the care -- chairman of the fcc saying absolutely not. there is a religious conviction in this administration that wireless carriers are the right number. they were not going to allow it to happen but i think sprint looks for a number of ways to try to make it happen and maybe they are waiting for another administration before it happens and now you here about other suitors for t-mobile that is interesting. stay tuned. we will see. >> host: do you agree with that? you have to have four philosophy? >> guest: other countries have gone to three. it passed most of their regulators as well as their anti-trust analyst. so there is a strong argument to make that three would be the right number given that number one and number two are about 80% of the market share and 110% of the cash flow. what is the fate of number two and three? stay tuned because this isn't the end of the story. >> guest: i think if we were true to the act we would probably have more or more. let's not comfort ourselves by this. that was the end of the consolidation and deals

i think the fcc is on track to conduct the auction in 2015. very, very important undertaking, and it's the first time in the history of our country -- i think in the history of the world -- that an auction has been set up this way. it's voluntary. and the purposes of the auction are real essentials in the 21st century that we create more unlicensed spectrum which is an innovation platform, that we fund firstnet. you know that there was one recommendation of the 9/11 commission that congress had not made good on, and that is that we establish a nationwide, interoperable public safety network. why? because on that horrible, dreadful day of 9/11 fire and police went into those towers, and they could not communicate with each other. and so we finally put that in place. and so the funding for that effort would come out of auction dollars and also to pay down the deficit. so it's a very, very important and historic undertaking. i think it's unfortunate that the broadcasters have done that, but i would consider it a bump in the road. i don't think th

what would you like to see the fcc do? >> guest: what i would like to see the fcc do is study those comments closely, number one. number two, get out of washington, d.c., get beyond the beltway. take the commission, chairman wheeler, out around the country, like we went. rob and i went around the cub in 2005, '6, '7 and show the people what the fcc is thinking about and hear what's on the people's minds, the citizens who have to live with the results of the decisions that the fcc makes. i think before they decide on net neutrality, they should do that, and i think then come back and really realize the centrality that this little commission has right now with regard to decisions that are critical to the future of the country. really it's in a position -- i don't know anybody who's got more power to influence the 21st century than this commission in the next few months. so really take that seriously, take those comments to heart, and i think, i think they would come out if they did that really understanding not just the impo

this is a real point with the fcc. it is as important as anything that has ever been called upon to do. thise going to be taking media ecosystem of hours and really make it work for american citizens? it can sustain our democratic dialogue. we are not taking advantage of that opportunity. this is a time where the fcc can be the good guys. legacy of the wheeler commission is going to be on the decision that it makes, and the future of the open internet. everything else is some text. -- subtext. i hope that he realizes that. it is vitally important to the our mediat just ecosystem, but our democratic infrastructure. >> there is another merger out there that is not getting the attention comcast is. the att and directv. what are your thoughts? through.k it goes i think it is mainly driven by at&tnt, content deals that will be able to deliver over mobile platforms. in most markets, at&t is not taking out a competitor. u-verse is not known as a pay-tv provider. it is a broadband provider. wireless companies, they are not vie

let's see what the fcc does. i think, the american people are not caught up in different sections of the law and title 2 versus whatever. they know what they want. they think it is fair. and they want the regulatory agency, congress, whomever, they want those protections, and they will move on, and so will the companies, and so will be startups. they are not caught up in all this language. it is our job to get the job done for them, and i think this is a creative pathway toward it. >> my last question on net neutrality. netflix is supporting reclassification of title 2. at least they put their name to that. at the same time, they were looking at deals to maybe have enhanced broadband service, for so-called fast lanes. do you support the so-called fast lanes? >> i think obviously companies do what they need to do to protect their investment and their shareholders. weedson't get into the about what someone is doing before the decision is taken. they doing that for their own interest. what i would point to, they nee

the national association of broadcasters has sued the fcc. are you concerned about that lawsuit and could delay the auction? >> guest: i think it's a bump in the road but i don't think it's going to delay the auction. i think the fcc is on track to conduct the auction in 2015. it's a huge and very very important undertaking and is the first time in the history of our country, i think in the history of the world that an auction has been set up this way is voluntary and the purposes of the auction are real essentials on the 21st century that we create more unlicensed spectrum that is an innovation platform, that we fund first net. you know that there was one recommendation for the 9/11 commission that congress did not make good on and that is that we establish a nationwide interoperable public safety network. why? because on that horrible dreadful day of 9/11 fire and police went into those towers and they could not communicate with each other. so we finally put that in place. so the funding for that effort would come out of auction dollars and

the fcc is changing the game.or ruling whether or not you see sunday's game on your tv at home. rich edson is in washington with how it all played out and what it means for football fans everywhere. rich? >> well, melissa the national football league fought to preserve the fcc blackout rule and it lost though it is likely little changes will result of this morning's vote. the fcc eliminated this blackout rule. it blocks professional sports events from local broadcast channels in the home team fails to sell out its stadium. the fcc will not longer enforce that rule. the problem for the fcc chairman, the nfl and local broadcasters can enforce their own blackout policy and likely will. >> if there are blackouts next weekend, or, monday night, or thursday night, let alone on sunday, it will be the decision of the league and its team owners, not with the, without the participation of the federal government. >> so with that the fcc commissioner's encouraged the nfl and broadcasters to overturn their blackout policy give

