The Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) is an international, not-for-profit trade association representing a broad spectrum of communications and technology companies. The non-profit company is based in Washington, DC and has subsidiaries in Belgium. CCIA advocates for open markets, open systems, and open networks, emphasizing the role of intermediaries such as telecommunications and online service providers in supporting the internet economy and e-commerce. The association engages in policy advocacy, litigation, and research across areas including artificial intelligence, competition, copyright, cybersecurity, innovation policy, internet governance, online safety, patents, privacy, sustainability, telecom, and trade. CCIA opposes legal measures that impose undue liability on intermediaries for third-party content and supports balanced copyright policies that reward creators while promoting innovation and fair use. It also focuses on removing digital trade barriers and supports free trade agreements to strengthen internet service norms. The CCIA litigation center challenges laws that threaten free speech, competition, and innovation, and its research center provides empirical data and economic analysis to inform policymakers and the public on digital economy issues.
