i talked a little bit about this, but the capital cost of the buildout, 100% paid by motorola. it should be motorola or the b-top grant. site remediation, motorola's covering those costs. site maintenance and upkeep, site owners and jurisdictions that own and control sites will have to put some resources into contributing the sites to staff time, to escorting motorola onto the sites to do the work. there will be in some cases these sites are leased and may be lease modifications that will be some costs and utility, the electricity, whatever increases electricity on the sites to add the new equipment will be the responsibility of the jurisdictions. operations costs, motorola is responsible for operating the system. they will generate revenues through their monthly user fees to cover the cost of operation. but, again, motorola has the commitment to operate the system regardless of the number of users they have on it. we believe this will give them a huge incentive to make the network work really well because they're going to need to attract users to cover their cost. finally, dev

to be going on and is being investigated right thirty is not built i think is not a fringe figure buildout it is mainstream it time even jellicoe era church organization and there are other figures like it might be pearls who printed books and then you know bill gothard and they all basically reacted against what they called secularism and wanted to bring back discipline against. you know the background of dr spock coming out of the sixty's and what they regarded was license. started saying well we've got to start spanking again and now this is gone to a level where. it's almost a kind of a political statement that we're not liberals you know we're not going to stand to you hold our kids won't be gay you know we're going to spank you go out and that's the attitude and then it goes a step further like with pearls for instance in their book you train a child advocates using a plumbing to leave and tells you where to buy it at lowe's or home depot used kind of a plumbing implement it's made out of plastic now entering metal and so it really get their attention frank time but. i've read your a

move on to the next step of the debate, which is how do we make sure that we actually complete the buildoutof net "w" particularly to rural communities around america? what does the f.c.c. order do? it basically sets three basic rules for how network owners -- i.s.p.'s -- must handle internet traffic. first, it offers greater transparency about fixed and mobile network management practices to both consumers and content providers. this is terribly important. without that transparency, without that knowledge to kind of see what you're getting as a consumer or if you're a content provider making sure that your traffic is not being bumped out of line by some large network operator, is terribly important. second, it prevents fixed and mobile network providers from blocking traffic generated by competitors to varying degrees. again what does this mean? it means that if you are a network manager, if you are a network provider, and many network providers are now starting to also own content as well, you want to make sure that if you are a competitor in terms of content provider, that your network -

broadband buildout is a thriving success story on which every american, virtually almost all americans now count. we now even take it for granted, it is incumbent on us to look at this rule, to understand the negative impact it will have on a thriving way to communicate, to do business, to talk to each other, and to reject this rule and let this system continue to develop with the same innovation, the same intensity, the same incredible success that it has in the past seven years. with that, mr. president, i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from texas is recognized. mrs. hutchison: how much time is left on our side? the presiding officer: 19 1/2 minutes. mrs. hutchison: thank you, mr. president. i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll of the senate. quorum call: mrs. hutchison: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from texas. we are in a quorum call. mrs. hutchison: i ask unanimous consent to lift the quorum call. the presiding officer: without objection, the senator from texas is recognized. mrs. hutchison:
