We have heard today about the GAO's second report on partnerships and how less than 1 percent of the FCC's funding has gone to tribes.

Thank you, Senator Udall, for stating that earlier in his opening statement.

I think that Congress should look at it.

Eighty percent of those living on tribal lands in New Mexico do not have access to broadband.

Do you have a timeline for us?

I expect your intention is to try to really get this updated so that we know what we are dealing with.

I can look at this map and tell you off the top of my head how flawed this map is.

When exactly will this Committee see accurate data from the E-Rate program about its work in tribal lands?

Among the many obstacles to closing the digital divide in Indian Country is the FCC's Eligible Telecommunications Carrier, or ETC designation.
