it announced that it would break with over a decade of consistent fcc policy and repeal the fcc's open internet rules. the ones that were held up by the court. the public backlash was overwhelming. maybe you rememberr it. people lit up our phone lines, clogged our e-mail in-boxes, and jammed our online comment system to express their disapproval. despite overwhelming opposition from the public, the fcc repealed net neutrality. in fact, the fcc's actions were so extreme that the united states senate voted to restore the agency's open internet protections. i believe this repeal of net neutrality put the agency on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of the public. it was not good then, but itt makes even less sense now. it determined that this infrastructure, which the pandemic proved so essential for modern life, needs no oversight. i think that's wrong. so today we begin a process to make this right. this afternoon, i am sharing with my colleagues a rulemaking that proposes to restore net neutrality. this is a first step. when we vote on this rulemak

in 2015 when the fcc laughed at the policies upheld by the court, the fcc chose to.c forber 27 provisions of title ii of the communications act and over 700 agency regulations for broadband and broadband providers. we are sticking with that approach. they say this is a stocking rate regulation. no, no way. we know competition is the best wayul to bring down the rate for consumers and approaches like the affordable connectivity program are the best bet for making sure service is affordable for all. they say nothing bad has happened. again, states stepped in and created by the fcc retreating from net neutrality. i think it is time for washington to step back in with a national policy to make sure internet access is fast, open and fair. so what happens next? on thursday i will release the full text of the rulemaking that seeks comment and putting back in place policies to prevent your broadband provider from engaging in blocking, throttling and paid prioritization along with a general conduct rule that prohibits broadband providers from unreasonably interfering or disadvantaging consumers fr

and that's without a democrat majority on the fcc. with a majority, there's no telling what regulatory excesses the chairwoman could inflict, from forcing antiquated telephone monopoly rules, to regulating rates in terms of service, to crippling new legal risks on companies. make no mistake, a vote for anna gomez is a vote for regulating the internet as a public utility. ms. goamentz has public publicly supported the reinstatement of the heavy-handed obama era net neutrality rules that would make the internet more expensive and slower for american households, despite privately confessing that democrats engaged in wild hyperbole of net neutrality. rather than giving statements of the net neutrality rules, she claims she wants robust authority over the internet. in other words, the power to regulate companies' pricing and terms of service and to collect billions of dollars in new taxes from them and from you, the consumer, all at the expense of investments and innovation, and consumer choice. she has also refused to disavow the ongoing

and if you set aside the authority of the fcc ? >> i think the opportunity to expand the contribution base in a way that actually will reflect the modern connectivity landscape requires us to expand that is to include the big tech internet companies. we do know that the dominant internet big tech companies now have market capitalization in the axis of $9 trillion. if we want to have a universal service fund that is a fundamentally reformed and capable of doing its work, ensuring we can provide operational expenses to expand and upgrade and repair networks, it is time for those dominant companies to fairly and reasonably be part of the solution set. you are not at the table. >> there have been proposals to assess contributions paid for by broadband providers based on revenue generated from broadband services are based on the number of subscribers or connections provided, but what challenges do you see there and i will give you a chance to respond to that, dr. wallsten. but what challenges are there? >> the inclusion of broadband ser

fcc needs to look at. >> my time expired. thank you for the witnesses being here today. >> the chair now recognizes the gentle lady's from michigan's 6th district for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chair and thank you ranking member matsui for holding this hearing. i think we're all talking about a lot of issues, we could probably use a lot more hearings on because the media landscape has changed so much since our last hearing on this topic and we really need to be talking about what congress should be doing, how we work with you. there's so much we can talk about, but because the time is limited i'm going to talk about the state of programming for children. our best local broadcasters often remain the back bones of our communities not only providing critical journalism and emergency alerts, but also contributing in other ways beyond the screen, such as hosting community service projects, job fairs and food drives. i love all of my local cal stations and everybody lost that. for years, they were the broadcasters for trusted

the fcc initiated enforcement action and the statute using fcc the power to do that even in federal court or through an in-house proceeding which like anastasia said is like being the judge of your own standup comedy routine. so the fcc brought a claim alleging securities fraud among other things that he misrepresented invested safeguards and charged hundreds of thousands of dollars in penalties. they raise several constitutional claims, seventh amendment claim, nondelegation claim and removal claim. he lost all of them at the in-house proceeding within the fifth circuit considered each of those claims and ruled in his favor on all of them. let me quickly talk about those claims in turn because they're all up for supreme court review in the upcoming case. in the seventh amendment claim, that revolves around the fact that in the interest fcc proceedings there's no jury right and, of course, the seventh amendment guarantees individuals, the right to a jury trial. the supreme court has drawn this line between public rights which are not afforded the seventh amendment right and also private r

