>> well for, again, separated between telecom and i.t., i agree completely, i think the danger is the rent seeking capabilities that that regulations just generally bring and the way in which companies can interfere and influence through congress, through the administration, through the courts, and antitrust is clearly one of the great ways you can do that. antitrust can pairly keep up with what's -- barely keep up with what's going on in changes. it's difficult. i really do think in the next administration congress is going to be the one driving some of these things because it comes down to the kind of regulatory issues that are there. conversely, on the science and innovation side i think the big difference is that there's a real commitment to public/private partnerships by the obama administration looking for ways that you can have collaborative progress to be able to outcompete or increasingly fierce competitors abroad. and those kind of initiatives that first start as experiments and are now pretty well full blown through a number of different initiatives are focusing on the bott

i remember when i was in high school i had i.t. with industry to go when, no transparency about what the future was going to look like. i would argue that's probably most kids in high school are doing today, plainly picking professions rather than having some type of data to decide. >> interesting. a lot of the analysis authority been done. as you start to look at the pipeline of k-12 and invest the education and really look at what the future needs. i've heard ready to graduate in terms of skills in the industry is, what does it take to make our industry track is individually? i think of it could just get our arms around a lot of the background is dirty done. it's kind of a call to action. >> yes, sir. >> great panel. my name is glenn oliver and our company operates the global dance for the utility industry. so i interact with a lot of city leaders and government leaders. you know, in relation to a topic you're, technology and cities, one of the things it is the challenges you've got a huge amount of innovation that is out there,
