and the pace of innovation that the fcc has. you know, we all talk about cooper's law, and most of you heard about -- but very few heard about cooper's law. who was a genius and somebody we should all know. morris law is that every 18 months we double the processing power at about the same cost. every, i think it's 24 months, we see a doubling of the spectrum efficiency in our networks every 24 months, we get a doubling in spectrum efficiency. if you think about what that means and how important that is. what that means is when you use the cell phone -- the cell phone you used two years ago was half as efficient as the cell phone you use today. that doesn't just happen magically. folks want to make investments when they know what the rules of the road are. the rules of the road are consistent and to make sure competitive marketplace. cooper's law is important, but so is competition. and i'm not sure that just the department of justice in an industry this fast paced would be able to do it. on the other hand, i don't want the regu

fcc going on the road show soon to talk to the broadcasters? >> guest: we will make thur the brad ashford have the information they need. that is your job. we are really interested in this auction. >> host: meredith attwell baker, should there be set asides for smaller organization? >> guest: our job is to get the spectrum out there. we don't take position on how it do that the fcc should do that. >> host: amy schatz? >> i think the other big issue that is facing you guys is net neutrality. and it feels like from everything that is coming out of the agency and coming from the hill that the fcc is going to reverse course this time and apply net neutrality rules to wireless networks where in 2010 they didn't do that and gave you the exception saying the networks were different. what do you happening the state of play is on that? can you convince them to move back? >> i want to start with the fact we all believe in the open internet and having rules. we just believe we need have to specific rules that take the differences of wireless into account.

the fcc should do that. guest: the other big issue, even though spectrum, spectrum, spectrum -- the other issue is net neutrality. and it feels like from everything that is coming out of the agency and coming out of the hill the fcc is going to reverse course and actually applied net neutrality rules to wireless networks. where in 2010, they did not do that, they gave you an exception, saying networks are different. now they are starting to look the other way. what do you think the state of play is on that? , i want to start with the fact that we all believe in an open internet and we all believe we need to have rules. we believe we have to have theific rules that take differences of wireless into account. and there are really three differences that the rules need to account for. the first is technical, that wireless depends on spectrum which is a scarce resource that comes from the government and that we sahrhare it. if the three of us were on a phone call, i was on the phone call -- you were doing e-mail,

in the last ten years the fcc has achieved major victories with the neighborhood. city and filipino community ~. working with and organizing neighborhood youth, the fcc helped to get a new stop light on all man i and san juan after a young student, stacey cross was killed at the intersection. alemany ~ [speaker not understood]. in just the past few years the fcc's worker rights program in collaboration with the office of labor standards enforcement has helped win over $1 million in back wages from filipino caregivers -- four of them, i'm sorry, four filipino caregiver, which is a significant event. and what's really great about the work that the filipino community center does on wage theft is that there are volunteers who actually do a lot of the work and really connect with the workers and make sure that they know what their rights are, what their services are. it makes the filipino community center really stand out. and just this year the fcc was instrumental in the timely certification of filipino [speaker not understood] to be required to be provided for city s

authorityhe fcc the to repackage spectrum and reallocated. under current law, low-power television industry does not have automatic standing. in other words, they are granted licenses, but those licenses are subject to the availability of spectrum in a particular marketplace, and if you , thesege the spectrum low-power television stations don't automatically have standing to continue to have a license, nor do they have any standing to be compensated. though it is one of those nation -- niche issues that in the cannot scheme people pay much attention to. but the reality is, in certain markets low-power television major player, and in some rural areas it is the only player. so i have been approached by a number of low-power television participants in texas. i have also been approached at the national level. i have sent letters introducing legislation, working with congressman walden on a hill that we passed quarter past subcommittee. i have also worked with anna eshoo to come up with a the youan approach and that, instead of trying to get a bil

