adopted in 1934 to regulate what was thought to be the monopolistic telephone system, what we called ma bell at that time. and if we put these two acts together, the interstate commerce act on one side and the communications act on another side, title ii, i am absolutely certain finish because i've studied them -- that they're, essentially, the same. and what they do, and it was their purpose to do, was to establish really strict regulatory controls on these entities to prevent the abuse of market power. and i would submit that now at time in this digital age we have a very different situation, and we don't want to apply railroad-type regulation to telephone companies. >> host: well, now, matt wood, did randy may assess your position correctly? >> guest: well, in some ways. i think the question, the way he states it is actually true in some ways. these aren't, in fact, new rules the commission is proposing. it is continuing to have the same principles we've always had in place for our communication system. and so the notion that somehow we can do without them now because there's no market fa

but this is not the marketplace we had back in the last century with ma bell. we do have wireless -- in fact, most people don't realize this, over two-thirds of the internet connections now in the u.s. are through wireless devices. and they're not even largely covered by the net neutrality rules. you may wish that they were but -- >> they should be. >> i think wireless carriers realize that. >> and most of the investment in the last several years, you know, has gone to the wireless side, which may tell you something about whether regulation matters. but here's really the point that i want to make. if we didn't have any competition, then consumers wouldn't have a choice and if a provider did something, quote, that's harmful, consumers didn't like it, we wouldn't have a place to go. but when you have competitive alternatives, they're not perfect. it's not like the wheat market. but when you have choices, then consumers can move towards another provider and that's important in this debate. >> i say it's important. i just think as i said at the outset there are som

. >>> ma bell, brad and jennifer, ashton and demi, all epic break-ups, but none holding a candle to thek up with his cable company. >> i'd like to disconnect, please. >> okay so why is it that you don't want the faster speed? help me understand why you don't want faster internet. >> help me understand why you can't just disconnect us. >> nine years, you've been a comcast customer. clearly, the service is working great. what is it that makes you want to change that? >> because that's what we want to do. >> why? >> that's none of your business. your business is to disconnect us please. >> so nischelle turner is with us. i feel like, nischelle, i've been in conversations, but i was playing comcast and i couldn't understand why i was getting dumped. >> why, john berman, why are you asking these questions? >> it's crazy. >> why am i here today, john berman? it really, it doesn't even seem like it's real. i really thought it was one of those, like, jerky boys phone calls or crank phone calls. because it was just that funny. yes, it really felt like i can't get away from you. and he -- i don't

people are getting to take -- look, windstream has been in the business for years, and it is an old ma bell spinoff. and yet suddenly the tax code says that we can do this. and boy, we have a great republicans and the president and the treasury secretary will let anything go >> and you are right, the democrats, but you are going down the income statement if you are a company and you have hit so many area, and you have not hired a lot of people, and you are now at tax rate to absorb any cost you can. >> and centurylink is up as well. >> and so when you say what is going on, well, that is it. >> and wrap it up with a bow. >> and u.p.s., you think that you did your piece on the incredible documentary on amazon and we know that e commerce is a lot of what u.p.s. is doing, but with we know that u.p.s. is facing a struggle that a lot of companies are which is that people are doing a lot of the ecommerce, but they don't want to raise amazon's business, but they can't ray raise the prices like they'd like, and it is a strong company and it is not going to change in my opinion as a strong hold. >>>

so, title 2 was the regulatory regime for ma bell, at&t, circuit switch copper 80 years ago, and thatou want to impose on the internet today. you want a light regulatory touch. that's what bill clinton and bill kennard came out with in the 1990s. it worked well through the '90s and the 2000s, and that's the approach we should take today. >> where you have an example of what john is referring, where you would reclassify the internet as a public monopoly, you've seen this happen in europe. and the main concerns people have around this issue is, number one, innovation will be affected, that price will be affected, that you'll limit the number of people and the kinds of people that have access. in fact, the last 20 years, to john's point, where we've had this light regulatory approach, we've seen all the barometers we want to go up go up -- innovation, competition, profitability. we've seen the numbers we want to go down, prices go down. so, the argument many are making around this, there just doesn't seem to be the evidence or the facts that support the notion that this should happen. i
