the commission secretary is the commission secretary but she has an executive assistant. i was the general counsel and i had one primary, exclusive, executive assistant and then i was able to rely on the other four executive assistance for my other five attorneys if i needed them. so i had access to five staff people as a general counsel so because when you're 24-7 operation like an airport is, you need-with all the tech tools, etc., available you need are managers available to basically manage not to administrative test. so i would suggest we might want to look at whether we have enough room in the budget for assistance to the executive assistant. >> so i think the primary difference between the airport and oci i is that airport is an enterprise department and it generates its own revenue and quite a lot of it. so they are actually one of the departments , i would argue, perhaps the department may be aside from the puc that is the most flexibility with regard to their staffing because if they can generate it they can spend it. we are in a different environment where admi

upheld the same right for the commission with the 2015 rules. the challenge of the 2015 rules in court was to prove that not only did they have chevron 2005,nce as they did in but the wheeler commission had to talk about what had changed in the marketplace. and the marketplace for broadband access in 2005 is very different from what it is today. a made that case and it was upheld in court. that was the justification for moving from title i to title ii. all of that was had doubt by the lawyers. the important thing to note is thataverage consumers see they have very few choices for internet access. they have local monopolies. and that those local monopolies have the incentive to prefer their own content or to degrade or block content if they chose to it there were business reasons for them to do so and that is why we have the rules. the shift to title ii is just a way to make that protection of -- theyernet values would be upheld in court. commission -- is title ii a nonnegotiable for public knowledge? christopher lewis: we believe that given the

that commission decision stripped the federal trade commission of its authority to regulate internet providers privacy. that is because the commission cannot regulate common carriers which the prior commission suddenly deemed broadband providers to be. this decision was a mistake. repealing title ii will simply restore the federal trade commission's authority to police broadband providers privacy practices. that means that the most expert and privacy -- the most expert privacy officer will be on the beach. we will simply return to the tried and true approach that protected our digital privacy effectively before 2015. now, in any debate there are at least two sides and i would like to briefly address a few of the main arguments that you are going to hear from title ii supporters. throughout the discussion, you will hear from the other side that title ii is the only way to preserve a free and open internet. let me be clear. this is a lie. they will repeat it over and over again, but it is just not true. you do not have to be a regular -- a regulator or a lawyer to figure it out. you ju

for 20 years, the federal trade commission or f.t.c. as we call it frequently, oversaw consumer privacy for the entire internet ecosystem. content providers, advertisers and internetter is vise providers or i.s.p.'s. the f.t.c.'s privacy program focused on protecting sensitive consumer data and took the context of a consumer's relationship with businesses into consideration. the f.t.c.'s experience in implementing wide range of rules and regulations resulted in 500 cases protecting consumer information, ensuring privacy online. in a flawed political move, absent of any findings, complaints or investigations to determine whether broadband providers violated consumer privacy or that the f.t.c. had failed at doing its job, the f.c.c. proceeded with a partisan vote to target i.s.p.'s and to expand its regulatory footprint. after stripping the f.t.c. of its authority over the privacy practice of -- privacy practices of internet service providers, the f.c.c. subsequently adopted rules that would harm consumers and split the internet. creating

anything from the commission? >> i just have a clarifying question for the commission from the last hearing where bryant tan offered a timeline foor the commission and that was about a section of the police code. >> this is sort out order but i think we can do this. president bryant tan had amended a section of the police code and it sort of confusing but i think the action that was taken tonight likely supersedes that action because that action would only begin counting towards another notice period towards a full-blown suspension hearing. does that make any sense to you because a lot of this is off-line. so he found an old section of the code that doesn't necessarily jive with what the commission was doing this evening so in any event, i believe--i mean, the action that was taken tonight was approved and i'd be happy to go back and show you the efficacy of the section that he planned out and it's totally not what you would think it is so i went review that with the city attorney and had to explain why that was p

it could be subject to further commission action. that is unless the service is something the commission wanted to encourage such as telehealth in which the parties were expressly invited to use the loophole to put the service beyond the reach of the open internet rules. in short, far from banning all so-called fast lane, the commission sanctioned a system of good fast lanes and bad fast lanes. it set itself up as the arbiter. the difficulty the commission had in drying these lines of its own creation should be a lesson that this is far from a bright line rule. indeed, some proponents of the ban argued it's meant that all traffic must be treated exactly the same in any current commercial to alter this edict should be rejected. that could include enhanced quality of service or other favorable treatments such as zero rating, what started as an outcry over hypothetical fast lane transformed into an even more radical idea that no bit could ever be treated than any other bit. in addition to these line drawing problems, many commenters poi