native american groups have added to the fcc file on the issue. some of the commissioners have made statements the redskins name may be on beingable. >> this is an issue already -- objectionable. >> this is an issue already before them and yet they are speaking out in my favor. >> it doesn't mean the thing is settled because while some commissioners may have personal opinions about the name, the issue in front of the fcc need to be decided by applying its regulations in regards to the radio station. stay tuned. jim osman, wusa9. >>> always watching always tracking wusa9 first alert weather. >> a pretty nice fall weekend awaits us. it will be on the chilly side sunday, in fact, probably the coldest air of the season rolls in. let's start with a live look outside, our live michael and son weather cam, 64 right now, pretty mild, relative humidity 65%, winds out of the south, southwest at 9. they will continue southwesterly until the cold front moves through tomorrow and gradually become northwesterly. a cool start tomorrow, sweater and jacket good id

we want a faster fcc, a smoother fcc, an fcc that is the silos that we looked at before in an analog world. you tell me who is a broadcaster, a cablecaster, telco, and tell me who has what roles and does it make sense to have them silo into a different bureau at the fcc. all of those areas need to be re-thunk. we will think about reforming the fcc. with regard to silos, but also keeping first principles. what's the fcc there for? to promote competition for the benefit of consumers and people sometimes competitors confused. it's competition, not competitors. advocating for competition will benefit consumers. all of us have access and the benefits, making them as secure as they can and redundant as possibly can. those are the kinds of benchmarks, diversity, access to network. really should be all about. if we have those kind of discussions. i say take the whole act. what would we do? what would the act look like if we're starting fresh, how we should start the process. 8:00 i know we'll never get a complete, you know, re-thinking of it. but i think from the want part of me, what do we

this is no longer the fcc of 1993 to 2001. they want today level the playing field and make the market safe for a individual investor. he knew the big boys didn't news protection. they got all kinds of money. but the wreckless affair, i think the obama administration has not done much. all of the changes that made the market faster and allow them to beat each other for quick tiny gains, they invade the marginals, they have etc selling and buying power. it protected us from endless short selling. the fcc approved or enacted all of these things that made the market more dangerous and difficult when things get bad and will do so again when we get a quick, sharp decline. if you expect the fcc so have your back, think again. if you think they have interest in maintaining the legitimacy of our stock markets, not so much. they generate maybe a fraction of a penny of profits. they were nonprofitized markets. now the for profit companies and their goal was to make money. nothing wrong with that. we're in a very different investing worl

some of the challenges facing the fcc. introductions right now by will marshall of ppi. >> this is a highly technical, somewhat arcane area of public policy. it's shrouded in impenetrable jargon about gigabytes and lte. and let's face it, how you allocate the electromagnetic spectrum is not exact lip the stuff of grand political narrative. it's not nearly as compelling as ebola or the war on women, but it's really important and that's why we're here today. as larry downs, our friend, is here today has written, despite all the sound and fury that surrounds the net neutrality debate, questions like spectrum shortage and other capacity shortages in the mobile space are probably going to have ooh bigger impact on our ability to improve and expand the mobile broadband ecosystem. so ppi has laid heavy stress in our work on protecting the environment for digital innovation. we think it is an urgent political issue. it ought to be debated and talked about. it is really key to a strategy which we think is the most important thing t

why did you go down the road of the fcc? >> we know more that moral persuasion is not going to change dan snyder. it's going to put a lot more pressure on him. this is the "r" word. no station would use the "n" word on the air. it's contrary to the public interest. it's a racial slur and american indians say the "r" word is the same thing. the u.s. supreme court says they are outside the constitutional protection. i fight for the first amendment but i got cigarette commercials banned when people were saying it's unconstitutional. and finally this is profanity. profanity is defined to include racial slurs by law, by federal law you cannot broadcast profanity when kids are around. at least the fcc should get it off the air when kids can hear it. i think as you said these three commissioners have spoken out and i think they're saying so broadcasters we're concerned about this issue you better be concerned about the issue or else as the chairman put it we're going to act on it. >> steven, why do you think this is a bad move? i r

the fcc chairman, seemed favorable. he promised to consider it. he said there are a lot of names, descriptions used over time that are inappropriate today. and he said, i think that name, that is attributed to the washington football club is one of these. so, given all of that. what do you think is going to happen here? what do you think the ruling is going to be, when? >> first thing, we'll be filing a similar complaint against stations in los angeles which has the largest urban population of indians. broadcasters are going to decide it is not worth their while to go through proceedings with licenses held up for years and years. and do the thing they should be doing all along. we will all be better off for it. used to have a team in washington we called the bullets. we changed it. the fans kept coming. >> clearly, debate with a lot of passion on all sides. going to have to stop there, guys. want to thank you all for your time. really appreciate it. >> thanks. >> now switching gears, coming right up after this break, derek jeter the most iconic ba

