CHAIRMAN PAI STATEMENT ON
WHITE HOUSE INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN
WASHINGTON, February 12, 2018—Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit 
Pai released the following statement regarding the White House’s infrastructure plan:
“Too often, regulatory barriers make it harder and more expensive to build out broadband than 
it needs to be—to the detriment of American consumers.  That’s why this plan is a welcome 
and strong call to action.  I stand ready to work with the Administration and Congress to turn 
this plan into a reality as we continue to bridge the digital divide and extend 5G digital 
opportunity to all Americans.”
