Jessica Rosenworcel: “The broadband beneath us and the airwaves all around us are the roads, ports, and canals of the 21st century.”

I signed a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Commerce because they have a lot of programs like BEAD.

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 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.

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