                             MOBILE NOW Act

  Mr. President, as a former chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee 
and current chair of the Commerce Subcommittee on Communications, 
Technology, Innovation, and the Internet, I have spent a lot of time 
over the last few years focused on Internet, communications, and data 
privacy issues.
  One big priority of mine has been paving the way for 5G--the next 
generation of wireless technology--ensuring that rural areas and not 
just big cities get this technology.
  Last year, the President signed the law, my bipartisan MOBILE NOW 
Act, which was legislation I introduced to help secure adequate 
spectrum for 5G technology.
