rural broadband industry submitted data to the fcc in 2013, the fcc has not yet acted on this plan. are there issues proposed by the rural broadband industry that prevent the fcc from acting on it as proposed and if you could lab rate on that i would appreciate it. >> thank you, congressman there are 114 different carriers in with a wash you represent the poster child of the rural challenge for rate of return carriers. and it is outrageous that, you know, if you are -- if you live in rural america, you're 30 times more likely not to be able to get broadband as if you live in an urban area. there are two components, we recent ly recently released $10 billion to seven carriers to build their too sillties, i loveseeing the report that they're going to spend $27 million to bring broad banned to this area, as a result of our fund ss then we go to the rate of return carriers. the challenge with rate of return carrier and how we deal with it the program has been in place for so long and the -- and the circumstances have changed over that period. as i say i agree strongly with commissioner

specifically, the fcc paved the way for d.e.'s to obtain a 35% discount on auction spectrum and then turn around and immediately lease 100% of it to a large incumbent carrier. now, at the time we were told that opening up new loopholes in our d.e. rules was a, quote, attack on economic inequality. this assertion is baffling. let's be clear, those who will profit from these new d.e. loopholes are specklator who is are already firmly ensconced in the famed 1%. case and point, under the new rules, donald trump would be allowed to own most of a d.e., get a taxpayer funded discount on spectrum and then lease all of that spectrum to at&t or verizon. so during the commission's deliberations, i made simple proposals to prevent this kind of abuse of the program. for example, i proposed anyone making over $55 million a year should be prohibited from owning a d.e. and getting taxpayer funded benefits. unfortunately, the majority rejected this and other common sense reforms. shifting gears. when it comes to broadband as congressman welch poi

now it is with the fcc. and now it is under this committee's jurisdiction. the good news is you haven't lost me. i'm still with you. but folks back home want to know why? what is the problem with the ftc that forced this change. and mr. pai, and mr. wheeler, one minute. chairman wheeler, why -- >> thank you congressman. as you know, the ftc act as large said it does not have jurisdiction over telecommunications and common carriers. and so when we said that isps were telecommunication carriers is triggered that. what your constituents should know is we work closely with the ftc. in their jurisdiction as far as edge providers and whatever we do, which is forthcoming in the next few months on our privacy proposals, we'll do our best to harmonize so that there is a common set of concepts that govern privacy. >> great. giving me time back. mr. pai. >> unfortunate natally the reclassification as common carriers had a two fold hit. first is dep riped because of the common care exemption. the fcc has been given auth

that's not an fcc law.that's going back to king john signing the magna carta 800 years ago this summer. i think part of the reason why i've been so outspoken about it is that if private actors from companies all the way to individuals don't know what the rules of conduct are, then they have no reason to know that their conduct is violating what the fcc thinks should be the rule. with respect to certain notices of apparent liability the agency has issued, it's almost more a quest for headlines first and we'll figure out the law later, if at all. but that is backwards. to me we should look at facts look at what the law is. if there's a gap in the law, let's change it to make sure people are abiding by what we think is proper conduct. we can't sanction somebody for violating a rule that they have no reason to know or don't know exists. >> okay. thank you. and chairman wheeler and commissioner, to the two of you, i'm curious about the broadcasters relocation fund and how those moneys are going to be spent. the

slen: so what is your opinion of the fcc's recently neutrality decision? mr. tayer: it was a very complicated debate and discussion. i think it is going to work out for everyone. i think the hyperbole on both sides got a little bit out of control. it became so politicized. i think it is all going to work out, but i do feel that the fcc, to some extent, took the country's eyes off the ball. the most important issue is more competition and ongoing innovation for those broadband pipes. the truth is then that neutrality decision -- and i would like to explain about it -- was more preventative than punitive. powell, who michael had been the chairman of the sec in 2002 -- the fcc in 2002 really got it right. declassified internet broadband at that time as an information service, not a telecommunications service. of 1996unications act makes that important distinction. the reason he classified it and the fcc classified it as an information service at the time was to be regulated, but to be more lightly regulated than the telephone monopoly, which was very tightly regu

