Jessica Rosenworcel: “Thank you for providing full funding for the FCC in your fiscal year 2024 bill.”

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

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.

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