Jessica Rosenworcel: “Access to broadband is essential for prosperity in the 21st century.”

The covered list is a list of equipment that our Nation's National Security authorities have found to be insecure.

We need an additional $3.08 billion to fully take that equipment out securely.

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.
