California’s radical “net neutrality” law threatens to eliminate free telehealth services for veterans. While some want to nationalize this approach, @GOPLeader, @RepBost, & fellow Republicans are standing up for veterans & against this regressive approach to free data services. https://t.co/b1y8AFZOCK — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Price tag aside, the Democrats’ approach is plagued with substantive flaws that will only make it harder to close the digital divide. For one, it dedicates funding to overbuild existing high-speed networks, rather than prioritizing families that still have no Internet today. https://t.co/wkitm4wq3b — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Despite this, the Democrats’ proposal makes no effort to determine how far these existing funds will go or to tailor the size of their legislation to any needs that might remain after we spend these billions. Measure never, cut checks often appears to be Washington’s new proverb — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

But wait, there’s more! Congress just sent $360 billion to the Treasury Department and $190 billion to the Department of Education for a variety of projects, including broadband. Nearly all of those funds remain unspent as well. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Think about that. As a candidate in 2020, President Biden pledged a moonshot $20 billion for rural broadband. We now have double that amount waiting to be distributed. Yet Democrats are poised to pour a hundred billion dollars on top of those billions upon billions of unspent $$ — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

To start, the Democrats’ plan ignores the billions upon billions of dollars the FCC already has in the pipeline for expanding Internet service. That’s over $40 billion. And here’s the kicker, not one penny of this funding has gone out the door. https://t.co/1B4uTdtKuF — PolitiTweet.org

@mikeconlow There’s a bit of a delta between “no broadband spending” and my argument in favor of administering $40 billion *plus* additional support needed after that. — PolitiTweet.org

@mikeconlow You ... you did the thing where you didn’t read the op-ed or are you just intentionally misrepresenting my argument ? — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Since President Biden unveiled his $2T “American Jobs Plan,” the debate has focused on an existential — or at least definitional — question. What is infrastructure? The $100B broadband portion clears that definitional hurdle in my view. The problem is the plan itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

President Biden just unveiled a $100 billion broadband infrastructure plan that is a road map for waste, fraud, and abuse. It’s not building back better, it’s barreling towards a broadband blunder. My op-ed in @TheHill https://t.co/dDD9Bo82I7 — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Can confirm. It is time for the FCC to close this national security loophole. I have put forward a plan that would do just that. ➡️ https://t.co/hwXrZQQna3 — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to the Uyghur Human Rights Project @UyghurProject for supporting my call for stronger FCC action on Communist China’s Xinjiang genocide and human rights abuses. No business should be profiting from the CCP’s forced labor regime. https://t.co/u18q4ooH7Y — PolitiTweet.org

The telehealth initiative Ms Annie told be about 3 years ago provided the foundation for the FCC to establish $550M in new telehealth programs. Ms Annie was thrilled to learn today how the programs she inspired helped support a nationwide surge in telehealth over the past year. https://t.co/yPRvqJk5UA — PolitiTweet.org

3 years ago, I met Ms Annie here in Ruleville, Mississippi after @SenatorWicker highlighted the pioneering telehealth work in the Delta. Her story inspired the FCC to stand up a new, innovative, & nationwide telehealth program. Great to reconnect with Ms Annie today #CarrTrip https://t.co/KYyGoMuBvS — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

In Batesville, Mississippi, an Internet provider that was building 40 miles of high-speed fiber a month through this rural area is now adding over 100 miles a month thanks to a 2020 FCC initiative and @SenatorWicker’s focus on rural connectivity. #CarrTrip https://t.co/O4aMQBAU08 — PolitiTweet.org

The FCC should now move quickly to reinstate the incubator program that the agency adopted for promoting diversity, which a lower court had set aside. https://t.co/XyAnvOrLuT — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

As local newsrooms shuttered by the dozen, outdated FCC regulations only made it harder for them to compete with online behemoths. Glad the Supreme Court just affirmed the FCC’s modernization efforts, which had been blocked up to now. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Great to be back in Mississippi with @SenatorWicker In 2018, Sen. Wicker highlighted pioneering telehealth work in Ruleville. That pilot provided the foundation for a now $550M nationwide telehealth initiative. Look forward to reconnecting with the Ruleville team. #CarrTrip https://t.co/4doE6KswhC — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

The build out of high-speed Internet services accelerated at a record clip over the past 4 years because we modernized infrastructure rules. This brought millions of Americans across the digital divide. We should double down on those successful policies, not double back on them. https://t.co/O1JilwqIGZ — PolitiTweet.org

When Communist China’s propaganda outlet, The Global Times, disagrees with you, it’s a pretty good sign you’re on to something. https://t.co/xzivWp1ZXx — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Looking backwards to 1930s utility regulation and our nation’s crumbling power grid as a model for high-speed Internet is a mistake. This isn’t building back better, this is barreling towards a broadband blunder. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

@SpokespersonCHN Communist China must not profit from its ongoing genocide in Xinjiang. That’s why I’ve called for the FCC to ban all devices made with Uyghur forced labor, shining a light on the CCP’s human rights abuses: https://t.co/4a4XHAuSCw — PolitiTweet.org
