On the recordJune 25, 2019
I appreciate the gentleman's comments, and I actually live in a rural town of about 830 people, and last year we got internet. I was paying, up to that point--I got a half-price sale--$300 a month for 80 measured gigs of internet. And often in winter, I would call my husband at the end of a month and say: Quit watching Netflix. We can't afford $15 a gig in order to watch them. So my neighbors across the street couldn't do their homework because they didn't have broadband. Health facilities in our area have problems. I don't know if studying this is going to solve it. I think having funds available seems to be the issue, so I think this is important. Mr. Chair, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Quigley), chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government.
