a couple years ago the fcc lost its comcast case. some of the same issues the state gathered, the fcc argued the case should be repealed or are they going to -- is it going to be distinguished or how serious is this congressional authorization issue? >> it is very serious. some people say this second case is once more with feeling, let's do it again. other people saying we rewrote the section or understand what section 706 of the communications act means and earl can talk to you about why that doesn't do it and we established statutory authority based on several sections of the act but that is the approach being taken by the fcc and the elephant in the room is why not rip-off the band-aid, called a telecommunications service under title 2 and then forebear from applying all kinds of things, you don't want to weigh down high-speed internet access but at least you have your basic statutory structure clear. it would be a very political argument, it is absolutely right so problem is not having enough representatives in congress who under