reid hunt is the former chair of the fcc and joins us now. thank you for being here.o you worry about the chilling effect that could take place when media outlets make this decision for themselves? >> one of the jobs of the federal communications commission has been to nudge broadcasters to pay attention to emarging standards of decency. in the 1960s, the fcc was making sure broadcasters were not using free licenses to broadcast hate speech and use the "n" word. now we are talking about the "r" word in the standard of decency and it is right and proper for the fcc and broadcasters to have a discussion about that. >> you think it is a healthy role for the media outlets to have that discussion? >> absolutely. give credit to the print media. they seem to be encouraging some members of the broadcast industry that the "r" word is just as bad as the "n" word. this is a conversation that should continue not consensus. the last holdout, dan snyder, will come into that eventually. >> it seems at odds with what is drilled in to me with my role is to report on the news and not t

and one of the things that came up in that was, you know, if the fcc moves to reclassify broadband as a common carrier under title ii of the communications act, that that could reduce the ftc's authority to regulate broadband providers given that common carriers are given a carveout, essentially, from ftc authority. so do you worry about the ftc sort of losing the authority to regulate broadband providers if chairman tom wheeler moves to reclassify broadband? >> guest: personally, i do worry about that, and i'll tell you why. we do have a common carrier exemption to our authority, and so if an entity is a common carrier providing common carrier services, we can't bring actions against them. and one of the things that i found is that the ftc's been a very active enforcer in the broadband space, so we brought the first online privacy case back in 1999 to u.s. cities. so it's almost 20 years later, we've still been very active in that space. and i already talked about the ability under the transparency requirement of the open internet order for a broadband provider to be held to its prom

according to the fcc companies would have to pay internet provider to show their content at a higherspeed. they have been lobbying the fcc to do that saying they could use that money to improve broadband for all consumers, but others say that all the cost also come down to the consumer. >> they're selling off the internet with a few select corporations that they have business relationships with, and they're doing this against basically everyone's interest. from the largest tech companies to small activist groups and people from across the political spectrum. everyone agrees this is a bad idea except a few ceos of a few corporation who is stand the most to gain. >> protesters are urging folks to call lawmakers and contact the fcc. they have comments for the public throughout this whole week. more than 60,000 phone calls have been made already today tony, more than 400,000 comments have been sent to the fcc. so if you want to say something to the government the fcc, the time to do it is now. >> all right, ines. thank you. a close call for a motorcyclist in brazil. have you seen this vi

i can't say i've heard the fcc is doing anything. this has just come forward now. hoping that the federal communications commission is going to step forward and look at what the companies are doing, look at why the vulnerability is there, what the carriers have done to protect themselves, what they can do to fix it in the future and whether or not they have followed the regulations, which require them to protect this information. >> now do we -- >> so far -- >> do we have any idea who's using the systems how much they cost and you know also what it means to the average person? >> we don't know who is using the system. or at least again for publicly available information. i have seen some marketing information from some of the companies that provide this. and they seem to be marketing to government agencies. but you never know who else they're marketing to and there can be these companies all around the world so we really don't know who's using this. >> it really is 1984, 30 years later, isn't it john? unfortunately. thanks very much for joining us. appreciate you b

the fcc lifted the ban, but the contract is still in place until 2022. the nfl can still black out a game, but now cable companies are pay per view companies can pick it up. >> with the advent of all the sports networks, plenty of places where a game can be. >> you'll always be able to watch your game. >> and concussions? gll university of michigan, things are getting worse for them. they are being criticized for allowing the quarterback back in the game after suffering a concussion. the hit happened in the fourth quarter of the wolverine's game this saturday. morris was wobbly coming off the field and medical staff did not see the hit and thought he was wobbly because of a previous ankle injury. here's the hit. it was helmet to helmet. here's the thing, though. the athletic trainer sent morris back in. there he is wobbly. but they didn't see the hit, so they didn't know the concussions, even though he was told to get neurological testing. the trainer sent him back in. that brings up the concussion debate again. michigan did say they are apologizing and

broadband was weighed on in rural areas and under served areas and one thing that came up is if the fcc reclassifies it as a common carrier that could reduce the ftc's authority to regulate broadband providers given that common carriers are labelled as such. do you worry about this? >> guest: personal, i do. we have a common carrier exemption to our authority. we cannot bring actions against them. one of the things i found is the ftc has been an active enforcer in the broadband space. it is almost 20 years later. we have been very active in that space. i talked about the ability under the transparency requirement of the open internet order for a broadband provider to be held to promises about the broadband service it is providing. if that broadband service is reclassified as a common carrier service under title ii i think it would call into question of the ftc to deal with those actions. my concern is more for the loss to consumers that they would lose out from having the active oversight in an area where we have been affective and brought cases and tried to safeguard consumer interest

meanwhile a lot of websites are vowing to slow down this wednesday, the approach is to encourage the fccto protect net neutrality the site that will be promoting the all day action, net neutrality means internet providers and governments treat all data on the internet equally in other words they don't discriminate or charge differently by the user of the content, platform or the site. several popular websites are participating in the slow down when you log on you will see this spinning wheel to symbolize what they say searching the web could look like without net neutrality the fcc is expecting to issue a final rule as soon as the end of the year. >> another buzz phrase i didn't know what it meant because i heard about it but not really kind of soaked it in but basically it means it is like a fast lane and a slow lane for internet meaning if you pay you could get in the fast lane and the rest of us who are not interested in paying would be stuck in the slow lane. >> like driving on the highway. >> i know. >>> local school district that had a history of struggles the new superintendent ho
