the trump fcc. and that's a mistake. >> what do you think of this new eruption and the debate which is the facebook was sharing data with some other chinese device manufacturers and some kind over on the hill? >> oh, yeah. but the reality is that we're existing in a situation where the impulse into silicon valley has been, hey, can you build? or let's say if we can fill in the blank. and the goal has been more to think about what can be built rather than what the consequences of that are. and so you shouldn't be surprised when you see consequences of sucking in as much data as possible. and then that that data has been used in ways that either weren't imagined or weren't discussed. >> uh-huh. >> and they're taking on a life of their own. >> tom wheeler, are the chinese, in your view,hreat within cyber security? >> so i think that we need to have cyber security protections for everyone. so i don't care whether it's the chinese or the iranians or the north koreans or the russians or the little sisters

was there an fcc in china? >> guest: i don't recall working with anybody. >> host: do you think our technology should be protected vis-À-vis qualcomsomem d f those chipmakers? >> guest: clearly the president did when he said we shouldn't do the broad calm qualcomm decision or merger. i think we are all competing in an interconnected party. the united states has the inter. we imprinted it here. we have been the cutting-edge of we need to do everything possible to maintain that advantage because we know what the chinese, everybody else will be trying to do the same thing and that is what happens in an open and competitive environment. >> host: a federal judge is expected to decide the fate of the at&t time warner $85 billion deal with the content assets with the video and broadband networks that at&t are to have. >> guest: i think you put that together with the repeal of opening internet we started talking about at the top of the show. and you look at what at&t is doing. they're moving into content. they are sayi

the fcc is doing that. the regulations adopted across the board to modernize roles, smaller companies that are critical to provide access, to give them a stronger case to reach those individuals. one example is a small company that serves the parts of vermont that the bigger players do not serve. they submitted a letter unsolicited to the fcc and the senate appropriations committee in which they said, we are investing formally in dollars to upgrade our 4g lte service that rural vermonters, spending many more millions on fiber deployment and we are optimistic about the future. the light touch approach is a major reason why. that letter is posted on the internet. happy to share it. that is an example of the power of the regulatory approach shaping how companies are willing to attack the divide. kim hart: in some ways it is less about the big companies that have the resources but more so about these small players who are operating who do not have the resources? ajit pai: i think that's right. another example u

the fcc is doing that. the license regulations were adopted across the board to try to modernize our rules to encourage companies, smaller companies that are critical to provide access, to give them a stronger business case are reaching those individuals. one example of what uses a small company serves the parts of vermont that the big play simply don't server don't want to serve. they submitted a letter unsolicited to the fcc and the senate appropriations committee which is set for the first time when investing $4 billion to upgrade our 4g lte service that rural vermonters, spending many more millions on fiber deployment and whittemore optimistic about the future than we ever have been and the light touch market-based approach of the fcc is a major reason why. that letter is posted on the internet. happy to share with anyone if you're interested but that's a simple example of the power of the regulatory approach in d.c. shaping our companies are willing to attack the digital divide. kim hart: in some ways

the trump fcc said, you can go ahead and do that. eating doneinoffs or that is what is going to happen. where that is going to happen. if you are going to provide local news and information on you would imagine you would have a local studio to produce that. long as anyone can remember, has said if you have a local broadcast license, you have to provide a local studio. administration froze that out. it leads you to believe, particularly as you are going through the process of allowing vast ownership, you are going to allow somebody to come in and have a new network information produced in maryland rather than in columbus. we have question for one one more question. seed: how does it feel to that happen? mr. wheeler: is painful. ye and i have different approaches to what the job of the fcc is supposed to be. i said in my confirmation hearing my job was to represent american consumers. think that is what we tried to follow. seems to think what is best for consumers is what is best for the company. the old what is good for america is goo

so it is done by outside firms who calculate the -- what the fcc -- whether it complies with the fcc calculations. many calculations are done remotely. >> my question was answered. thank you. >> okay. thank you. >> okay. nothing further? we will hear from san francisco public works bureau of use and mapping. >> so we followed the article 25 process in issuing this permit. if you have questions for the health department, they're here and so is the planning department. thank you. >> any questions for planning or health. >> i have questions for both. >> okay. >> start with planning. this, only one part of the brief that was provided to us, this is a zoning protected location. what does that mean for this particular location? >> sure. so the proposed wireless facility is located in zoning protected location as defined under article 25 because it's located in a neighborhood commercial district. >> when i read your -- the -- when i read the approval letter from planning, it doesn't respond to that very much. >> i believe at the time the approval letter was issued, that was before we had de

