innovations, technological innovations that can in your view cut down on destructive driving? >> is a couple different things out there today. first and foremost i do want to stress education is the important message here because we want folks to understand these y destructive driving is really harmful and things you can do to prevent destructive driving by using common sense. so talking about technology this is a technology called let's get to it. we have a couple of our member companies here with us today. taser offered a product called protector, and what is as installed within your car and it goes directly into the car's communications system and when you get into the car it turns your phone off. with self control or for the younger drivers, too they don't really need to be taxing or talking while driving as they are learning so this is a really

wonderful project where you can control what happens when you get in the car. >> and it is on the market now? >> it is to the hispanic parents buying it? >> parents buying it in droves. in addition to that, nuance communication which is one of our leadership council members, nuance works with ford and the system in the car comes again, more evidence to drivers who are capable of talking but doing hand free mode, nuance is working with a lot of the auto manufacturers to incorporate that kind of hand free technology, and also voice activated technology within the car, so allowing you to still communicate and do things in the car that would with two hands on the wheel and to what is on the road. >> do you lobby as an organization for text and laws and state legislatures or other kind of laws like that? >> we haven't lobbied directly in the states, but we have provided information to the states. we really think that it educational messages important in the states that are looking

at taxing always, you know, tax thing is the one that everybody is focused on at the moment, but there are all kind of other distractions happening in the car comes a while we are definitely in favor of the text in laws, we definitely want to see folks recognize that there are other distractions and other things they need to be cognizant of. >> where are you had koret? >> washington, d.c. but our partners are around the world. stomach for other partners? >> we are working with software that has an application product you can download to your smart phone and similar to the of the products will help turn off the phone in case you need some help getting to the answer. and then wired safety. why your safety is an amazing organization. bigger the number one online and safety group in the world. and they've been around since about 1995. they started seeing the destructive driving as a major issue and really got ahead of the other safety groups looking at this about how we can teach kids and parents to use

technology in a very safe way. >> kelli emerick is the director of the destructive driving safety alliance. what's website? www.distracteddrivingsafetyallia nceorg. it's long but we would love to have folks check us out. >> one of the leading smart phone manufacturers is year end of the consumer electronics show on capitol hill, and keith novak one of the directors is here to talk with the communicators about the new products that each tce has come out with. why don't you point out some of your products? >> i want to show you we have a great line of products but what is exciting to us is you have it in 4g. i will start with this one, this is the htc 4g and was the first 4g product in the u.s.. about a year now it remains a popular device, but again it gave river became the first case what 4g went with speed and

power and have a true broadband connections in the pocket. so this kind of kicked off. but i think what was really great is recently with verizon wireless we launched the htc thunderbolt and it's the first long-term evolution smart fun and the idea is that is the technology that most of the world is going to use as they roll out 4g. so this is true broadband speed. >> when you say rest of the world does that mean the end of cdma? >> welcome cdma remains the kind of underlying technology of almost all 4g technology. that is a code division. but you're right, code cdma, gsm, those will eventually fade into the sunset and it will become the long-term evolution of wireless as you go -- it won't just be datacom your voice will also be going over as a data packet. >> will that make international calling that much easier? >> international calling a

there's a difference in frequency to make, it does make things a little bit easier. if you have one technology. but the big benefits less willing than it is, just that idea of having a true broadband connections anywhere you go around the world. >> mr. nowak, you are developing 4g phones. is there a 4g national network available? >> they're really are. all of the operators have developed a nationwide 4g networks. certainly they are not in every single area get at most metro areas you are going to have 4g which shows how much demand there is. when the networks came out it took a long time for it to spread to different markets. today's 4g is virtually every small or medium market as people are demanding more and more data every day. >> are you working on fifth generation technology? >> actually, the 4g technology like lte is a longer-term

evolution. that technology will continue to get better and faster as time goes on. when you're going to see is less of a paradigm shift in technology going forward which is going to be stepping up and getting more and more capabilities within the technology. >> keith nowak was just reported -- and i see a couple of your phones have t-mobile connection -- was just reported t-mobile lost a record number of customers in the first quarter of 2011. as a potential transaction of at&t buying a t-mobile concern htc? >> we have never been a one carrier manufacturer. we've been selling phones in all major carriers as well as regional throughout the united states. so, you know, we are watching it very closely. at the end of the day we have a great relationship and assault aydelotte go to at&t as well so we are in great shape no matter what the outcome. >> werries htc headquartered and what does it stand for? >> it used to stand for of all

