Mississippi has organized state efforts by creating GoCoast 2020 to serve as the official advisory body for the allocation of funds under the RESTORE Act.

We must take action to restore our environment and economy.

We must make it a priority to increase the availability of spectrum for commercial use, both licensed and unlicensed, as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, some voices, including the Department of Justice, are calling for the Federal Communications Commission to micromanage the allocation of spectrum among wireless carriers.

The rapid migration to wireless raises a number of critical issues for policymakers.

In my opinion, that shows the importance of the role of the commander and why we want him in the system.

You say you reject the status quo, and yet you say we have the tools.

The prominent theme of this hearing... was the need to continue to shape the culture of the military into one in which all servicemembers are treated with respect and dignity.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

One of the key issues for Congress to consider is how to maximize commercial access to spectrum.

The FCC began using spectrum auctions because we recognized that the free market is more effective at allocating spectrum than relying on the opinions and predictions of unelected bureaucrats.

The ability to communicate with others and to get online without being tethered by a cord is no longer a luxury for many people; it is a necessity.

Today, our focus is on the state of wireless communications in the United States.

This band was identified in the FCC's National Broadband Plan for its commercial potential.

I believe the Commission should not pick winners or losers among individual companies, but, instead, let all interested participants freely compete against one another in the open market.

Senator Wicker noted, reminding us of broadcasters' important role as first informers.

The unregulated video media marketplace has truly thrived.

Again, thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this timely hearing. I think the attendance we already have testifies to the importance of it.

I am eager to learn how policymakers can ensure that the video delivery ecosystem continues on this path of exponential growth.

This is a good time to examine the truly vibrant, growing, and multifaceted video marketplace.

When will it ever be less fast-moving than it is now? And when will we ever not be in a transition era?
