going to have a third channel so up to 30 mega hertz as a contingency. like cars commuting with stop lights and things like that. even though that is not always time-critical, it could be on this third channel. so europe is going with up to 30-megahertz. and one of the proposals it looked like they were going to be mandated. they had a proposal to segment the band saying let's give safety its on exclusive 30-mega hertz at the top so wi-fi can share the rest. so the commercial applications can share between dsrc and wi-fi. the emergence of cellular v2x throws in this wild card. can we do it the same way and should we still do it the same way? on the one hand. since it is starting from scratch, it's easy to use the top of the band for safety and on the other hand it is less clear how well they can coexist with wi-fi or if it makes sense because each mobile carrier will have their own 5g networks and separate spectrum. >> how much control would nhtsa have over the mega hertz and how it is divided up? >> maybe i can jump in on that. it's important to remembe

european union decided years ago, they had a proceeding, they said we think that safety requires 20 mega hertz, but we're going to have a third channel, so up to 30 megahertz as contingency, might be useful to have cars communicating with stop lights and things like that, even though that's not always time critical, it could be on the third channel. so europe is still going with 30, up to 30 megahertz, which is why one of the proposals when it looked like it would be mandated, one of the leading proposals, cisco had a proposal and qualcomm had a proposal to say let's give safety its own exclusive 30 megahertz at the top of the band so that wi-fi can share the rest, so commercial applications can share between the src and wi-fi. the emergence of cellular throws in a wildcard, new aspect of can we still do it the same way, should we still do it the same way. on one hand, since cv to x is starting from scratch, would be easy to use top of the band for safety, but on the other hand less clear how well they can co-exist with wi-fi or whether that makes sense because each of the mobile carriers have

thank you for the question and thank you for sponsoring the viewer protection act also. 60 mega hertz was the second largest auction that actually ever occurred in the united states and is critical for our members to get 600 mega hertz deployed in their networks. it's a great pop pullgation characteristics in rural america, that's why 600 mega hertz lte is going to be a great opportunity to get high-speed mobile broadband. we need to repack. we think the 39-month time frame that congress set is the right time frame. we are very supportive of the broadcasters efforts to not only repack but do it in a timely fashion and a safe fashion. so i think additional funds, my understanding is they've identified the cost of additional funding need and i think it's reasonable to respond to that. u.s. treasury made 13, $14 billion net on that. all most $7 billion that went in the first responder program out of that auction. i think it's fair and reasonable to get that spectrum out there as soon as possible and build those networks. >> i won't ask a question, i'll make a comment. there's been a them
