For my last hurrah as Digital Progress Institute prez, I published my written testimony in favor of TX's App Store Accountability Act (w/ citations). Angela Paxton & Caroline Fairly for Texas have developed an impeccable bill that will protect kids & hold #BigTech accountable! medium.com/p/written-test…

Yes, all of this. The #5G race is a digital arms race with the CCP. We have the solutions and the ability to win the 5G digital arms race. But Congress and the FCC need to get this done so that America can lead the free world in wireless innovation.

Today, the Digital Progress Institute formally asked Speaker Mike Johnson Hakeem Jeffries Rep. Brett Guthrie & Rep. Frank Pallone to include a bill that creates a spectrum pipeline & restores the FCC’s auction authority to the budget proposal. This ensures the bipartisan goal of promoting our wireless networks

Proud to lead a bipartisan coalition to support U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division, led by Abigail Slater, having full access to merger filing fees. With major ongoing cases against deep-pocketed Google, Apple, and others, the agency can't have its hands tied by Congress.

The Take It Down Act demonstrates how Congress can bring about thoughtful proposals to mitigate the real harms of emerging technologies while not trampling on free speech and economic opportunity. My latest for WORLD

The bill would open up 800 MHz of prime spectrum. This is very easy to achieve as it opens the door for the FCC to auction portions of 4 GHz—having 500 MHz of actionable spectrum alone—and 7 GHz. All of this doesn't even include other revenue-generating opportunities, like
