Keeping these other agencies reporting to us about where their grants are going is a really important part.

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

Our authority to grant licenses expired on March 9, 2023.

If I had a magic wand, I would make it simpler.

We are going to the World Radio Conference. That is a conference where global spectrum authorities gather every 4 years to discuss their plans for the wireless future.

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

This one-time effort developed during the early days of the pandemic was designed to assist students and library patrons with access to connections and devices.