what was the role in the fcc -- role of the fcc in developing digital hdtv. marc: they coordinate the plan by which the broadcast stations would get and it issue in oh megahertz channel such that they ,ould transmit a digital signal and that allowed a long-term transition. many years later they coordinated the plan by which the terrestrial broadcast stations would give up their analog channel, turn off analog and the air forever, fcc was also involved in the standardization process of the digital terrestrial broadcast system. marc: -- peter: you talk about in your book that your early contributors were the jd will rockefellers and andrew carnegie's of their day. marc: those media titans are still in charge of their media empires today. the individuals are john malone and rupert murdoch and a little younger. has come into his own as the ceo of comcast. ralph roberts died at age 95 just last week. these were the media pioneers and titans. understood something that was very important. i would say they understood it better than anyone else. content and technology

what was the role of the fcc in developing digital tv and then moving on to hdtv? >> guest: the sec had a central role in all of that. they coordinate a plan by which they broadcast stations would get an additional six megahertz channel such that they could transmit a digital signal, and that allowed a long-term transition. and then many years later they also coordinated the plan by which those terrestrial broadcast stations would give up their analog channel, turn off analog over the air forever, and the fcc was also involved in the standardization process of the digital terrestrial broadcast system which became called the grand alliance system. >> host: you talk in your book, in fact you open the book with the sentence that some of these video early contributors with the jd rockefeller's and andrew carnegie's of their day. >> guest: yes, and those media titans are still in charge of their media empires today. it's really a remarkable situation. the individuals i'm talking about our john malone and rupert murdoch and sumner redstone and a little younger and charli

so the fcc rule was completely removed. tom chose a third path. and that was to invoke the title 2 which had been -- the fcc had the authority, in my view, remembthey had the authority to decide it was title 1. they have equal authority to decide no, no, it's really title 2, but constrained. significantly. so what's the issue here? well, now under this current rule they have a basis for taking action if they think that the neutrality rules have been violated. however, there is this potential forward looking risk what happens if some new fcc and some future game decides to invoke all of the messy complexities of title 2, which were designed for a system for voice communication. which is a far cry from today's internet and probably very much a far cry from tomorrow's internet. so at some point this tactic probably has to be re-addressed so that we're going to do anything at all in the regulatory space, it needs to be tailored to a network. which i want to emphasize again must still be evolvable, it must be possible to add new products and services t

to the fcc. i am pleased to join you to discuss technological issues and potential solutions surrounding robo calls and number spoofing. illegal and more general unwanted robo calls come in many flavors. we heard a few described in great detail already. all are annoying. some are harassing, threatening, or deceptive. techd well-known irs and support scams, similar technology also facilitates swatting, that is false 911 calls claiming a crime in progress, or telephony denial of service attacks that interfere with the operation of nursing homes, hospitals, and other institutions. all of these, as distinct as they may seem, leverage the same enablers -- cheap anonymous international phone calls, easy spoofing of a telephone number, if it looks like a real number, like the irs, or a law enforcement agency, or even completely nonexisting numbers used simply to up to escape, and fake or misleading caller name information. fortunately, while new technologies have enabled the scourge of unwanted calls, e

and i don't mean that so much to criticize today's fcc, because the fcc does change hands. but to suddenly reclassify be all of that as a telecommunications service and suddenly be tightly regulated seemed a little bit like a bait and switch. and the reason i say that is because we still need an enormous amount of investment and innovation. now, i do think that will continue. i don't believe that the hyperbole of all the people who were screaming about this recent net neutrality fcc decision will come true, that investment will grind to a halt and innovation will be slowed down. it's all still happening. and the reason for that is that the stakes are just so high. the stakes for broadband innovation are so high. we don't have the benefit in the u.s. or situation, i should say, that some other countries who have much higher speed internet do have with their government. governments essentially subsidizing broadband infrastructure. in our country private industry is really doing it on its own. and so we need $100 billion more to be invested in our infrastructure. the current s

