the trump fcc pulled that. trump fcc has repeatedly said they don't think they have any jurisdiction over the security of the network they have been entrusted to oversee. they pulled the requirements that we put in place for 5g cybersecurity. and what we are in the process of looking at is the opportunity to deal with cyber as a forethought rather than as an afterthought. >> okay. you know, i mentioned here as part of this thing the universal mandate, i know a lot of people probably think this is boring. it really isn't. the contribution of form regarding the universal service fund i think in 2006 this committee considered an effort aimed at ensuring a stable contribution base for universal service. universal service codify the police that all americans should have access to advanced communication services and row customers should have access to reasonably comparable services and reasonably comparable rates. contributions to the federal universal service support mechanisms are currently based on percentage of c

then came president trump and the fcc stepped in, well i should say, before trump, the fcc stepped in to stop net neutrality violations and stifled innovative technologies and allowed isps to pick winners and losers on the internet. they knew consumers would lose if the government sat by and did nothing and that's because the history of broadband is chock-full of bad behavior. i would like to introduce an article for the record from the free press detailing many of those violations with your permission, chairman? >> instead of standing with the american people, with the fcc's 215 order, when president trump came in, the trump fcc eliminated common sense net neutrality protections under the guise of promoting broadband investment. isps told the fcc what it wanted to hear and senior executives told a different tale to investors. hindsight tells us the isps were more honest to wall street than the fcc and despite the enormous tax benefits from the gop tax and the elimination of net neutrality rules, many of the largest isps invested less than in previous years and again the trump fcc ign

fcc. again i look forward to hearing from all witnesses today and your testimony and the responses to our questions. and mr. chairman, i appreciate the hearing today and i yield back the balance of my time. >> the gentleman yields back. the chair now recognizes mr. pallone chairman of the full committee for five minutes for his opening statement. >> thank you, chairman doyle. today is our first hearing since the loss of our chairman john dingell it's fitting this room is named the john dingell room. after all over 28 years as the top democrat on this committee and 60 yeerps in the house he fought to ensure the committee maintained broad jurisdiction, had deliberative debates followed regular order, conducted robust oversight and produced legislation in the public from. and in keeping with john's tradition today we focus our microscope on the proposed merger of two of the four large nationwide wireless phone carries t-mobile and sprint. collectively the companies directly employ more than 8

that merger was rejected by doj and the fcc in 2010. that deal would have led to doj and the fcc found higher prices, less competition to discipline the marketplace, less competition would mean less innovation and service plans, less robust networks, lower customer service quality, less incentives to invest and deploy. those things are all true here. but in some instances this merger is worse. we're actually eliminating both of the smaller maverick competitors that challenge and discipline the behavior of the two larger companies in the marketplace. there are also increasing harms to the prepaid market, low-income consumers, lifeline marketplace and then lastly, the roaming and marketplace those harms are exacerbated here between to at&t and t-mobile. >> mr. sheldon, if a sprint employee is working at a retail store and they lose their job because they are working across the street from a t-mobile store, is the claim being made that that employee will get another retail job in that area? or do you think rather it's potentially these job

the case mozilla corporation versus fcc is be used in the u.s.f appeals in district of columbia. they are deciding whether or not the fcc chairman ajit pai had the right to end the regulations in first place. matthew berry says the supreme court already did that. saying in statement that the supreme court affirmed fcc authority to classify broadband as title one information service. we continue to believe the judiciary will uphold the fcc tradition to return to the regulatory framework under which the internet flourished prior to 2015 and continuing to thrive today. but senator he had markky says he will introduce a bill to permanently reinstate net neutrality rules as law. quoting i'm at d.c. circuit court net neutrality is getting its day in in court. whether in the court or in halls of congress we'll fight to defend the free and open internet. the time to introduce his legislation he says is imminent. connell. neil: we'll continue to follow this with all the ramifications for business. thanks. >> any minute, president trump is set to depart th
