whatever multichannel services providing weather video-on-demand or a lendale-- linear channel or netflixr some other server is emerging on the internet platform. the caution we have is that we are skeptics of government technology mandates, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be at the table doing the hard work necessary to try to achieve those goals and we have committed to the fcc and we commit to you that we will do that. there is still a host of issues that are unanswered. we have actually conceptually talked about ideas like the gateway device that michael was talking about a moment ago. i am not sure a gateway device is fully fleshed out right now. at the conceptual level there should be some interface we have to be able to work toward that allows us to accomplish those goals. but there is still enormous issues relating to content protection. a lot of the promotional transactional and advertising issues surrounding each of these platforms. we obviously have other providers here today. we have different technology platforms. i think as mike said a moment ago technology probably exist

cases however, is that the internet is also a way to concentrate power in ways like with amazon, with netflix the ability to grab power over some business, concentrating power over some business you can do it much more swiftly than ever in the past. it's taken a wal-mart for years to get where they are and it's taken amazon ten years to get 25% control of the look business or in some cases much more than that. and the thing is the internet precisely by -- windel marketplace is distributed geographically, it takes a long time and a lot of capital to buy all of those outlets to buy all of that land on which the commerce takes place. and the internet it just takes place in one place. so in many cases we are actively seeking this massive concentration of power. and this is not necessarily a problem if we understand that like the internet, a company like amazon or a company like comcast, that if we start to look at them as real roads and we start to treat them as common carriers, and we start to, you know, sort of thing can be left private or they can be made public. we have to treat them as commo