the fcc has the ability to examine the regulations and make-- >> thank you very much. mr.irman, thank you again. i yield back. >> the gentleman's time expired and the chair now recognizes the gentle lady from florida's 3rd district for five minutes. >> wonderful. thank you, mr. chairman for holding this hearing today and thank you to our witnesses for appearing before the committee. i'm actually fascinated by this issue because it is so rapidly changing, this environment that it's hard to keep up and so, as a cord cutter myself, i just-- call me twitter-pated, i'm sure my staff loves that right now. and jumping in, you mentioned that fubo plans to introduce ai products designed to

and have been covering long before anyone else the very opposite is true a recent deal between the fcce chinese government, circumvents u.s. law and allows china to audit its own firms throwing american investors into the wolves, this is why our committee exist to have the tough conversations and force wall street in congress to act before it is too late. maria: i wonder if we see communist china go win, invade taiwan and try to acquire taiwan. is the right move to d register and delist those chinese companies from u.s. exchanges? >> they did something as extreme as trying to invade taiwan that move would be table stakes, we will be contemplating things far more aggressive than that. if we don't start holding them accountable now you can have a chorus of major wall street executives, major lobbyist trying to convince members of congress or the executive branch not to act. the other thing we tried to impress on our friends in new york is the starting parallel that we are seeing wall street pushing trillions of unwitting americans using financial engineering to scrape the rules and lobby

there is no sense the fcc, we know they have expanded the probe here in the idea of looking at more privatedge funds, apollo, blackstone all facing these questions when it comes to communication from employees and how the fcc looks at it. citadel going above and beyond is significant for the industry. dani: speaking of probes and scoops, the breaking story today about ubs, credit suisse and the doj. what's going on? sonali: we have an indication doj, has alerted ubs executives particularly u.s., that there might be elected sanctions violations among clients of credits weise. they are looking at it. it's early. ubs shares reacted. when the doj is looking at communications and business with russian executives and wealthy individuals, that could be in violation of sanctions rules, they are looking at ubs and other banks. this is early. you're seeing this overhang. with ubs, into the summer, they already settled a number of investigations regarding credits weise -- credit suisse. you have them moving quickly to clean up legal matters but this is a new issue. alix: they set aside money for reser

when we reached out, a spokesperson said the fcc does not oversee how 911 call centers are regulated under state law. the fcc issues a survey to the reporting jurisdictions but cannot compel the reporting jurisdictions for all information requested. >> as for oakland, for more than two months and after more than a dozen emails and calls to all of these oakland officials, none of them agreed to sit down with the investigative unit and talk about the cities 911 problems. they cited the civil grand jury response process that they need to follow. but with thousands of 911 colors impacted by the problem every month. >> it's nice to have you back on the program. >> we raised issues during an interview in a recent newscast. >> office a long wait time is clearly unacceptable and my administration will be tackling this issue with urgency. >> i have been sitting here for at least eight minutes. i cannot imagine that no one has called you guys. >> i do apologize for the delay. >> there making the city it like it is a joke. that's how i feel. >> outside of individual jurisdictions, there is no s

switching gears the fcc has made a mandate protecting consumers and their privacy. under the mandate to do you think it's appropriate for the ftc to propel a company to maintain consumer data including personal identifiable information? >> is there a particular context you are thinking about it? >> i just wonder your overall feel of the issue. i can't exactly say who asked the question for their own anonymity but i wonder what's your overall feel about including the data that has their personal information? >> overall the goal is to protect the privacy and security of americans data and what ultimate remedy we are seeking is generally speaking designed to minimize the data collected i'm not sure with what specifics you are referencing. >> do you think it's appropriate to suspended the collection of the data in the name of protecting consumer data as a whole? >> again i would be happy to look into these matters but a key goal of the reasons privacy work had been data minimization to limit what data is being collected because we see that's the best way to minimize the

fcc which is the framework for the convention on climate change, as a result of that, we have had many meetings to deal with it. many people are aware of the c.o.p., the committee of parties who come together and come to a consensus on what the world and what should particular countries achieve. this real crisis that we have. the problem is that at a theoretical level, there is an agreement, but on a plaque level -- on a practical level, individual nations have to commit to certain changes. and their domestic politics or geopolitics comes into play where those commitments fall out of line. for example, who is to bear the burden of it? the financial burden? 12% of the global population is responsible for 50%, if not 80% of the emissions, which has created this crisis. as a result of altering the weather patterns and melting the glaciers, and creating havoc which has a direct impact on lives. earthquakes, flooding, etc.. on one level, the responsibility is all of ours. but the aggressors or those who are contributing towards it are only 12%. will they be taking the charge for the burden