agreement and the fcc to comply. that's what verizon wireless will do. >> only the future will tell. >> thank you very much. >> i did want to say that bill ancisco is requiring testing san every two years of the facility and bill has been conducting those tests. san francisco is one of the most rigorous in terms of maintaining vigilance ove over the emissionn the city. >> thank you. ms. higgins, anything to add? okay. so commissioners, this matter is submitted. >> i have a last question for public health. this goes to the 100 feet. that came from -- is it dpw pulling that in as a standard, or was that suggested or required by public health? >> yeah. that was, as i said -- >> 25 was for? >> it was originally in the planning code -- planning department's wireless guidelines is where that started when article 25 of the dpw was passe2 maybe, 2013, something like that. i think things were gleaned from what had been done with planning in that 100 from the requirement as well as having the health department review the repor

i look forward to hearing about the fcc's lifeline reforms. oklahoma received the second largest funds which totals $128 million. there's areas of fraud that we have discussed before. and just because it's my state doesn't mean we don't need to be accountable to resolve the issues and glad to be able to help you as we help the nation be more efficient in our funding. the ftc requests $307 million to protect consumers and promoting competition. i'm interested how they are fulfilling their mission to competitive business practices in the marketplace. consolidation can fuel economic growth through the achievement of synergies and economies of scale but can have unintended consequences for consumers. you were sworn in earlier this month. this is your first hearing on the hill so far. >> this is my first hearing. >> yes. >> welcome. we'll try to have mercy on but after the first one it's merciless from here on out. we appreciate you here. you have been in this chair three weeks or four weeks? >> since may 1st. >> so not even a couple weeks here at

train to the former fcc official wrote about the broadband deployment advisory committee in the fcc. he said they are adopting a framework in which industry get all the benefit with no obligations in the municipalities will be forced to bear all costs and receive no guaranteed benefit. >> guest: i disagree with this analysis, but it's somewhat irrelevant because the broadband advisory committee is a recommendation. they are not setting the structure for us to adopt. they will provide this recommendation and we as commissioners have the right to modify, change or do what we want. the something commissioner carl have to decide how you want to take from those things. it is premature in terms of analysis. wait until you see what the commission develops and then the critique and go forward. >> former commissioner clyburn had been upset because they feel there is not enough representation. but it's overly dominated by industry. >> at another difficulty with the makeup of the more important thing is what is the outcome. much as go through the process. localities have had plenty of times to

. >> is it out of the fcc's hands? at this point? commissioner o'rielly: to be determined, but generally, yes. i have raised questions regarding authority under the statute. i think it is in congress's hands to address as they see fit. >> or the ftc's hands? commissioner o'rielly: they have consumer protection issues. we by taking action have restored their ability to protect consumers going forward. you have antitrust law as well. net neutrality? -- >> what are your thoughts about some of the states adopting net neutrality regulations on their own, specifically california? commissioner o'rielly: i am troubled. it interferes with something that is interstate in nature. we have a commerce clause. nobody can argue the internet is not interstate. it does not stop at political boundaries designed by geography or whatever reason they do not , stop at a state line. it is international. it is something that has to be governed at a national level and we can't have individual states designing rules. 29 states have tried to engage. that is pro

they have already won at the fcc and now the c counterrevolutions underway. here in the senate it is already happened. what we need to do now is to have the same level of energy. those millions of americans targeting the house of representatives and telling them that they want net neutrality and they want nondiscrimination principles and they want equalhe protection for the smallest of voicndt companies to be the law of the land. net neutrality. we need entrepreneurs and job creators and small businesses which are the lifeblood of the american economyeroct against the natural tendency of the biggest corporations to pump up profits at the expense of the little guys. you don't have to take my word for it, just looking back over recent history before net neutrality protections were codified we saw in 2007 and associat press investigation found that comcast was blocking a severely slowing down bit torrent, a website that allowed consumers to share video, mic and video game files and in 2007 and 2009 at&t forced apple to block skype and other competing services fr

