Jessica Rosenworcel: “Your concerns are totally valid. We have before us a proposal to cut Lifeline by 70 percent.”

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

We can't do this on our own. We have got to find like-minded nations and then work with others.

I think that if we choose to take this equipment out of our networks and fully fund its replacement costs, we have to go tell everyone around the world that we chose to do that.

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