the fcc had a central role in all of that.they coordinated the plan by which the broadcast stations would get an additional six mega hurtz channel and then many years later they also coordinated the plan by which those broadcast station would give up their analog channel, turn off over the air forever and the fcc was also involved in the standardization process of the digital broadcast system which became called the grand alliance system. >> host: you talk in your book, you open your book with a sentence that some of these video early contributors jdrockfellers of their day. >> guest: they are in charge of the media today. the individuals i'm talking about are john malone, charley and bryan roberts, comcast. his father died just last week. these were really the med appoint -- pioneers and they understood something that was very important and i say understood it better than anyone else, which was that content and technology are really two sides of the same coin. they understood the digital technology, they comprehended that if

it's required by the fcc. trouble is they just don't make it very easy to find. on an iphone go to settings, general, then about, legal, then scroll down to radiation and then open it and look carefully at the fine print that you cannot make any bigger and you will see an fcc warning about holding the phone away from your body. >> berkley discovered that their citizens knew nothing about that. >> so the city passed an ordinance to include this statement. there is a line that children may be more at risk. an attorney for berkley says there are all sorts of government required warnings even on elevators. >> nobody ever thought there was a first amendment question raised. >> ted is representing the cellular industry. >> this is a matter of the first amendment. >> the city is attempting to put words into the mouths of cell phone retailers. >> the government can send its own message. it can broadcast and communicate in anyway it wants but it can't enscript private citizens to sell the government's message. >> here is the berkley message in its entirety. it is about a

>> that's what the fcc defines it. but the comments just brought up by the caller are exactly some of the problems that many communities, rural and otherwise, are facing in the united states right now. and the fcc is trying to fix some of them. one of them involves can a public utility or can a government, a local government offer broadband service in competition with what a comcast or an at&t might offer. and that's prompted serious political battles. the telecom carriers certainly don't want that to happen. they have complained to congress that the fcc has tried to break that log jam. but those are exactly the issues coming up ride now as some of the telecom carriers don't look to have that competition in their own backyards. >> linda is next. knoxville, tennessee, hi, linda. >> hi. first of all, i'm a history of technology major so i know something about this and there are federal subsidies for infrastructure have been in the u.s. since american history began, from canals to railroads, the california farm irrigation

this proposal will be voted on next week at the fcc and i'm strongly encouraging the fcc to adopt chairman wheeler's proposal. i am grateful that the fcc has used its existing authority modernize its rule. however, i also recognize in some cases statutory changes must be made to keep up with rapidly evolving technology. to that end this week i introduced and i'm very pleased to have cosponsorship with the chairman of this committee, chairman collins, we introduced together the robocall and calls the enforcement improvement act. this bill would give the fcc more enforcement of for allowing it go after nonlicensed robocall violators at increasing penalties on them. one of the other concerns we've heard from our law enforcement agency is there anybody take it ask spammers to spoof calls from overseas. is the would love to see to enforce our laws against overseas callers who directed activity to those living in the united states. additionally, the bill would grant the fcc explicit authority to regulate third party spoofing service. we have to stay on top of this because spammers, movers and ro

that led to an unregulated title and so the fcc role was completely removed. tom chose a third path and that was to invoke the title two which have been -- the fcc had the authority, in my view, remember, aml, right, they decide it is title one and they have equal authority to decide no it is title two but constrained significantly. so what is the issue here? well now under this current rule they have a basis for taking action if they think that the neutrality rules have been violated. however, there is some potential forward-looking risk. what happens if new fcc in the future decides to invoke all of the messy complexities of title two which were designed for a system for voice communication which is a far cry from today's internet and probably very much a far cry from tomorrow's internet. so at some point this tactic probably has to be readdressed so that if we are going to do anything at all in the regulatory space, it needs to be tailored to a network which i must emphasis must be evolvable and add new products and services to it and with you should not co