what they want to do is get the fcc much more involved. saysroposal he put forward they are prohibiting certainly -- certain isp contact which now is legal. whether it is prohibiting and off, it is not anything that will be authorized. >> there is the issue of some content getting favorable speed. that the cable provider could slow down certain content by their own decision thereby on favoring those businesses is a serious issue. legal alls been along. no one has done it and no one has offered that service. that is at the backend. >> that is the content, those technologies have been in place for 10 years. no one is talking about those. >> how long will we talk about this, when is there a decision? >> the fcc has two more meetings this year, both of them after the next set of elections. that does not affect them explicitly. it is possible they will issue new rules but whatever they do it will be litigation based on the last time that happened. at will be a couple of years before the next set of rules courts.ided by the the fcc is doing impo

the fcc is doing important work today. the issued rules that would ease the restrictions on how silly their infrastructure can be deployed and they looked at how we can get to five g services and we are still talking about net neutrality. >> one of the issues is people are imagining new companies. the companies that have made today will use that to secure deals with cable carriers to prevent anyone else. let's take over and left. what if your signals could get to you faster because they pay and lyft's competitor cannot get off the ground. do we want to have an internet that is regulated to the point that it allows for more businesses to start on equal footing. >> the way we have had that is light touch regulation. that is what is continuing to work. >> how do the other commissioners feel? >> there is a split. there are three new democrats and two republicans. the republicans think there is no harm that can be determined. the immigrants are walking a thinner line. they will go along with whatever the chairman comes up with.

[laughter] back to title ii, ifs fcc does move forward with that, would there be a lawsuit? >> guest: yes. >> host: would you file it? >> guest: there's going to be a lawsuit under title ii. i think we have a legally sustainable way forward under section 706 with mobile-specific rules. i think we are all comfortable with that path. i think that that's the way the fcc should go, and we should not throw more uncertainty into this debate. >> okay. equally fun but totally different topic, t.r. daily this week was looking at these below-the-line charges that are stuck on people's phone bills and something needs to be done about that because they're basically junk fees and consumers, a, don't know what the heck they are, and, b, don't know why they should be paying them. is there more the district could be doing to prevent those kinds of fees? what should your members do? >> guest: let's be clear, what you're talking about are third party, bad actors who are committing fraud on our consumers, and we absolutely need to be more cognizant and more looking at our bills more clearly an

complaint tohn's the fcc. he wants broadcasters to stop using the redskins name, claiming its use on air overtime is harmful. >> the constant repetition of that word harms. >> i think it is up to the country to decide whether this is an offensive word and whether or not we want it on television, not up to a professor at george washington. >> he has successfully battled to get commercials off tv. he says he is confident to get broadcasters to stop using the redskins name. >> i don't think you should ban people from saying the word. saves chairman of the fcc they would consider the complaint, saying there are -- >> the redskins have been called that for so long, but it is time for change. feel that it is. >> bears and tigers, except to they can't talk, but they might be unhappy too. kansas city chiefs are worried, i suppose. horace holmes, abc 7 news. countyce george's firefighters doing their part to raise awareness for breast cancer. check out their new fire truck. they are calling it the proud to be pink engi

with deals like a lot longer but i have been at the fcc a little less than one year. and in the commission time barely a blip on the radar but under the chairman's leadership we're moving at a very fast pace taking on many complex issues so by way of example we have options incentive option will will spectrum infrastructure spectrum said frontier. 17 competitive bidding rules joint bidding rules competition policy and i suspect the pace will not let up anytime soon. what we are busy working on these issues the wireless industry continues to involved in challenging ways but we just don't see challenges and that is what i want to talk about today's opportunity that we see in those with arab agenda at the bureau more specifically we see opportunity with wireless infrastructure to make more spectrum available is a new ways with broadband demand and to promote and protect the marketplace also to promote innovation was divert devices networks with policy innovation is important. in with that overarching strategic goal putting into three categories from infrastructure deploy

