The association bases its approaches on whether or not policies are flexible in their application to rural carriers that have different needs and capabilities and that have far different economies of scale and competitive opportunities than larger carriers.\n\nThere were issues where the association did not focus on legislation itself, but rather focused on concepts and worked with different members of Congress to help them understand the related issues and/or to develop and distribute some form of public statement on the given subject. For example we worked with a number of offices to try to ensure that the Federal Communications Commission understood that there were many members of Congress that are opposed to a drastic modifications in the universal service and intercarrier compensation cost recovery mechanisms that rural providers rely upon.
