Greg Walden (R-Hood River) today applauded two executive orders signed by President Trump aimed at improving rural broadband. Too many rural communities in Oregon lack the broadband access they need to join the 21st century economy, said Walden. I hear this all too frequently from my constituents, and insufficient internet access leaves nearly 23 million Americans across the country without access to telemedicine, streaming video, distance learning, and more. The executive orders signed by President Trump bring us closer to spanning the digital divide and helping Oregonians and all Americans fully realize the innovations made possible by broadband, no matter where they live. The executive orders signed by the President today aim to streamline and expedite requests for rural broadband projects, and direct the Department of the Interior to develop plans to support rural broadband development by increasing access to tower facilities and other infrastructure assets managed by the department. Todays action comes as Walden continues to lead the effort to improve mobile broadband, make broadband spectrum more available to consumers, and increase access to telemedicine services and other 21st century technology that requires broadband connectivity in rural Oregon and across the country.
