Jessica Rosenworcel
The Public Record
Jessica Rosenworcel is a prominent Democratic politician from Connecticut, currently serving as a Commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). She was first appointed to the FCC in 2012 and has been a strong advocate for expanding broadband access and ensuring equitable communication services across the United States. Rosenworcel has focused on issues such as net neutrality and the importance of keeping communication networks robust and accessible for all citizens.
We should know if you have service or if you do not have service because if we do not know that fact, we will take scarce Federal dollars and we may not necessarily direct them to the right places.
I believe considering that the FCC fully pays for itself through fees, this funding level is too low.
We're going to have to figure out how to make sure that this channel for public comment in Washington is bolstered.
We need to be taking it seriously, because there's fraud that supported this outcome.
The problem is that work from the state attorneys general have identified that many of them were fraudulent.
We need to step up our game and make some changes. We need call authentication technologies that are required.
Regular contact with family and kin is not just good for them, it helps all of us because it reduces recidivism.
That does not look good. And it leaves me concerned that this is the way that mergers are taking place in this country today.
The U.S. has 5 percent of the world's population but we have over 50 percent of the world's 4G deployment.
The Dig Once Act is important, because if you decide that when you open up the roadways and you throw in some fiber, you only add one percent to the cost of a transportation project, but you secure a community's future.
We need to start going out to the American public and figuring out a way to crowd source their assistance.
There are 2.7 million children in this country with a parent in prison, and most of them can't stay in contact because the cost of a single call is what you and I spend for our monthly plans. This is outrageous. We should be fixing it.
This idea that everyone is just going to stream educational content for children easily in a cost-free way is flawed.
Our effort to map where broadband is and is not in this country should not begin and end here in Washington.
Protection of the safety of life and property is in the very first sentence of the Communications Act.
Now our broadband providers will tell you they will never do these things. They say just trust us.
I do not think we need additional authority, but we would always welcome it.