what you think of the chair the fcc?>> guest: i think is very bright and i like some of his ideas and others i would question but it's a matter of you put good people into a position come he's extremely bright and i think it's a good man to have an opposition that i don't think we will always agree but it's good to have bright people. >> host: morgan griffin a republican from virginia from the energy and commerce committee. thank you for being on "the communicators." >> guest: thank you. >> host: joining us on "the communicators" as representative leonard lance a republican from new jersey a member of the energy and commerce committee. congressman lance you just had a bill that passed. first of all what is spooking? >> guest: spoofing is very bad behavior where those who are fraudulent try to trick the public to get information from the public for a social security number or tax information and this is a growing problem in america particularly among senior citizens. the anti-spoofing act is extremely bipartisan in nature

i hearken back to my fcc days and even there looking at the discrimination case with a carrier wanted to do the party seeking to to make that decision had some burden to come forward to show that the tariff was discriminatory that there was no moving party just to wave the flag so i like we are going with the idea but i have to think if it is the right one. >> is the same approach the sec accuses complaints in the videos based? that they have the burden to prove that this was discriminatory and mentioning the blond yesterday -- the block yesterday at the roundtable the sec later out the alternative paths on the blog with the presumption that priority would be in violation. but they did not lay out the third approach which is what the sec is begging for which is the case by case but to show that they are efficient and less proven otherwise. but i have two more questions then we will go to the panel this goes to the sponsorship deals i went back january 2011 metro peace yes has unlimited data plan $40 a month with full service and u2 was included. the odor said those ideas are available

thehead of the fcc says agency will consider a petition to ban the redskins name from public airwaves. a law professor challenge the use of the name on broadcast television, saying it violates fcc rules against indecent content. not offer arman did timetable. he has previously said that he finds the redskins name offensive and derogatory, but hoped that dan snyder would change it on its own. >> dan snyder continues to say he will motte. -- not. >> the redskins have a home game next week. we have a while to go before that. a huge changes coming in the air mass will get a lot colder by the weekend. coverg issue is the cloud all morning long. [laughter] it has been cloudy. a time lapse. how cool is this? look at the raindrops on our camera lens. you can see a tiny little break there. overall, boy, the clouds have been tough to break today. we did get some decent rain in the last 24 hours. we had about 0.1 inches at dulles. near that as well, frederick. no more rain really expected today. couldn't rule out a stray shower. the moisture has been trapped at the surface. we are being controll

neil: absolutely. >> the fcc is offended more than anyone else.not come to dinner at my house on sunday, you will be completely offended. this is what people do. i think we need thicker skin. the redskins are happy to be called the redskins and let it be. >> you know, here's the funny part, right? do we even use the word? in my travels, which i've been all over the u.s., i've never heard anybody use the term redskin in a derogatory fashion, right? and you look at the logo of the redskins, it's a proud native american. there's a redskin theater up the street in oklahoma owned by a native american in tribal territory. it's not that offensive. it boggles my mind that we can watch "jersey shore" where they throw out expletives way worse than redskins. >> the fcc should come down on the "jersey shore," that completely offensive to people from jersey. >> don't you think the fcc has bigger things, seriously, to worry about. neil: with indians and the atlanta braves, and i don't know, it's out of control. >> it's silly and ridiculous. there are bigger pro

should the fcc ban broadcast networks from using the name of the washington nfl franchise?c.com to vote on that. that does it for this edition of "news nation." up next, stick around, andrea mitchell reports. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis like me, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage in many adults. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've ha

the professor's complaint to the fcc is aimed at one of the radio stations, a station up for license renewal. wordn't use that offensive unnecessarily and repeatedly. >> developer faster's complaint to the fcc -- he wants broadcasters to stop using the redskins name, claiming its use on air overtime is harmful. >> the constant repetition of that word causes not just psychological harm, but physical harm and violence. >> it is up to the country to decide whether or not this is an offensive word, and whether or not we wanted on television, not up to a professor at george washington. >> but the professor has battled to get commercials off tv and get fat reduced in fast foods. now he says he is confident he can get broadcasters to stop using the redskins name. >> i don't think you should ban people from stopping -- using the word. >> >> i know the redskins have been called this for a while, but times have changed. if a particular party or culture feels it is offensive, it is. >> [indiscernible] they might be unhappy too. kansas city chiefs are worried, i suppose. the professor says this

