Jessica Rosenworcel: “We need an additional $3.08 billion to fully take that equipment out securely.”

I have developed something called the Broadband Funding Map using $10 million in direct appropriations set aside in the IIJA.

I strongly support identifying a way to fund the Affordable Connectivity Program into the future to help more families get and stay connected to the high-speed Internet they need to participate in modern life.

I want to emphasize how much we do need that authority back.

We need to update it from time to time and reaching out to them regularly as we do has been useful.