the fcc will not have the last word when it comes to net neutrality. the american people well. we are going to have a tsunami of americans contact their members of the house of representatives to demand a vote on net new trial be the same way we have the vote here on the senate floor. we know when the vote takes place that the american people are going to win. this net neutrality is going to win. but nondiscrimination is going to win. too many people think today that this whole idea of discrimination you can start talking about it in a way that has not been a part of our culture for a generation. but it's back. in a lot of ways, net neutrality is part of the whole discussion of whether or not the american people get protect did against discrimination. we now have enhanced urgent need because the role of the fcc are now vital and net neutrality is no longer the law of the land. that is what happeneday to them. the chairman of the federal communications commission ajit pai is taking his big to relax. he is so proud of what has nowen happened at net neutrality is taken off the boo

i think the market is much broader, much wider than what the fcc or the d.o.j. was d.o.j. being sued and being challenged on a decision it made and i think they need to change their viewpoint of what's in the marketplace today. there's a lot of things competing. judge leon hit on this. the providers are incredibly persistent and effective in winning the hearts and minds of consumers and has to be respected and acknowledged as part of an analysis on whether particular transaction can go forward. i actually think he did a service to the mergers and i think that will have an influence on other things that are considered but more importantly he's helped define a broader marketplace which is something i've advocated for for quite a while. >> speakin: : : two think the 39% rule is arbitrary? >> i do. : : : and then we will see it get litigated out with different opinions. >> host: a lot of credit's say that the meeting is set to benefit the sinclair merger. >> i've written about this at length it isn't about sinclair. it's to bthat's to be determinee will address this

wider than the fcc or doj. sued. the doj being theireed to change viewpoint of what is in the marketplace. a lot of things competing. the judge hit on this. they are persistent and effective winning the hearts and minds of consumers. it has to be respected and acknowledged. i think he did a service. i think that will have influence on other things considered. it helped define a broader marketplace. >> speaking of that. you have media ownership rules. the 39% rule is arbitrary? >> i do. it is a strong word. something congress did. addressing awas particular transaction. does not reflect the current marketplace. they do not have authority. i believe it no longer bring -- makes sense. i don't agree with 39%. the ability to change that is something congress needs to do. i have said i will vote for it. we will see it litigated out. different opinions. >> a lot of critics say the july 12 meeting is solely to benefit the sinclair merger. >> i have written about it. it is not about sinclair. it is to be determined when littl

>> yeah, so we use fcc data as well. wh we find is it's often delayed by two or three years, 2014, 2016 data. i'm not part of that conversation about getting better data, but i'd be interested to know how expensive it is to update those data sets faster. and whether money allocated for other things can be put towards maps. there are a lot of other things that the fcc is spending on and that could just prioritizing maps could be one way -- >> i'll simply add, going back to mr. reed, and then i'm way over on time. butnobody's really happy with these maps. >> that's correct. >> and you seem to suggest that there is a better set of data. >> there are. but given our time constraints right now, i'm happy to sit down with your committee staff and talk about the ways that some of our data scientists, as well as folks that you know, dr. oh, on ways that we can pull the dat from existing sources as well as, the fact that most americans are carrying a smartphone in their pocket. how do we access information on the wireless side rig

>> fcc information and other data in the state. we recently had over 50 ceos in town and i had 100% of my 50 ceos said they're willing to work with people and do right now hire people who aren't in their state. and the problem we have in a state like mississippi when they train them and they go home and they don't have broadband, how are people going to hire them? frankly, i'll hire the people if they can do the job and trained them well. they've just got to have the broadband. there are several projects around the country right now you're seeing in place. and what you're seeing right now is its primary uses in rural. the difficulty with last mile, if you've got a rural population that's 9 miles from the nearest, it's incredibly spensive to pull a line down for five or six family. but if we can use tv white spaces, the gaps in between to get connectivity to rural populations then we can change their future in term of living where their from and competing in the global job market. >> which companies -- don't name the names of the co

