Jessica Rosenworcel: “We need more Wi-Fi. The sooner the better, and the place to look is the 5.9 gigahertz band and 6 gigahertz band.”

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

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

I think we have got to make sure that we figure out a way to get broadband to everyone in this country.
