Greg Walden actually said...
I am one of the members that pushed our leadership very, very hard to include a significant sum of money to make sure that we really reach people and build broadband out to them because the private sector simply was not doing it; it wasn't profitable to do it, and that is where I think there was a need for public attention to that because there was private sector inattention, and that was their prerogative to do whatever they did.
Context
