Sick and it insult to every American Family that loses a loved one to this evil disease i yield the floor and of the absence of a quorum. Internet has been a part of our daily lives for quite a while. Netflix, twitter, amazon, it has taken on new importance during the coronavirus pandemic to become a main source of connection with friends and family. Many people work from home to help prevent the spread of theso virus the main reason schools and colleges can continue teaching students and those Services Like telehealth allowsna doctors and other professionals to provide patient care but with all the new traffic is a much greater load on networks and that not all have held up to the strain inng europe and those to diminish the quality of videos networks have faced very few problems and there is a reason for that United States has very different regulatory regimes and those designed for telephone monopolies as a result of the heavyhanded regulation that discourages for investing in infrastructure and broadband expansion. Also the lack of reliable infrastructure for the internet performance in europe has suffered during the pandemic but the United States on the other hand is much different with a few exceptions with the mps on imposition of Net Neutrality our country has taken a light touch approach to internet regulation to encourage companies to invest in the latest Communication Infrastructure to make more efficient use of spectrum and thanks to that investment when coronavirus hit networks are ready. Despite the additional burden they can have the same high speeds and quality that they enjoy most americans are using four g networks but the next generation of 5g is here they are starting to be deployed including south dakota. If we want the United States to handle 5g like we did four g. And we still have work to do one thing that is essential is to maintain the regulatory approach that has produced sost much investment and innovation despite the success of light touch regulation theres always a segment pushing for greater information from the internet someone democrats briefly succeeded in forcing heavier government regulation as part of the Obama Presidency that Infrastructure Investment dropped significantly and only rebounded when the sec will back those heavyhanded regulations United States still has more work to f do necessary for 5g. What those cell phone towers. Po and to be attached to the existing infrastructure to make it easier to deploy the small cells . It doesnt it took wireless infrastructure. It is a key part of the 5g equation. And what we commonly call the airwaves. Radio spectrum is divided into bands, low, mid and high in 5g will rely on all three. And then to free up more spectrum with the 5g employment. In this past november the senator and i introduce the 5g spectrum act to require the sec to free up sounded band spectrum referred to as the see band. Congress did not enactat the end of february and a way to adopt the framework similar to that outlined in the bill to make 200 megahertzf available. And then to have approximately 50000 new construction jobs b each year. That is just for construction just enough workers with the necessary training to meet the needs of nationwide 5g thats why earlier this year i introducedrk the telecommunication Skilled Workforce act my bill would help increase the number ofro workers of 5g Training Programs and identify ways to grow the Telecommunications Workforce to meet the demands ofm 5g. The coronavirus has shown us the results of robust investment. Strong networks that can handle a surge of internet traffic. We need to make sure we are putting in the necessary work and investment that the 5g networks are just as strong the 5g future is here lets make sure the United States is ready. Before we fill in a few minutes i want to just make a couple of remarks with respect to coronavirus legislation he further democrats come down here and attack republicans for not wanting to do more legislation or more spending which they know is not accurate republicans will do whatever iter takes to help america recover to deal with the Health Emergency which is why we have invested tens of dollars in vaccines and therapeutics in testing, all the things necessary to get the Health Care Crisis to get back out in the economy. The Economic Impacts the bills that we passed, we passed for and the combined amount is almost 3 trillion focused on families with direct assistance, workers keep being workers employed that is a band to allow Small Businesses to operate and keep workers employed and those have lost jobs with the Unemployment Insurance accounts supported at the state level but significantly increased in terms of funding for the federal government and of course to focus directly on those Healthcare Professionals and workers on the front lines make sure ppn ventilators not only to protect themselves but care for the patients and that as i have said investing heavily in those things that the antiviral therapeutics those are things we have done already. Now what you saw last week but the house of representatives blow into town for a 24 hour period with a massive 3 trilliondollar bill passed in a gift bag for special Interest Groups and little to do with respect to the coronavirus i would argue not only do they not know the need because the dollars we have pushed out are in the pipeline we dont know what state and local governments need in terms of revenue replacement and a lot of dollars still going out to Healthcare Providers and Nursing Homes much has not been spent yet. And then have a Paycheck Protection Program and hasnt run out of funding yet either. And what has already been dispersed to address the crisis. And that fantasy of all the things they like to get done very few deal with the crisis at hand and so mucht so 1800 pages long 3 trillion of new spending not knowing the effective dollars and the need for additional spending but included like funding for studies in that inclusion of the marketing of cannabis is that really something thats relevant to battle the coronavirus . And the one tax cut dramatically cuts taxes and 56 percent of thatt tax cut to go to the top 1 percent that is what it was included. And then to suggest for a minute what the house did that they are completely missing the point of what the American People need in theee crisis and there is support there for Small Businesses and workers and we are committed to see we have a vaccines inr place to enable us to fight and win the battle of the coronavirus. Thats what we are focused on not this crazy wish list of things of the house in a short 24 hours came to vote on and much of which was focused on the permanent agenda rather than the task at hand which is addressing the crisis in front of us. I hope thef colleagues will be in a bipartisan way to deal with the very real challenges faced by the American People and with that ideological wish list that doesnt deal with the task at hand. I yield the floor. I would like to talk for a few minutes about china. China is a wonderful country one. Four, one. 5 billion people by comparison what you see reported one. 2 million