agree with you, congress needs to step and the fcc can't do it. congress needs to fix it. we applaud you and mr. scalise's legislation, you have been pushing this for four, five sessions now and i don't think the situation has gotten any better. >> no. >> it's deteriorating. you can see it in my blackout charts and it is an important topic for the committee to address. >> and to the witnesses that i haven't asked questions here, you'll be receiving mine in written form, appreciate all of your testimony and with that, mr. chairman, i yield back. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman from the fifth district for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thanks to the panel for being here and thanks for the service that is you provide. the video marketplace has changed dramatically to say the least, even the last few years. consumers have more options than ever to customize what works best for them based on price, content, connection and more as they ought to. i myself use over the air service to get my wonderful local broadcast channels. i hope that

he is not somebody who loves regulations, but he deals with the faa, fcc, the highway transportatione future. >> at one point you write musk told you that he should be focused on ai instead of buying twitter, now called x, telling you, quote, i don't know why i did it. the judge basically said that i have to buy twitter or else, and now i'm like, okay, expletive. he wanted to help democracy and free speech. you suggest it was more personal. >> yeah. did he want to buy twitter? he does it on an impulse. he is on vacation, sort of, or in hawaii, and he just sort of blusters into this, because he loves the product. people said, does he want to do it? well, some mornings he did. other days, he was really upset and tried to fight having to go through with the deal. in the end, there were multiple reasons that he got excited about owning twitter. one is that 20 years ago he started x ai, which was something that morphed into paypal. he also had moved his politics a bit. he had a daughter who had transitioned. he felt she had become marxist. he felt twitter had gone to the left. you be the

under the leadership i would say failed leadership the fcc has been an incompetent cop on the beat. throughout his career, he's been relentlessly to the biggest institutions at the expense of everyday americans. today he's going to face some important questions about that. he's worked to consolidate his own power even though it means crushing opportunities and the financial future of the country. the strategy hasn't been successful for him as you note read believe this or not i miss getting chased through the halls of congress. last night i got to get that opportunity again coming back to work as we were doing the vote pre- and post as well as the other things. if i could share a little bit of a health update for you and then we will get into the issues of the day and the week and take your questions, but a little over a month ago i was diagnosed with myeloma as you know, but we had quick decisions to make in the hospital, and that was do we go into an aggressive form of chemotherapy, and my oncologist who we continued to consult with on a very regular basis has been phenomenal at w

the fcc is nearing the third iteration of their broadband maps.se maps not only show where the services being provided but also the level of service and technology utilized in a certain location. as we reevaluate, but funding is needed to connect every american and what role should these maps play to ensure limited overlap and waste between federal agencies? >> thank you for the question. we absolutely have to have everybody using the maps to make sure that there is no overbuilding that's going on. if we have all these programs work correctly, the resources are there to close the digital divide. if we go after it with a neutral manneran and all technologies ae future proof we would not deploy a connection. if we can do that and attack all of the unserved there's enough money to serve those areas and we can all use the same map and continue to make sure it has those areas and there's no overbuilding this can be a goal accomplished in the current funding that is out there. many of your member companies participated in the affordable connectivity pro

the fcc's decision to roll back net neutrality the court found the agencies disregard of its duty tonalyze the impact to public safety renders the decision arbitrary and gracious. i agree. the record before the court demonstrated whenfi firefighters in santa clara, california for responding to wildfires they discovered the wireless connectivity on their command vehicle was being throttled as a result of title ii repeal the scc did not have any authority to intervene fix it. title ii would also bolster our authority to require internet service providers to address internet outages. this issue really hit home for me when i visited detroit last year but i heard about hope village and neighborhood of nearly 7000 people that suffered through a 45 day internetug oute during the pandemic with little recourse. remember, when scc backed away from overseeing broadband it meant the only mandatory outage reporting system we can have ine place this focus on long distance voice outages. let me submit to you and a modern economy and during the pandemic collecting only data about when the voice syst

so the head of the fcc who has a very long time, amazon credit put it this way, she says if a seller makes a sale on amazon makes $2.00 on amazon, amazon, the company gets a full dollar from that because of all of these different ways that they see that the, uh, the speeds and the way that they try and get advertising to the film and center. so it's a very big, very complicated case for it's part amazon. officials come out and said this case is wrong on the facts and football and said amazon is the reason why e commerce is growing and that it keeps prices down for the consumers. it is going to be a very big as you mentioned, the landmark case. this is really a bigger thing and divide investors and he came into office and he said, we're going to go after big tech because we think that they fall under these monopolies statues, the writ around for decades. i. so you see the f gc, the federal trade commission, which is pretty much the united states government's biggest business right there. they've gone after meadows. this parent company is facebook tried to break them up listing the jus
