"If every dollar spent on needless regulation is a dollar that can't be spent on rural America."

"I think we need, those of us who represent rural America, some concrete build-out rules that can give us concrete confidence that somehow, some way, the system is going to serve rural America."

"So let's just say we agree on regulations because we don't want to make it more expensive, but there has got to be some money that goes into it without the rural America having to beg for everything."

"the real issue here is, frankly, my skepticism that the investments that will be required for 5G will be made in rural areas."
