are needed today to bring about both economic development and quality of life for communities willing to provide leadership and resources to their city's utility assets. This fifth utility guarantees subsequent generations have the communications basis they need for education, communications, entertainment, municipal/emergency services, telemedicine, and future needs.