delay in the fcc getting to a point where you can make decisions.e public interest is served by getting to decisions and that we shouldn't eat building roadblocks along the way that would impact the ability for the fcc, for instance, to make the implementation of decision. so what is going on here is okay, there are specific that the fcc has to look at both during my tenure and all of the years that follow. the question is, will bear the traditional kind of process, which is open, transparent and somewhat rapid. >> that is the version of rapid? >> that's my point. that is why i said somewhat. the alternative is to slow it down even more. so what we are talking about is will the activities that are necessary to enforce the open internet rules be slowed down by the imposition of new processes that clog up the existing administrative process. >> these bills would do that right away. >> that is what is said to congress. >> i think republicans weren't too happy with me. >> you been having this issue quite a bit. eight days after the vote. how fun was tha

the fcc new pay ratio role requires u.s. companies to compare their worker's pay with their ceos.ighesto expose executive pay, executives play out there was a way to cheat the system. >> low we did when i was in treasury, setting compensation after time, we made that distinction between guaranteed compensation,ash and the remainder of the compensation stock over a long , tell the ceo will be tied to the value of the stock. >> that will never be repeated. that statue was a key all in time. >> unless there is another crisis. there is great outrage again. >> that is not the way we normally do things. you never see that statue replicated. >> they approved a metric of a pay ratio, is that a populist revenge? >> it is. the more sunlight you bring to how ceos get paid, what the factors are, what they have to disclose, just to let the public and the shareholders and the employees know, i think that transparency is a valuable step in the right direction. >> they want to compare it to the median of everyone else. the things the sec is doing to throw things out for the public to consider, wh

but the fcc is imposing it on working corporate america. this has been in the works for five years now, since the dodd/frank laws filed for it. but they are not talking about how much they pay the executives. it's weird, they have to close it in the public filings, and if you did the math, you woulding figure it out but they don't want that number out there. so the fcc got 300,000 comments on the proposed rule, for and against. the companies asked them to exclude foreign workers. many companies have been offshoring them and paying them less. you have a big part of your workforce in the philippines and china, and emerging growth companies, which means smaller companies, worth $1 billion or less in revenue will be exempt. >> can you imagined numbers? what kind of pay gaps are we talking about here, ali? >> they're big. biggest put the ratio between 3375 to 1. so the ceo earns between 3375 times what the average worker earns. some companies voluntarily disclose their pay gap. a gas firm in texas paid their ceo80 times more. and whole foods pay

robocalls and i'm pleased to say to master -- next to professor schulzrinne has been a vital role of the fcc appeared tackling robocalls and unwanted telemarketing that target seniors at the top rarity for the ftc. 11 years ago the commission established that do-not-call registry to create a tool for can arrest you protect privacy against unwanted calls. i believe the program has been highly effective reducing calls from legitimate telemarketers for several years ago as he referred to, the landscape started to shift in a very troubling way that robocalls are on the rise. in 2009, ftc received 60,000 complaints about robocalls each month. currently we get approximately 150,000 complaints each month from a dramatic increase. major technological joe's changes and services have led to lower costs and improve service is for can rumors. unfortunately fraudsters have taken advantage of the same lower costs which brought faster and cheaper automated dialing platforms. fraudsters have also further weighted caller i.d. spoofing in which induces the consumer to pick up the phone while enabling the scam

i want to talk about at the federal level, both other things the fcc may be doing.nd you mentioned the opportunities council. that the department of agriculture are co chairing. i might know it was something we called for 1742, for kind of an on going multiagency task force, to make sure there aren't barriers, how do you look at that process. what do you plan on doing with your time to help wire play. >> i think the broadband opportunity council is a terrific structure that oath can be done at the highest levels of government, everybody has to look at what are the things in my policies that have an impact on broadband? there's obvious things. can we have a policy -- can we lay fiber when roads are opened up for epa sewer grants. and multiple other kinds of things, the fact that the president has convened this kind of a group to say, okay, we're going to get introspective in our agencies and say, what is it that not because of malice aforethought, but we never just thought about the head of broadband impact is really important. in so far as what we're doing, i went t

