CCIA

The organisation operates as an industry trade association that creates value by representing a cross‑section of communications and technology firms in policy and regulatory debates. It runs focused initiatives and content platforms on issues such as competition, patent reform and the connected economy, and provides members with advocacy, research output, policy engagement opportunities and convenings. Value is created through collective lobbying, production of economic and legal analysis, and public‑facing content that shapes the regulatory environment for member firms.

CCIA is an international, non‑profit trade association representing communications and technology companies. It focuses on policy advocacy and research around competition, intellectual property, privacy and the connected economy, and operates blogs, research initiatives and events to influence technology policy debates.

The association generates income primarily from tiered corporate membership dues based on members’ gross revenue from technology‑related activities, supplemented by sponsorships, commissioned research and events. Its customers are member companies across the computer, communications and information sectors, along with policymakers and stakeholders who consume its research and policy content but generally do not pay directly.
