Consumers don't like them and they don't like paying for them.

What happened 15 years ago on September 11 changed us all. It left an indelible mark.

If you don't have access to modern communications today, you don't have a fair shot at prosperity in the 21st century.

I believe it is our duty and a duty to our constituents to make sure that their money is only spent responsibly.

What we cannot support, however, is a fund that lacks external controls and is susceptible to waste, fraud, and abuse.

I don't think this is the way government should be handling the American people's dollars with cavalier disregard for basic fiscal discipline.

This is a law from 1991 and one of the challenges that the agency has right now...

This is something we can do at the agency.

It is absolutely necessary to have access to broadband to have a fair shot of prosperity in the digital age.

We're not looking to change it. We're just looking to modernize the system.

This month, at the FCC, we will begin the world's first spectrum incentive auction.

While we have only 5 percent of the globe's population, we have over one-third of its 4G deployment.

The good news is that the United States leads the world in the current generation of wireless technology known as 4G.

I don't like robocalls, and I think most people are not fond of them.

I think the homework gap is the cruelest part of our new digital divide, but it is within our power to bridge it and fix it.

By some measures, one-third of our Nation's real estate is owned by the Federal Government.

Privacy is a cherished principle, and it is also a complicated one in the digital age.

It is absolutely imperative that the FCC lead when we deal with this issue.

Thank you, Congresswoman Matsui, for the question.

The challenge, as you acknowledge, comes with the Congressional Budget Office, which reviews spectrum legislation and has a heavy bias towards spectrum that gets auctioned.

It is a huge part of our daily lives, and it is a huge part of our economy, responsible for more than $140 billion in economic activity annually.

Everyone in this room has probably used unlicensed spectrum today.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act is a law from 1991. It is old, and it treats wireless phones and wired phones differently.

I think shot clocks and deadlines are really important. They have a way of motivating us toward action.

I think the greatest value in that legislation is, candidly, we have some reports that we have to produce annually that are a waste of commission resources.