it mobile's you can actually take it with you on a train, in your car, anywhere you go you will be doubled to take television with you and started out a portable tv sets coming out now from rca. here's an example, this little guy is a freeze and a half inch screen and costs about $160 from rca portable tv dhaka. it has a rechargeable battery that will last four to five hours of watching television and the biggest advantages you can be on the move and go anywhere that you want to go. >> how is it picking up a signal? >> it's picking up the digital signal we are familiar with the high-definition transmission happening for the last several years. adding mobile to the signal was relatively new. it's only been done the past year. it varies depending on the market. in washington we have seven broadcasters sending over a dozen channels of mobile. so again if you are in the car or the metro above ground, you can pick up a perfect mobile

signaled it's been tested up to 100 miles per hour and a perfect signal. >> can you travel cross-country or are you going to lose the signal? >> it's like fm radio, mobile digital radio is available from 75 broadcasters across the country in 32 markets. you can go to the website of the open mobile video collection, omvc.rg, click on the civil matter and get a list of all of the cities, all the stations on the air right now. that obviously is growing from week to week. >> you have other products on the table. what have you got? >> i want to show you one more thing in my hand and that is a little u.s. the receiver. it is plugged into torch computer. there is software that goes with it. it's got a little antenna, kind of cute. but with this in the laptop can be turned into a mobile tv set. there's devices like this for the automobile, so if you have the dvd player in your automobile you can buy a product like this, turning it into the screen in the system and you can have television on the go on the

road. we also have prototypes on the table of new devices that are coming including a laptop network from dell it's a prototype you can see the tv on the screen and then there are accessories coming for the ipad, the iphone that also bring mobile dtc to the apple products as well. >> how many products are now on the market? >> as you on the market. the rca and 7 inches in size ranging from about $115 up to about $175. those are available today. >> is there a monthly subscription fee? >> that's one of the best part about it today it is a free service and there will always be a subscription for each year as well as a subscription to here that's going to come eventually. future products will have the ability to place crimpled content so like you enjoy a lot of cable programs at home you will be able to get those so-called cable programs on the go with mobile dtv. so those are available today,

and some of these devices like this one, this is a no u.s. the receiver you can buy it on and on for about $75. it comes with a little seedy so it's got the software and everything built in and you can watch mobile dtv anywhere you go. >> test plug it into your laptop? >> just plug and play. >> mr. arland, we talked with the destructive driving coalition. outdoor products you have here fit with distracted drivers because it's not just going to be passengers. >> as it is with anything in the car and it isn't the sort of thing you want to be playing around with a fury drivers of these are entertainment devices for the back seat of the car. there's a lot of people driving with video systems in their car today for the back seat for the kids or whatever. and that is the advantage of being mobile but it's not only the car. you think about going to the license branch and the supermarket, all the places you wait in line to go, here you can

have information wherever you are and we think it is critical when you talk about emergencies. because now with the affordable television set or a device that plugs into the ipad or iphone, you people to have emergency alert service wherever you are and not in just the living room but your house. >> some of the new products by rca at the consumer electronics show on capitol hill. we are now joined on the communicator's by matthew straeb, president of the global security systems company. what is it that you make? >> we are in the emergency alert business we provide alert to citizens like news to save your lives. just used in the tornadoes and alabama to save some lives and we use the f m infrastructure and there is no message feet, so all of the alert and warning devices that deliver.

>> do governments buy your product as well? >> emergency managers create and send the message out. we don't create or send messages to read the messages and the information come from the national weather service or presidential alert from fema and then it sent satellite through the broadcast infrastructure and delivered audio and text of 240 characters to the different devices you see. >> shul the devices and how that work. >> this is an fm radio that is in the cell phone and these -- [inaudible] >> that's the shipwright there and in fossella loans in these products and you are able to send a message to a cell phone even if the number gets congested or gets overloaded you can receive a message through the chip. the other devices are this is a personal receiver that might go next year to the bedside and we

keep up in the middle of the night and tell you there's a tornado coming. this is a device that is a wall units that might be installed in a university public school or bus or public building in case there is a hurricane or a tornado or flooding or earthquake. these other devices, this is a device that can receive alerts and then this is the ipod docking station gpx. >> kafta minute factors been reluctant to put the fm check into their phones? too there's over 40 phones that have the chip in it, so they are deploying the the system. we have over 15 states and the system installed in over 45 million people are covered with the alert signal. the key point is there's no message feed so once you buy the devices all you can eat there's