in addition, the fcc has filed a civil complaint charging those individuals and a host of others withlar trading conduct. in a minute, i will ask mary jo white to describe her agencies days and kelly currys to describe his office's case. we have returned a 23 count indictment regarding hackers. three of the trading conspirators, marketing, igor with conspiracy and securities fraud, wire fraud and money laundering. they were arrested this morning at home in georgia. -the others are- believed to be of the ukraine and red notices have been issued whether arrest. we collectively have seized 17 bank accounts and brokerages that we believe contains $6.5 million and have collectively sees seen properties including a houseboat, shopping center and apartment complex. before we go further into the details, i want to ask jeh johnson to say a few words. the secretary is here along with director clancy because of the really extraordinary investigative work the secret service did in this case. let me say firsthand that it is not unusual, at least in this district, where we have had a run of stunnin

om: i think there is enough pressure from wall street that they acknowledged it in an fcc letter. google founders did not really give a dam about wall street for the longest time. they had to defend themselves against what these companies were saying, why they were not focusing. i think investors were right in asking where the focus was. i think investors were wrong for making them focus on the near term. a lot of companies suffer because they are forced to focus on the near-term by wall street, which is a very industrial era understanding of business. emily: and now they are saying, we will not accept the new google. but that is sundar's job. you are sticking with us. thanks so much for joining us today. another developing story we have to mention -- china, a surprising global investors by devaluing its currency the most in two decades. u.s. and global stocks tumbled on this move, concerned that china is headed for a greater slowdown. but the yuan cut could be could be welcome to apple suppliers, foxconn and pegatron. most of them pay most of their workforce in yuan and sell in u

at the same time they are seeking millions of additional dollars from the fcc.his stuff mixes in and when you don't charge properly, those communities ultimately get hurt. host: let's get the viewers involved. -- does this explain why taxes are half of my phone bill? [laughter] help: there are fees that the fcc fund access in areas that don't have phone service or broadband service. those dollars are very essential. without them they could not provide that access to rural americans who need it most. the fcc is working to retool that program to make it more fit for the digital age. if you talk to folks, democrats and republicans alike tell you that it is a universal service that is generally important to get americans the broadband that they need. host: james, thanks for hanging on the line. go ahead. caller: yes, good morning. guest: good morning. caller: i wanted to ask the young lady that is there also .bout this broadband stimulus what is the difference between this stimulus money going to this particular organization, the presidency and politicians running i

the fcc was the defendant in this case.is up to them to bring further appeals and to make sure that this incredible, misguided and damaging decision is overturned and we certainly expect to see that because the sweeping implications that i was describing earlier apply perhaps especially to the kinds of disclosures that the stock exchange disclosures that the securities and exchange commission routinely requires from -- we very much hope and expect to see further review on the several decision to be overturned. amy: with people increasingly walking around with smartphones, our conflict minerals a growing problem? >> well, i think the conflict minerals are not a necessary component of the electronics product that we all use. it is possible to source minimal -- minerals responsibly, including from the democratic republic of congo. in our analysis under the first filings of this law that were made last year shows that 20% of companies have complied with the law fully, so that shows it is possible. we certainly hope that more an

but in 2013, the fcc also proposed to support wi-fi users. proposals have been provided, but no consensus reached. the concern is that it could create a lag or latency in saving life-saving communication signals. so let me clarify. let's say vehicle number one is approaching an investigation with a green light. but the view is blocked by a building. using the application, the driver in vehicle number one can be alerted to the oncoming vehicle number two that is not slowing down. and it will allow the collision to be avoided. if there is in latency, for example, wi-fi user watching the video the accident likely would not be avoided. so until a solution is found for spectrum sheering, we want it to remain dedicated for safety-related applications only. an example of vehicle to infrastructure is the roadside weight and inspection stations where trucks stop along the interstate to wait in long lines that can create potential hazards. the volvo grip has already demonstrated technology using v to eye communications, protocols from the truck to the
