WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2025 – The House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology will hold a hearing that is likely to criticize the Biden Administration’s policies on rural broadband.
The hearing, titled Fixing Biden’s Broadband Blunder, has been scheduled by Subcommittee Chairman Richard Hudson, R-N.C., and Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., to take place Wednesday, March 5th at 2:00 p.m. ET.
Hudson and Guthrie said in a joint statement that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris underdelivered on broadband issues. They also hope to expand connectivity in the coming Congress.

The Federal Communications Commission is seeking comment on the proposal.
Wulfsen argued that fiber is a better long-term investment than satellite.
