it should not be held at the fcc. and we are going to see this come back i think even as we look at hearings and look at the way the fcc is trying to approach this. we are going to see the industry come to congress and say with a minute. with the fcc is doing by putting this stranglehold is prohibiting all of our innovators from bringing those next generation technologies on to the internet and being able to do so with some predictability. when you look at our innovative and creative community and look at some of what are now the core services on the internet, things like the voice, video conferencing, the use of skype, telemedicine in all of our health i.t. proposals and provisions that are out there house last next generations of those innovations. we want to make certain that those innovators can move those services onto the internet and on to that pipeline with predictability, with a certain amount of certainty, and if those innovators are going to get caught up with regulatory interference by the fcc, we may be c

my concern is, what about the next fcc? these rules or wide open for interpretation and depending on what your ideology is, it could be interpreted in a way that protects consumers and in a way that doesn't. >> they talked about some of the legal arguments made. >> despite the desires of some, congress has not established a new title of the act to police the internet network management, not even implicitly. and these saltatory authority is perhaps why members of congress introduced legislation to give the sec these powers. the act already gave the commission this. what was legislation needed in the first place? i am concerned that this leaky ship is sailing through a regulatory fog without the necessary balance of factual or legal substance. in another act of legal sleight of hand, the order claims that it is not an attempt to classify broadband services, but it is functionally what the majority is morning to do title three licensed wireless service and title six video services by subjected them to nondiscrimination obligat

fcc, you need to get out of the way. that is why when listening to the chairman -- it is a hypothetical problem. no one has said the internet is broken. no one has said it does not work. no one has said it does not need -- no one has said it needs government interference. much of what is taking place is because of what has happened in our internet interactive technology. look at the spectrum hearings and the work that was done there. spectrum is now something we look at as a commodity that provides a platform for this innovation to take place. what you see happening is the fcc is beginning to say, you all came in, you get, you bought spectrum, you launched broadband, that has been successful. you have launched a lot of the voice, video and data technologies, and we have seen conversions of this. we have seen the cost of access come down. you are doing a great job on that, so much so that we want to step in and regulate it so that we can tax it so that we can take our share. we know that when that happens you begin to see

that includes many offices and euros at the fcc. -- bureaus at the fcc. many others working hard behind them, including our office of general counsel, office of strategic planning, engineering and technology, wireline, wireless, media and consumer international bureaus, broadband -- it is horizontal, stretches across the commission. we find increasingly that almost everything we work on requires coordination and collaboration among our staff, and we see it as a healthy, productive, internet -- different issues easy to hard i appreciate that. i want to join my colleagues thanking all of the staff on the eighth floor. in particular, the extraordinary team i am lucky to have in the chairman's office. tax, jim howard, daniel orenstein, you have each gone well above and beyond the call of duty, keeping a wonderful sense of humor every day, a terrific spirit. you make each other smarter and you make me a lot smarter. i thank you for that. i apologize to your families, but i know they join me in honoring your service. thanks to the work of these incredible publi

this requires spectrum and developed using an fcc at license. we heard that experimental licenses have also played an essential role in development of life-saving medical devices. i am very pleased that we take concrete steps for our experimental licensing program. we are proposing to ease testing restrictions on university, research organizations and other institutions that are developing new services for the allies spectrum and propose innovations of the-one of the most exciting areas for innovation and improving health care and reducing health-care costs. our goal is to accelerate innovation for experimental licenseing to reduce the time of an idea to get to the market. a more extensive experimental licensing program would help the fcc make smarter, faster decisions particularly when it comes to interference issues by giving us on the ground intelligence on interference questions and insight into the development of new cutting edge technology. encouraging research and development vital to our objective, responding globally to the great techno