one of the most contentious public comment periods in the history of the fcc. you have taken a very definite view on this issue. where do you come down? >> the question at hand is, will you maintain that light touch, the regulatory approach i talked about or try to adopt something ch more jacksonian, mucmore different -- draconian, much more different than what we had before. what som are proposing is titledwo regulation, which is the way they used to regulate the copper telephone system. that is not the approach we should be taking for a 21st-century internet. >> critics say it is the approach we need when have such big, popowerful companies. most everyone has a choice of police two, if not three different broadband providers. the number of providers is increasing. speeds are increasing. of broadbandpeed connections increased 25% in the last year. inreally lead the world now access thigh-speed networks, next-generation networks, both wireless and fixed line broadband and cable connections. it is important to remember that when the fcc talked about title sorry,

the fcc is working on. joining us first from the energy and commerce committee, representative joe barton of texas. congressman barton, a lot of proposals from members of congress and different groups about how to treat net neutrality. your colleague, henry waxman, recently wrote to the fcc asking it to be reclassified as title ii. what's your reaction to that? >> guest: well, i respect henry i a lot, obviously, but he's wrong. they're trying to use an old law passed back in the 1930s for an industry that is in the 21st century. it's been proven over and over again that the best solution to the allocation issues and usage issues is an open, transparent market with appropriate oversight by federal and in some cases state and local government. we have a booming internet, we have a booming telecommunications system, and by and large, it's because in the last 20 years congress and various presidents have adopted more and more open, market-based policies towards telecommunications. so for henry or the fcc to try

the fcc has a right to regulate indecent content but i can tell you, there is indecent content and it the fcc is not going to come after democratic and say that they are doing anything wrong. this is political correctness run awry. enough is enough. there are market forces to determine this. >> and bill, it's the slippery slope sort of thing. it will go on to other things. >> the broadcast spectrum should be treated as private property. listen, when you have a deed to your house, you don't want to have to review it every four years. i think somebody who owns 100 mega hurts to 200 megahertz shouldn't have to renewhertz to shouldn't have to renew anything. >> it's a name that the american indians are proud of. they don't want the name taken away. this is political correctness run amuck. it's just awful. >> i disagree with you. the polling is very flawed and biased. most don't even have a phone in their home. let's change with governor norquist said, the washington reagans. >> the logo is a very proud ipd general. at least the logo should remain. >>> coming up, who are the wealthiest pe

the fcc considering banning the term redskins. broadcasters would face a fine if they stayed on air. >> this after a petition was filed causing a radio station to be stripped of the broadcasting license for using that term. he thinks the use of the term is inappropriate. >> we want to know is this the right call or out of control? is send us your comments on facebook, twitter or an e-mail at "fox frien -- foxfriendsfirst@foxnews.com. >>> they are caught stealing bags right off the carousel. then they are walking away. >> you have heard about brain boosting foods? what about beer? the new benefits. that disease is for older people. not me. i take good care of myself. i'm active. i never saw it coming....it hit me like a ton of bricks. pneumococcal pneumonia was horrible... the fatigue... the chest pains, difficulty breathing. it put me in the hospital. you don't want to go through what i did. if you're over 50, talk to your doctor. you may be able to prevent it. >> fox news lart. it is here on american soil. the first case of ebola

gives -- what is the fcc?ave worked with them so i know how bureaucracies can get out of control and usurp their power. the basic question is, is it a regulatory institution to help determine what the rules are? kind of likecc that. >> may i interrupt? is it an agency to design -- designed to help people like you understand the rules? financial engineers sitting inside financial banks that certainly do not need fcc to hold their hands. >> that may be true. the portfolio management area, i would not say we invent things. there are rules we cannot cross. rules to crossew in terms of going after people. >> is in the sec there to protect investors question mark >> they should make it clear what the rules are for people who are investing their money. are they regulatory helping me understand what the rules are, because there are no laws, or are they human -- unitive? ofit is the security act all laws4, these are that govern the sale and management of securities in america. >> when it comes to insider trading, what
