'The Supporting National Security with Spectrum Act is vital to our national security and to ensure rural communities do not lose access to basic connectivity... Rural and remote areas [could] be hit the hardest as networks could shut down,' suggested Pfluger, underscoring the potential impact on critical communication services.