until they do, the fcc should not go forward. he also had arguments about the wisdom of what the fcc was doing. he feels the fcc -- the majority's approach would interfere with markets and keep them from managing the networks in ways that might be wise. host: pennsylvania, republican line, go ahead. caller: i understand there is another company involved with the discussion around netflix and compaq's -- and comcast for the other companies called level 3. can we connect directly to a company directly like netflix and not go through comcast? guest: level 3 provides connections across the internet. they are a backbone provider. they have gotten involved in thisy carrying more netflix traffic. comcast says the internet backbone providers have tier arrangements. they can provide the service for free as long as the traffic has a particular ratio. this netflix contract that level three has thrown this out of balance with comcast that they have to treat it as content providers. that is how they got involved. i have forgotten t rest of th

it was actually split at the fcc along party lines. the opposition to it and two of the republican appointees wrote... they both wrote op-ed pieces to explain their opposition. the notion is that these new regulations can hamper the development of on-line commerce, correct? >> that's right. it can hamper the development of on-line commerce. it can hamper the development of these networks, these networks providers will be reluctant to put more money into the networks. i think the fear is that a lot of the regulatory, the regulatory move here may be more hypothetical than it is real in that the fears may be hypothetical. commissioner meredith applebaker said in her speech today that she read that there were 60 uses of the word "could" which shows you that so many of this is projecting what possibly could happen in the future without there being enough examples of real... to justify this kind of regulation. and interestingly, that's why the fcc said that they do not want to impose the same kind of rules that they are for the cable compani

we showed you that the fcc is going around the senate, they said, no, the court said no, but the fcc is pushing the neutrality anyway and octavian maintained the appearance of traditional republican government, republican as in "the republic," it was all still there. and he refused to be called caesar, the adopted son of caesar, he did not want to be a dictator but he disguised himself, and he took the title of "first citizen." i am just like you. first citizen. the people of rome had gone from being citizens of a republic to subjects of an emperor and it happened without violence, without votes or without fanfare. didn't really know and they were actually happy about it. because they were bought off. where are we seeing this today? i will show you when we come back.ño >> we are so backed up i have so much to share with you tonight on ancient rome and the or things and this is from a book identity road we are traveling," and i only have a copy of it. a producer is standing at a xerox to copy it because we cannot get an old copy and i will show you what is happening in ancient rome a

the fcc occupies the entire field. the public-works department cannot second-guess the fcc. [chime] those dimensions have been submitted the staff. t-mobile disagrees because the city would be giving an advantage to a competitor. there are some other issues related to discrimination that i am sure the other carriers will touch upon. supervisor maxwell: please come right on up, we have allowed to do. we distribute -- >> we distributed antenna systems. we are a competitive local carrier. our biggest request is what we provided with you, in quality. legislation that is motivated towards a certain type of technology violates both state and federal law. if knowledge is the city's right to legislate and to manage the right of way, reasonable control shall be applied to all entities in equivalent manner. the federal telecom after says that local governments may ms. the public right-of-way for use of the public right of way on a nondiscriminatory basis. if sx is the concern of the board, which we believe it is, it be expanded to all types of a clear and that is and the right of way

the fcc has found itself adrift since then. today, we finally tried to patch the hole left by the comcast decision by adopting certain rules to preserve open this. we do not anger ourselves on what i believe to be the best legal framework. nor every crafted roles as strong as i would like. but with hoped we would move to full throttle to restore the policies that worked in the past. i wanted to put those eight years of aberration totally behind us. so i pushed as hard as i could to get broadband telecommunications backward along under title ii, where hard won, consumer friendly protections that have been built up over many years would provide a framework under which businesses could do its job of managing this great communications enterprise, making handsome profits in the process, while giving them certainty and giving consumers protections they need and deserve. i wanted to go back to that balance the act that had worked for so many years of for the common good. so, yes, i continue to believe that a reassertion of our authori

that's why the fcc is moving to preserve the open internet. it is a vital part of what we need to do to unleash a novation and protect free-speech, to foster broadband investment and promote a vibrant economy creating jobs for students like you. and that's why it is essential we move forward next week to adopt the first enforceable rules of the road to protect internet freedom, and why i'm so pleased to have broad support for the effort from across the spectrum including a the technical community leading venture and other investors, carriers, labor and civil-rights organizations it's very important we do it. we need to make sure also that all of our young people, no matter where they are from, have access to the internet and digital skills necessary to be full participants in the economy and the 21st century economy. and we need to drive broadband adoption and access everywhere. high-speed access with everyone connected so that we can compete in the 21st century drive innovation and investment. for the country to be competitive in the new worl