no connection fi camano activation fee. the emergency manager of the government is basically they're responsible that is to present the message, provide the message and another customer the citizen broadcasters or the public service broadcasters provide the alert and this is a benefit. a senate bill would also be sending alerts to a certain areas such as times square if there were something that needed to be alerted. is that competing with you? what's the technology? >> at the end of the day no network or broadcast infrastructure or internet ki devotees 100% fail-safe. so if you lose cell phone coverage or it goes down in your area, you want to rely on broadcasting and broadcasting has been a not over 80 years to provide other to warning signals so it is an escalation. if your power goes out how are you going to charge your

cellphone? it's quite the last 24 hours so you might want to go to a device that has a three month or five year battery. so those are the differences. it's up to the consumer to decide any way at the end of the day. >> what's your background, how did you get into this? >> broadcast engineer involved in all types of different technologies. >> where's goebel secure systems headquartered? >> jackson is a city. >> matthew straeb executive vice president. >> thank you. >> the qualcomm company is another exhibitor here the consumer electronics show on capitol hill in washington, d.c. where the communicators is on location and we are joined by the vice president of qualcomm, alice tornquist. as el niño have a lot of the exciting technology to show people in particular one of the things we are showing your today are some devices that have our snapdragon chip set and the

as well as having assets to the spectrum to accommodate these amazing growth as we are seeing in a mobile we need access to the airwaves. >> to of your big policy issues at qualcomm, immigration h-1b, immigration reform and spectrum reform as well. >> spectrum reform and we are interested in tax reform and creating a level playing field for multinational companies that have to compete against companies and other places in the world and we see the need for the united states to look at the corporate tax system and make some changes there. >> that was alice tornquist of qualcomm, vice president based here in washington, d.c., qualcomm of course is headquartered in san diego and we are now joined by aaron cow winston, senior manager at qualcomm to talk about some of the health care aspects of the qualcomm product. what did you to tell about? >> welcome she explained we are all about making this phone a

more efficient and powerful, so what we are doing with selwa year less reach initiative is taking that and looking at in health care and education and in various areas what is the social benefit. so we truly believe that health care can be helped by mobile technology. you know, it can reduce cost, help people with medication adherence, things like taking their pills on time so that they can manage their disease is and one of the projects we looked at here in d.c. was medication adherence and related to the hypertension and what we found by working with gw university and other partners is that if you put an application on a felon and teach somebody how to use it, it can definitely help them take their pills on time and live a healthier and better life. >> is it the application qualcomm developed or how is it

a part of this? >> actually one of our partners did and so, qualcomm is an enabler and making the connectivity say you can have data. the applications and is built so you can have access to educational information about your medication, like you can look up any pill and you will see a picture of it and what it's used for and then you can program the application so it's simple, it sends your an alarm when you're supposed to take your pills, and what is really important is a lot of people suffering from chronic disease today they might need to take up to eight pills a day because the of blood pressure issues, diabetes and they are combined and living with that and it's hard enough to just remember to take your multivitamin, right? so if you have got access to an application that helps you it can make a true impact on your life. >> iraq is the senior manager

with qualcomm. >> one of the well-known brands that google corporation owns ase youtube and joining now the consumer electronics show on capitol hill is david rosenstein. what's new about 22? >> this is one of those solutions that allows owners to provide reference files music labels, cdp to studios, reference files into youtube. we identified as and generate video and audio fingerprints and use this when videos are uploaded and we get something like 35 hours of generated video every minute so each of those as stand against the entire preference of content and we

will find a policy the contant holder to apply and the policies are fairly robust and can tell us that a simple level block of this, leave it to become just track it. >> because it's copyrighted or something like that? >> short, it's their content, they can tell us whatever they choose. most of the content owners are simply telling us to monetize the videos if a user oppose content into youtube and use my content, i am okay with that but i would like to run ads against that and then youtube has a partnership that we share the revenue with the content owner. >> this is becoming much more common, the majority of what is happening. >> why was it important for google to show this product here on capitol hill to the legislators and capitol hill staff? >> we are proud of it and have done a lot of work and invested time and money and there is an opportunity for us to kind of tell our story and make sure
