"I believe it is incumbent upon Congress to support unlicensed spectrum and continue to create space for innovation."
"Those were the three basic things that this rule said."

"Hon. Michael F. Doyle, a Representative in Congress from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, opening statement."
"The state and future of 911 systems in this country is a critical issue."
"We need to ensure that they have a strong partner in the federal government that is able to direct funding, expertise, and scale at this challenge."
"I am disappointed that we are sitting here today without a clear idea of how much upgrading our nation's 911 infrastructure will cost."
"We need national solutions because citizens will not adopt these new technologies if they are not uniformly deployed and uniformly functional on a national basis."
"America's 911 systems need another kickstart, the kickstart that can start right here in the Congress of the United States."
"The expectation is by you, me, and us that that 911 fee or tax is going to go to funding and improving the 911 systems."
"opening statement"
"Access to affordable broadband remains one of the great challenges faced by people in this country, and far too many people in this country either have no access, limited access, or overpriced access."