the fcc is also expected. we are watching that as well. they adopt new rules on internet access with net neutrality. broadband providers wouldn't block websites. they wouldn't be allowed to play favorites by dividing the content delivery mechanisms into slow and fast lanes, but it lets them charge more for video or social networking services. if you are waiting until the seventh hour to find that gift, you may be out of luck. some of the hottest gifts like the amazon kindle and fleece-lined shirts from ll bean are apparently sold out. the national retail federation said this is not the year to be playing chicken with the stores. getting burned with way too much inventory, a lot of chain stores are getting more conservative when ordering the holiday merchandise. i hope when your mom comes in, she had already gone to the lrk l bean store to get your fleece-lined shirt. >> it's warmer here than it is here. >> everybody needs a fleece-lined shirt. >> the chevy volt goes on sale oeds, but the geek from berkeley has one. patrick yang is the firs

while constant exposure to one of vice might not offend, according to the fcc standards, how about this kind of density? who is asking these questions on our behalf? are they being asked? the more i research, the more i learn how my hands are tied -- how our hands are tied as residents and homeowners as far as what we can do about this, i understand that the new regulations will allow for an appeal in two years when the permit comes up for renewal. we have to live up to the monthly service crews, and the fear that this equipment might come down with a large storm for two years. i think that the public needs to be notified as part of the curve in the process for any size antenna. politics is personal, and so is aesthetics. we should have a chance to voice our concern and to learn about how our coverages provided. the placement of these facilities across the city needs to be made with more consideration and more equity. thank you. supervisor maxwell: all right. joan hopkins, why don't you come out? thank you. >> yes, i did not turn in a card, although my name is joan. i live in north beac

i am a senior counsel at the fcc. we are here to continue what i know will be a great discussion with an all-star panel that we are very lucky to have with us today. entrepreneurs, children's experts, and those from the nonprofit industry and organizations, and some leaders in academia. it is a great panel. i know many of you are watching a mine. thank you for joining us there as well. let me give you a brief introduction of our all stars your. -- all starts here. tim is responsible for making an implementing the company's interaction with policymakers. thank you for being here. hancock is the president of the internet keeps it coalition. it helps implement internet safety in family homes. michael clark is an entrepreneur. he is the co-founder of safety web, an online service for parents that makes it easier to protect the reputation, privacy, and safety of kids online. dr. michael levine is the executive director of the gan kuni center. -- joan gane cooney center. our next guest is maureen. she has more than a decade

the fcc is decades beyond any public justification. no politician would go near that proposal with a 10 foot pole. i would not say that the regulatory area is as fast as the irs. it is easier to summarize and characterize what the purposes of reform. there are several proposals that are springing up to change the institution of regulation. one proposal from senator mark warner up virginia is to take account of the problem of off- budget costs. he would like to put regulations on a pay-as-you-go basis. if there is a rule that costs $50 billion per year, you would have to go back and clean up all the regulations that have been imposed in the past to the tune of $50 billion in savings to add more regulations. and even more audacious proposal is that from senator jim demint and jeff davis of kentucky. it is the act that says no major regulation, regulation costing more than $100 billion or more, may take effect until it has been approved by a joint resolution of congress with the president's signature. it has the advantage of going back to

as we do -- >> this has been a top complaint to the fcc -- >> we want you to listen very carefully. because for years, many people nationwide have complaints that commercials have come across louder than the programming. if you think that's true, you are gonna love this next story. >>> the top songs are out -- >>> okay. question for you. are tv commercials too loud? apparently many think so and now congress may take steps to turn down the volume. >> this has been a top complaint to the fcc for decades for almost 50 years. >> bay area congressman says it's a common concern that when a program goes to a commercial, the volume seems to jump. she's esponsorring a bill that would require volume to be lowered on ads. >> one of my colleagues said there won't be fights in the house anymore for the race to the mute button. >>> ktvu channel 2 news at 6:00 is next. >> this these files are thousands of uncleared files. >>> oakland makes another pitch. we will tell you what's going on and the big obstacle still to come. >>> if these sketches look familiar, police want to hear from you right away

