At a public hearing in March, Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar said the actual amount needed would be closer to $10 billion. State Rep. Trent Ashby, right, shown with House Speaker Dade Phelan in March 2021, is behind a bill that would ask voters in November whether the state can spend $5 billion and create the Texas Broadband Infrastructure Fund.