consider that to remove the barriers that exist today with further broadband deployment that the fcc and congress can do to make it faster for members to deploy what do i mean? it isn't a sexy issue but we talk about pole attachments all the time and what it takes for one of the member companies to attach to an investor on utilities pole and in the process to permi the cost to make that ready for attachment, consultancies, engineering fees, time for plication, if theyan be streamlined through the infrastructure to realize the better these communities will be we will all be better off to get broadband into these challenge markets. e average pole attachmente but rate 31 saint is $7.80. avets particularly in the southeast where they could be four times that amount almost $20 when you think of that investment to reach that sparsely populated area retards our ability to make those investments the community say we want you to see the cooperative to say that this price. we are workid wing har the federal communications commission is meeting today thanyas been involved in the process just to

it'll talk to the fcc chairman aj pai dow is down ten.ley back in a moment. >>> we will speak to fcc chairman ajit pai shortly. tomorrow, one man might change the future of media, as we know it senior judge richard leon for the district of columbia will decide whether to approve at&t's billion dollar acquisition of time warner. and rico's co-founder and editor kara is with us. thanks for being here. >> on set. >> on set. here i am. >> landscape for m & a when it comes to mia a technology is shifting either way, what's the impac this at&t/time warner decision going to be on what we see over the next three to five years >> it will probably go at&t's decision everybody thinks that. it depends on the rules that the swrunlg puts in place around it, if at all. once it rules in their favor, which most people feel would be a shock if it didn't more smchlt & a. everybody needs to bulk up this bulking up of all the companies not just the telecodes but all the companies is inevitable as they try to compete in all areas from distribution, content, en

these are things the fcc and congress can do to make it faster for members to deploy. it is not a issue, we talked about pole attachments all of the time and what it takes for the member companies to attach an industrial utility pole in the process for permitting for the cost of what is consultancies, engineering fees, and time for application if they can be streamlinedhrgh the process of infrastructure to realize the faster we get broadband out there, the better the communities will be at will be and we will all be better off in these challenge markets. >> i agree it's not a glamorous issue. we have areas that the average attachment rate about $7.80. we've got markets, particularly in the south these was four times that amount. when you think about reaching the very sparsely pulated areas we serve that need multiple polls, it really her ability to make those investments make a community thing we absolutely want to see you make that investment with cooperative saying at this price. the federal communications commission broad and deployment advisory is meeting today. th

the fcc had vowed to repeal the obama-era regulations. it would keep internet service providers from expanding networks. >> the consumer will bees build better, faster, cheaper internet access. >> reporter: the repeal led to a public outcry with dozens of internet companies joining in on line. >> the joint resolution is passed. >> reporter: democrats pushed for legislation to reverse the fcc's rollback, but the republican-led house has yet to vote on it. mark stanley is with the internet advocacy group demand progress. what is your biggest concern? >> my biggest concern is that the internet providers will use their power to basically block or slow down traffic or charge sites and services extra fees to reach customers. >> reporter: the fear is broadband internet providers like comcast and verizon could charge tech companies like netflix and google to guarantee their services are seen in homes across the country. critics say smaller websites that can't afford to pay would end up in the internet slow lane, making it harder for their sites t

fcc chair talked about the future of the internet. mike: so, congressman, we're going to start with a quiz. i am going to describe a public figure and you're going to tell me who it is. mr. schiff: oh, no. mike: one. very talented. two, very smart guy. three, great negotiator. mr. schiff: yes. well, sadly, that's trump's description of kim jong-un. you know what a surreal world you're in when that's the description of the north korean dictator. weak, obnoxious, and dishonest is the description we give the canadian prime minister. mike: what do you make of that? what is the consequence of that? as we would say, why does that matter? mr. schiff: well -- what do i make of that? i make that we are at greater odds with our allies now than ever before in my lifetime. mike: but what does that mean? what's the consequence of that for our guests? mr. schiff: i think the consequence is that our security is weakened. our alliances are weakened. when we need our allies, there is less likelihood that they will respond in kind because we have ridic

here's what the fcc chairman said this morning. >> going forward, we have empowered the fcc to take actiongainst any company, including those in the situation that you mentioned, that might act in these base. so we preserved the incentive to build out better, faster, cheaper internet access for consumers. >> that's actual will you what net neutrality allowed to happen. he's saying they're going to make that happen without the rules that kept net neutrality in place. >> he was just here on the floor of the new york stock exchange and we talked about it a little bit. he's of the mind that it's precrime. they haven't done anything and if something happens they will enforce it. the issue is a lot of this is about who h on the internet and who runs the internet. one of the things is that things have changed and companies like google and facebook have a lot of power now. they had fought the net neutrality rules many years before when they wanted more access. the question is, who runs the internet? and if the internet is going to be run just by giant powers like these, including comcast and veriz

