The U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, will convene three hearings next week on the infrastructure proposal released by the White House, including a full committee hearing on March 14 with Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and Department of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
Two of the hearings concern wireless readers. On March 13, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) will kick off the series of hearings by chairing a hearing of the Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation and the Internet titled, “Rebuilding Infrastructure in America: Investing in Next Generation Broadband.” Invited witnesses include representatives from the Competitive Carriers Association, CTIA – The Wireless Association, NTCA – The Rural Broadband Association and TDS Telecom.
Ross and Chao testify before the full Senate Commerce Committee on March 14 at the hearing titled: “Rebuilding Infrastructure in America: Administration Perspectives.”
“These hearings will help guide our efforts to write bipartisan infrastructure legislation meeting the needs of our communities,” said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), chairman of the full committee. “These subcommittee hearings will inform our bipartisan conversation with Secretary Chao and Secretary Ross on how the administration’s proposal would align federal resources with our most pressing infrastructure needs.”
