The 6 gigahertz band is near existing unlicensed. We will have economies of scale, and it offers big, wide channels.

fee diversion is terrible. It is bad. We should use every resource we have at the Commission and working with you on this committee to stop it.
They need about $12 billion to update to Next Generation 9-1-1, which will make them effective and all of us safer.
The homework gap is the cruelest part of the digital divide, but there are things we can do to solve it.
When we talk about 5G, we can't just talk about licensed airwaves. We have got to talk about unlicensed too.
It has been well over a year since we learned that there is a black market out there for where we are with our wireless phones.
I think the Chairman has done a good job of setting up the discussion for the 5.9 gigahertz band.
We have got to figure out how we have more symmetrical speeds to serve our agriculture future.
It is a terrific idea, Congressman, because there is no other policy tool we have had in history that has been as effective at diversifying the ownership of these properties.
We have got to fix the situation we have where our data is so inaccurate, we don't know if we are sending funds to the right place or not.
Absolutely. It is every American household with a television set or any device connected to it.
We need to put some requirements in our rules and learn from these disasters to make sure these problems do not happen again.
The rest of the world is running to 5G using mid-band spectrum. We are not doing that there in the United States and we are going to be left behind.
Your concerns are totally valid. We have before us a proposal to cut Lifeline by 70 percent.
I agree with you, Congressman. The best reading of the 2004 Appropriations Act is that it is up to Congress to make that change and I would add that the Wall Street Journal's editorial board seems to agree.
We have got to stop the threat to their Lifeline program. Half a million individuals in Puerto Rico rely on that program to stay connected.
This committee told us in the appropriations legislation last year we have to find 100 megahertz of spectrum below 8 gigahertz by 2022.
When the Government chooses a new standard, it gives special rights to patent holders, and as a condition of those special rights it is typically required reasonable and nondiscriminatory pricing.
We are going to cut off veterans, elderly, people recovering in Puerto Rico and so many other places if we cut this program as the Chairman has proposed.
We need to be up front with the American people about just what's happening.