the fcc is scheduled to vote on the plan december 21st. the proposal aims to address concerns about the way large internet service providers manage their networks. this is a little more than 10 minutes. >> good morning. after months of hard work at fcc, and other parts of government, in the private sector, and in the public interest community, and after receiving more than 100,000 comments from citizens across america, i'm pleased to announce that we've reached an important milestone in our effort to protect internet freedom and openness. yes i circulated to my colleagues, draft rules of the road to preserve the freedom and openness of the internet. this framework, if adopted, later this month, would advance a set of core goals. it would ensure that the internet remains a powerful platform for innovation and job creation. it would empower consumers and entrepreneurs. it would protect free expression. it would increase certainty in the marketplace and spur investment both at the edge and in the core of our broadband networks. i'm grass -- g

he does not have to the right to do it on publicly regulated airways, the fcc has the responsibility to set standards to say the public cannot be offended based on their race or their gender in this country and you federally regulate the airways that they give licenses to that are very competitive and the fcc is very selective, based on standards. >> may i ask you two questions? do you think it's reasonable that you are going to spend your whole life not being offended? twho deems what is offensive and what is not? government? if you don't wake up your friends and family and your neighbors, we are in for tough, tough times because a lot has changed while we were all sleeping. they were not sleeping. the left has been preparing and indoctrinating. i will show you what you are up against. this is a new video from a 15-year-old kid in london. watch this. >> we know what they are up to. they think we don't come and demonstrate ever again. let the word go out about next tuesday, let the word go out about next week and next month and next year that they can't stop us demonstrators. they ca

the fcc wants to regulate speech in fairness. i understand that. because we're in a democracy and because broad ideas percolate there are people who come forward to don't pass the smell test. it's very good for america. people like sharon and bill and christina o'donnell did not win the election. i will tell you, if you have a large percentage of the electorate responding as people have to the two-party, far more important than there are a few candidates who are arguably outside the mainstream and not acceptable to people in this room, the fact that we have a real problem in our politics. but the questioner had an important point. a lot of the tea party supporters are genuinely attracted by libertarian rhetoric and the real concern about fiscal responsibility. concerned about a generation of that and what it means to have this to be the american people are smart. you can't be the world's sole superpower. it's worth pointing out there was a fundamental fault line, a contradiction between many of the candidates put forth who are not libertarian in th

independent knowledge of let's say, you know, accounting fraud or wrongdoing of some variety to the fcc is in line for a very substantial pay off. what's anomalous about this, if you think back to sarbane in 2002, that was concerned with accounting fraud, manipulation, world com, for example, represented a case where earnings were bolsters by capitalizing expenses rather than having to recognize and charge them off to the improvement of world com's financial statement. that was disclosed by an employee in the world com accounting department. and therefore one the things that sarbane tried to do was to improve internal capacity to deal with these kinds of activities within large corporations. so the effort was to improve internal controls over corporate financial records and reporting as part of that. sarbane oxley encouraged employees to inform legal and compliance officers of suspected fraud or wrongdoing in a variety of ways. one, for example, was to require companies to establish confidential hotline numbers to protect sources, retaliation against whistleblowers is prohibited. it's t

the fcc is scheduled to vote on the proposal. it is aimed to address concerns about large -- about how large internet service providers manage their networks. this is about 10 minutes. i am pleased to announce that we reached an important milestone in our effort to protect internet freedom and openness. yesterday, i circulated to my colleagues draft rule of the road to preserve the freedom and openness of the internet. this framework if adopted later this month what did fans a set of core goals. it would ensure that the internet remains a powerful platform for innovation and job creation. it would empower consumers and entrepreneurs. it would protect free expression. it would increase certainty in the marketplace and spur investment does that the edge and at the core of our broadband networks. i'm gratified by the support this proposal has already received this morning, including from leading technology companies, consumer and public interest groups, unions, and broadband providers. the proposed rules of the road are first articu
