Statement from USTelecom:

“The U.S. telecom industry prioritizes the health and safety of its communities and workers. We will continue to follow the science, which has not identified that lead-sheathed telecom cables are a leading cause of lead exposure or the cause of a public health issue. And recent federal, state, and industry testing has reinforced this point. Our industry remains committed to engaging constructively with stakeholders, including policymakers, on this important matter.”
