At Leap, our success relies upon our continued ability to create affordable wireless access for all. For many of our Cricket customers, our services provide access to education, government services, healthcare, employment opportunities, and so much more. We are passionate about creating and preserving these opportunities for people to enjoy wireless services at an extraordinary value.
Our government affairs department is committed to driving positive change for our customers – and for our company. We achieve this by maintaining an active, ongoing dialogue with the legislative and regulatory bodies that oversee our industry. It is our goal to support issues that help create a competitive market environment, in order to safeguard our ability to offer customers value. To this end, we build relationships with legislators and regulators through discussions, education, and political participation. We serve on coalitions and speak with state public utility commissions. We file frequent regulatory comments on pending policy issues, and we are active in industry associations. Whether we are working to remove artificial barriers to entry that drive up operating costs and price points or championing legislation that protects market opportunities for new entrants and mid-sized wireless companies, we are constantly engaging our collective voice to advocate for our business, and for our customers.
