. >> host: about a month ago on this program we had michael powell, former chairman of the fcc and head of the telecommunication association and here is what he had to say about cable boxes. >> consumers don't want more boxes. if there is anything like hulu and amazon prime is that streaming is an invention that has overtaken what a lot of people have relied on the box to do. take dvr. it is an important service but as streaming is more dominant the need to record and skip through the commercials much of that is less important because i can stream it. i stream it once, i can stream it ten times. i can rewind it. i can move it forward. and a lot of content is being provided free in binge collective sweets of consumption. that is the path the market thaeb has been moving and that is the direction the consumers are responding to. the advocates want to build another box and create a service around boxes and make the cable guys, develop, build, manufacture and deploy another box we think is retrograde and returning to the way competition was conceived in the '90s and not the way competition

but i have, i have high regard for both, and i have a particular affection for michael powell. he's a -- i was on the senate commerce committee when he was the chairman. i thought he was superior, superb. i love his dad, privileged to work with colin powell. he's just a remarkable guy just like his father and mother. >> host: has nab taken a position yet on net neutrality? >> guest: we haven't. some of my members are for it, some are against it. i'm with my friends. [laughter] it's one of those issues that i know i've debated back and forth. i can make you a good case for it, i can make you a good case against it. >> host: but nab does not have a dog in that race at all. >> guest: no. and i don't understand why the others do. >> host: monty tayloe. >> this is a radical topic shift, but there's been concern about the fcc closing enforcement field offices and keeping up with pirate radio. is the fcc doing enough about pirate radio right now? >> guest: well, they have a proceeding on it, and we salute that. i mean, we, you know, it just undercuts legitimate, licensed, legal radio a

mckinnon: michael powell was saying basically the world is moving past these devices, yet the proposed rulemaking is focused on devices. he says it is ignoring the new world of apps. do think that is fair? mrs. clyburn: i think what the chair has proposed is let's have a conversation about a more neutral standard. the questions that will be queued up and what is being proposed is to look and establish a standard-setting that will include those from the industry and other advocates that will look at how do we truly make this open and neutral -- a platform so consumers can have more options? the old proceedings were very particular in terms of choosing another.orm over choosing a technology. this proposes to allow the in and sets a way its own standards. ideally people will have more options at the end of the day. peter: when it comes to broadband deployment a new report by the fcc says it isn't being done quickly enough. of americans still don't have access is what the report is saying, to broadband. tot tools does the fcc have increase that? mrs. clyburn: what we are doing is really tr
