mr. guthrie for five minutes. c thank you mr. chairman and thank you for being here.y first question to emission or pai is three parts. this all flows together but why do you oppose putting broadcasters and the cap and why cap and why it's important to minimize the number of broadcast stations placed in a 600 megahertz band after the incentive option. do you believe expressible -- preferable to the broadband rather than the downlink lacks you have suggested the commission hold a bank hearing to discuss issues related to the 600 megahertz plan. why do you think such a hearing will be helpful? >> congressman thanks for the question. if i miss one please let me know. one of the things that disparate industries the wireless industry broadcasters and license advocates agree on is placing broadcasters in the duplex gap would be a terrible idea. wireless companies don't like it because it would impair downlink spectrum which is critical in terms of meeting consumer demand and broadcasters have told us it's not optical because the duplex cap is for wireless microphones -- and
