Michael O’Rielly | Close ties to ALEC and other ‘telco funded groups’. Pro 5G but never discusses it requires a fiber optic wire every few blocks. |

ALEC et al. | AT&T, Verizon control through ALEC and funding politicians. Model legislation is created that mimics the FCC’s plans, and then it goes to state-based politicians, funded by the companies, to pass the bills. |
