No matter who you are or where you live in this country, for a fair shot at 21st-century prosperity, you need access to first-rate, modern communications.

So I think it would be smart to have a rulemaking to take what we know from those settlements and make sure that those kind of scams and fees don't show up on your wireless bill from the very start.

I think updating the Spectrum Relocation Fund so that it will fund those projects would be great help.

We have got to find ways to make sure that rural America is not left behind in the wireless revolution.

It is absolutely essential that Federal authorities, which control as much as 60 percent of our vital airwaves, that those Federal authorities start seeing some incentives to be efficient with those airwaves so that when reallocation comes…

Lifeline has the potential to help alleviate this problem.

It is also important that we make sure that everyone has opportunities to bid in this upcoming auction.

Television is going to change more in the next couple of years than it has over the last several decades.
