both the fcc and f.t.c. have responsibility to expand connectivity and promote the protection of consumers online. this morning we'll be voting on the nomination of jessica woaz roesten worsele to be commissioner of the federal communications commission. if confirmed she will continue to lead the agency's important work to ensure that every american has access to reliable, affordable broadband. having strong leadership at the helm. fcc to implement the broadband investments could not be more important. i look forward to her confirmation this morning. next we have a commissioner of the federal trade commission, the f.t.c. is responsible for protecting consumers from unfair and deceptive practices, especially online and enforcing the nation's antitrust laws. he has the experience and expertise in privacy that the commission needs at this critical moment. he has bipartisan support from all the sitting commissioners and the chair of the f.t.c. and has experience working across the aisle. he has also the support

sohn at the fcc. i will note that when chairman rosenworcel was your in front of the committee for her hearing when asked about the broadband map, how would you describe it quick she said it reminds me of what someone else said they think. mr. davidson, it's going to be hard for me to want to move forward on your nomination if we don't get confirmation from both you and the secretary of commerce that you understand the digital divide aspect of this. we have mapping that's hn presented to our committee from the private sector that already shows that 70% of the problem is on affordability, not necessarily on access in hard to serve areas. we want to do both but we need her that there is a commitment to having accurate mapping and to actually have this resource go to that community. because if the majority of the people are lacking the resources, it's not about whether connectivity is just down the block. it is about what ever going to do about affordability. so ms. sohn i will start with you and then mr

it's something like 260 times an fcc decisions. so definitely influential voice and fantastic run for 15 years. so kudos to you and the organization. it's really been an invaluable resource to those of us at the commission. while reflecting, maybe i'll start back a few years ago. we look back to 2016. when it came to 5g build in this country, the outlook wasn't really the great back then. you had ernst and young, deloitte, saying that 5g, the u.s. was on the verge of getting completely left behind by china and other countries. i think it was deloitte that said china was about to unleash a 5g tsunami. maybe near impossible for the u.s. to catch up. and a lot of ways, they were right. back then, it costs too much to bill internet and fix structure. it took too long. the dais supported those conclusions. back then, the u.s. was building about three new cell sites every single day. at a point time when china was putting up 460 new cell sites a day. so, what it was taking us for years to build in terms of wireless infrastructure, china

in addition to the fcc's covid-19 telehealth program, the fcc's universal service fund provides support for the rural health care program and for the connected care pilot program which was spearheaded by commissioner carr. i appreciate commissioner carr taking the time to speak with us today about these programs. it's my hope that we will see you again soon before this committee, as there are many other important issues at the fcc of interest to members here. and lastly, i'd like to extend my thanks to miss deanna larson, who's the president of a valley care for joining us today. as president of a valley care, miss larson has helped advance telehealth services across many areas in the midwest. thank you to all of the witnesses for being here today and i look forward to hearing from you. thank you, mr. chairman. sen. lujan: i now recognize the ranking member wicker for opening remarks. sen. wicker: thank you very much chairman luhan and senator thune for convening this important hearing on telehealth. we've got someone here from south dakota, you have someone here from new mexico, and us