the fcc is restoring internet freedom order takin effect today.w, fcc chairman, agit pi. i've admired you for so long. i know that net neutrality is an important issue and many on the left and the democrats think is one of the most important issues. i look at polls, the top five. i have to ask you, why? and secondly, what does a practical effect of the action you're taking today on anybody this roomearching on the internet? >> the bottom line is the internet will be better tan effort. better, faster, cheaper. internet service has been on the wrong side of the digital divide. we'll see new applications and services go forward. so a lot of the fear that politicians and activists putting out there will be misinformed. >> dana: the senate passed this. here's chuck schumer. he said it's clear as day to every american, that with the exception of three republicans, the republican representatives in the congress cse to protect special interests and their big corporate over middle class families and entrepreneurs and everybody that relies on the open inter

your critics say the fcc is lying. can you respond to that?s and i think they made the decision they thought was appropriate based on the facts. >> was it that it was overwhelmed by the traffic. >> i rely on the i.t. experts to advise us. >> thank you for being with us. >> entrepreneur earned the nickname 100 mile man for running an ultra marathon. he's in the green room to talk about his latest challenge >>> jesse itzler is known for taking on extreme challengers. he trained with a navy s.e.a.l., remember that, ran a 100-mile marathon and climbed mt. washington in more than 6,000 feet high in a snowstorm as one does. as owner of the atlantic hawks, he co-founder of marquise jets. he wrote a book "living with the monks." jesse joins us at the table. good morping. >> good morning. >> you admitted in a book, you're a ready, fire, aim person. you don't think ahead. you go to the monastery and shave your head and you were the only guy who was bald. they don't do that anymore. >> right. u wanted to have a precon received idea. i wanted to go and en

host: a recent convention you had, you heard from the fcc chair, chairman pai. where do you agree with him and where don't you? aca summitme to our in 2014 when he was just on the job, and now he has come a year later. interesting to hear from him, particularly his views on changing, revealing title ii, implementing destroying freedom order, which the commission did in the fcc, and his focus on broadband development. there has been no greater advocate from a standpoint of recognizing the service that has been provided by smaller providers, small broadband providers in small communities, and that has been terrific. we applaud him. in fact, most of his border was based on the statement of our members, the emphasis of title regulation under the previous would create a chilling effect on my further broadband deployment. it would not encourage it, it would discourage it. had terrificai stories about how he has seen firsthand what our members are doing for my broadband perspective and why that needs to be encouraged. chairman pai is a terrific friend and advocate that

. >> tonight, on the communicators, former fcc chair talks about the end of net neutrality. interviewed by dad mccabe, technology reporter for axes >> the conversation of net neutrality has shifted toward legislation. do you think it is possible to legislate this issue? fascinating the republic has been in position all along. when congress has an opportunity to decide this with the congressional review act that is passed in the senate, and a bipartisan way, and is now pending in the house, that the republicans in the house and industry will say congress should not do it. look, if the chairman of the fcc has the courage of his that's what he has and is right for america, will stand up to a vote in congress, he ought to pick up the phone and call speaker ryan and say, schedule it for a boatswain outs -- for a vote in the house and lets you at the america people say. was the communicators tonight on 8:00 eastern -- at 8:00 eastern on c-span two. >> and important issue to me in the state of utah is our use of water. the new desert state, we need to focus on how we use our water

we have to show emissions and comply completely with the fcc standards. we hired a professional engineer's report showing emissions from this facility and they're well below the fcc standards. b.p.h. under article 25 has to confirm it complies -- >> commissioner: the question is can you use the duel and tri and you answered the question. >> if it's modified we have to file again. >> clerk: mr. higgins, do you have anything further? >> i have a question for ms. higgins. >> commissioner: there's no raul. you're solo now. congratulations. so the question is someone mentioned how often do people ask for the readings of the antennas. is it through you or department of public work. >> they did say the applicant has to have a procedure for these requests so i believe a lot of times what i tell the public is to contact the applicant at the notice listed on the filing determination. i believe that's what people are doing without going to me. i do get sometimes where the applicants know me and -- sorry, the public knows me and will copy me in the request. since jan

