I have no further requests for time, and I am prepared to close. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, this has been an interesting discussion on the floor this morning. For people who are tuned in, I think that I want…
I would note that the FCC chairman is not a Member of Congress. It is only Congress that can write a statute. The amendment that I offered codified--codified--that there would be no rate regulation of the Internet. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3…
It is never to be taken for granted what nonprofit and church organizations, charitable organizations do in our country.
I am disappointed that the subcommittee has once again chosen to target the FCC's Lifeline program.
A CURB Lifeline Act would deny millions of low-income Americans access to basic communication services.
That is what I came to Congress to do, so not to hurt anybody but to help people.
I think Georgia is because I just helped write the one for the state of Georgia.
Does it concern you that Kari's Law requires that these problems be fixed on only new phone systems purchased two years after enactment?
a challenge program such as that proposed by Representative Matsui may incentivize breakthroughs that can benefit consumers and our economy.
Copyright is important to all of us. We know that it is both the life blood of the more than one industry and they depend on it being protected.
I consider the legislation that got us here some of the most important work to have come out of our Subcommittee.
And that is why Ms. Eshoo and I and 168 of our colleagues wrote to Chairman Wheeler asking the Commission to use its authority under Section 317 to require the disclosure of donors for all of these front ads, front organization ads.
Since the Telecommunications Act opened everything up to competition, including set top boxes, the price of everything else has gone down 90 percent.
Know that we take these issues seriously and will continue to work closely with you and your team.
I hope the FCC makes sure that these changes are beneficial to the low-income consumers the program is designed to help.
It will not serve the American people if they are resolved in a manner that ignores opposing views.
We can't forget that low-income consumers still need to be able to make voice calls, especially 911 in the event of an emergency.
And until we get this kind of disclosure, billions and billions of dollars will be spent to deliberately deceive American voters.
I don't know why there is a defense of this abysmal record when we have an opportunity to open new doors to diverse programming.
Access to broadband is absolutely essential for participation in the 21st century economy.
Personally, I think that really is a further institutionalization of the deception of American public because this standard of editorial control is absolutely the most useless standard for the American people in trying to decide or trying…
I thank the gentleman for yielding me the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill, H.R. 4596, the Small Business Broadband Deployment Act. There has been a lot said about it, and anyone who tunes in, it is not as complicated as…
Kudos to each one of you. I think today's testimony is not only so well thought out, but I am very optimistic after listening to you.
