Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses for being with us today.

I want to build on some of the questioning that took place earlier from some of my colleagues. It essentially revolves around the idea of “Why now?”

Mr. Natale, you talk about the notion of scale and scope and $26 billion being required to afford that move to 5G. We've heard about the wholesale access rates and the spectrum decisions that are upcoming, so why is this merger required now?