i do believe that this is what the fcc historically has looked at. the question ought to be whether these kind of commitments could be solidified with the fcc's review of the transaction. it's not usually what the justice department wants to engage in. >> agree. >> i think the question will be whether the incentive to build out into the rural areas will be sustained at the same level when there is just one company that is pushing it rather than to companies that are worrying about who is going to push it first and harder. i think there's going to be potentially an advantage to keeping both of them in their that the justice department will look at. now that ituestion, is on everyone's mind, millions of lower income customers rely on prepaid plans to access services. for many people, this is a primary connection to the internet. of is this combination sprint and t-mobile under common ownership in your mind affect the prepay? >> to the extent that the justice department views as a separate market, which will be an open question, but certainly ought to g

look, if the chairman of the fcc has the courage of his convictions that what he has and is right for america will stand up to a vote in the congress, you got to pick up the phone, call speaker ryan, and say schedule it for a vote in the house and let's see what the representatives, the american people say. >> watch "the communicators" monday night at 8:00 eastern on c-span two. >> next week, life coverage from the u.s.-north korea summit between president trump and north korean leader kim jump in. then join "washington journal" tuesday and wednesday morning for analysis and your comments. -- north korean leader kim jong-un. tom reilly talks about his vietnam war service, including his time as army radio operator and war correspondent for the "stars and stripes" newspaper. he also describes his close encounters with a land mine and a hand grenade. the witness to war sundays and conducted this interview, which is a little over an hour. -- the witness to war foundation conducted this interview. emily: all right. today is august 14, 2012. this is emily carle. i'm here in brookhaven, geor

the fcc contends the change will ultimately lead to more networks and choices for consumers. >> these rules were standing in the we have companies for decisions to spend money building networks. it's a hard and expensive. the heavier the regulatory burden, the less likely they will do it. >> opponents said it could harm small companies and stifle competition. meanwhile, nancy pelosi warns that the brazen giveaway to big corporate interests will soon hit consumers and small businesses with higher costs and less choice, jeopardizing the entrepreneurial american spirit that is the envy of the world. >>> supervisor london breed has a slight read in the mayoral race but it is still too close to call. over the weekend, breed had the lead of more than 1500 votes over mark leno. breed has 50% of the votes, so far. thousands of ballots are still to be counted. the elections department has until july 5 to declare the official winner. >>> the golden state warriors are getting ready for the championship parade. the city of oakland put up barriers on the parade route with more than 1 million fans

i do believe this is what the fcc has historically looked at. do these kind of commitments happen to be really solidified. not usually what the justice department wants to engage in. i think whether that incentive to build out into the rural areas will be sustained at the same levelam when there is just one company that is pushing it rather than to companies that are worrying about who's going to push it first and harder. in the prepaid market. millions of lower income companies rely on those plans. this is a primary connection. senator, to the extent that they view as a separate market which would be an open question but certainly always gets scrutiny. more than 40% of the prepaid market. this one will be. for justice to determine. t there are very few players. i think there is potential dangers. they really can't afford to pay'to for the smart phone and the bigger package of service. this is something on the straight market economics justice would have a hard time with allowing j that is a great deal compared to 80 or $90. if he goes to 40 or

the end ofme after the fcc vote rid of them. there were a number of shady incidents surrounding this. the fcc had claimed its website d been hacked now we know it wasn't. a lot of very fake public submissions supporting the chge, we know they are fake because the fcc file shows people in this building with their names and home addresses writing in to support the end of net neutrality, they absolutely swear they did not. this is not something unique just to us. lots of americans found their own name and their home address and found they wrote in to support the end of net neutrality and have no idea what everybody is talking about. >> well, i guess if we see something, what should we do? >> there's not much you can do because the fcc has voted. based on your opinion you sent in. >> but i didn't. all right, thank you, scott. >> okay, so a lot of you probably have family visiting living in the bay area. they want to visit you. they may soon have a new place to stay. that's if you live in san jose. a new hotel may soo reportedly fill
