mr. gillon. houston made a strong effort after hurricane ike to bury their communications cables, and that was very successful. in fact, fcc commissioner pie came down a couple days after the storm hit and was wowed about her very cables but he also noted we have a lot of cell towers exposed to the storm, especially where she came ashore there by corpus christi. how important is it to get communications up and ready following disaster? how important is that to fight the disaster? >> it's critical and i think it's critical particularly for temporary facilities to be marshalled immediately. what we learned from these most recent storms, smartphones are what americans need to reach public safety, reach their families, let people know they're safe and cell coverage is critical. the bill is very important because when the storm is over, our jobs are just getting started, how do we restore services and make them better. we have the opportunity in in your district to give you the most advanced networks.
