We need better maps. Our maps right now don't reflect what it really looks like on the ground.

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.

Let's commit now to a plan to ensure that every one of them has access to the high-speed service they need by 2020.

I recognize how important this program is to Alaska.

Our effort to map where broadband is and is not in this country should not begin and end here in Washington.

Let's reiterate the FCC's support for the First Amendment and commit to media policies that ensure news organizations can report without fear or favor.

Let's decide to raise it to 100 megabits. Let's make sure every school has gigabit speeds in their sites, and let's ensure every rural healthcare facility has the speed they need for the newest innovations in telemedicine.

Too often during the last year the agency acted at the behest of the corporate forces that surround it, shortchanging the American people.

We gave them the legal right to block websites and censor online content.

Now our broadband providers will tell you they will never do these things. They say just trust us.

We have to go out to the American public and private sector actors and get their assistance and help before we distribute billions of dollars.

We need to have some smaller licenses so some smaller companies that want to serve rural communities have a fair shot of bidding for them.

I'm worried that we are losing localism in broadcasting.

It's not good for anyone who consumes or creates online.

We need a spectrum calendar. We need to tell the wireless ecosystem, from carriers to equipment manufacturers to consumers, just how and when the FCC will auction new airwaves to support 5G wireless services.

Too many Americans lack access to broadband. Let's put a number on it. Right now, 24 million Americans have no high-speed service. This is not acceptable. We need to do better.

This idea that everyone is just going to stream educational content for children easily in a cost-free way is flawed.

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.

Cybersecurity is no longer some siloed notion.

I do not think we need additional authority, but we would always welcome it.

We need to start going out to the American public and figuring out a way to crowd source their assistance.

Right now, 24 million Americans do not have access to high-speed service. That is not acceptable. We need to do better.

I think those are serious issues of character qualification under Title III of our statute.

I believe that recent actions by the FCC have prioritized corporations over consumers...

Yes, we are going to need smaller license sizes if we want wireless providers to serve rural America with this band.
