Quotable

“It is so damn expensive to lay broadband in rural America. I don’t know how you’re ever going to get competition. I just don’t know unless we’re willing to lay several lines or, I don’t know, you guys probably make rules that force other companies to be able to use the lines or whatever. I just don’t know how we do it. In a grocery store, we get more food manufacturers. In energy, we’ll get more people that are creating energy, whether it is carbon-based or renewable. This one is just a different marketplace that somewhat holds the consumer at a big disadvantage. You don’t have to say anything. I had to get it off my chest.”
– Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) speaking to witnesses at the Senate Communications Subcommittee’s “The Future of Broadband Affordability” hearing
