IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 11, 2018 
Mr. HUDSON submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Energy and Commerce 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
any infrastructure legislation that provides Federal funds 
to wireless broadband providers to promote wireless 
broadband deployment should prioritize funds for wire-
less broadband providers in States that have enacted 
streamlined siting requirements for small cells. 
Whereas wireless broadband brings extraordinary opportuni-
ties for economic growth and investment across every sec-
tor of the economy; 
Whereas wireless broadband is in the midst of a revolution 
to fifth generation technology that will bring about 
speeds estimated anywhere from 10 to 100 times faster 
than existing LTE wireless technology;

•HRES 689 IH 
Whereas the development and deployment of fifth generation 
wireless broadband will increase efficiencies for virtually 
every industry and economic sector of the United States 
economy; 
Whereas the broader economic benefits of fifth generation 
wireless broadband may include 2.2 million jobs and add 
roughly $420 billion in gross domestic product; 
Whereas the United States is competing with other countries 
and regions around the world to deploy fifth generation 
wireless broadband first to reap the greatest economic 
gains from this technology; 
Whereas cost estimates to deploy fifth generation technology 
across the United States exceed $300 billion; 
Whereas current siting regulations were designed for tradi-
tional large towers used by previous generations of tech-
nology, while fifth generation wireless technology will be 
enabled by a densified network of small cells; and 
Whereas roughly a dozen States have already enacted legisla-
tion to streamline small cell siting regulations: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that any infrastructure legislation that pro-
vides Federal funds to wireless broadband providers to 
promote wireless broadband deployment should prioritize 
funds for wireless broadband providers in States that have 
enacted streamlined siting requirements for small cells.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that no Federal funds 
granted, awarded, or loaned pursuant to any legislation, infrastructure-

there is an existing broadband provider that meets certain minimum

where there is an existing broadband provider that meets

Whereas the broadband industry, including wireline and wire-

Whereas the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 
2009 (ARRA) included an unprecedented $7.2 billion in 
broadband deployment funding; 
Whereas there were allegations of waste and inefficiencies in 
ARRA grant programs; 
Whereas the Federal Government should not compete with 
the private sector in broadband access or deployment; 
Whereas the Federal Government should not pick winners 
and losers in a local broadband market by providing 
loans, grants, or subsidies to one provider over another; 
Whereas broadband internet access is the infrastructure of 
the 21st century and crucial to economic development; 
Whereas the digital divide is real for many Americans, espe-
cially in rural areas with no access to broadband; and 
Whereas in order to decrease the digital divide efficiently, 
limited Federal dollars should be focused on areas of the 
country unserved by broadband: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that no Federal funds granted, awarded, or 
loaned pursuant to any legislation, infrastructure-specific 
or otherwise, should be used to fund the construction, im-
provement, or acquisition of broadband facilities or service

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that

Whereas wireline, wireless, and cable broadband providers 
collectively invested $76 billion in 2016, and roughly $1.6 
trillion since 1996; 
Whereas wireline, wireless, and cable broadband providers are 
consistently ranked among the top companies investing 
annually in the United States; 
Whereas broadband traffic over wireline, wireless, and cable 
technologies continues to grow at an exponential rate; 
and 
Whereas world-class communications networks will require a 
complementary mix of wireline, wireless, cable, and any 
other technology capable of transmitting voice, video, or 
data communications services using Internet Protocol or 
any successor protocol-enabled service: Now, therefore, be

Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that any infrastructure legislation to promote
