mr. powell?rophone there. >> we believe that the fcc could reach wireless by reclassifying as much as they're proposing to do with respect to fix broadband. >> uh you think they could get there? >> not without risk. but we do believe they -- >> all right. mr. dickerson? >> i'm not an attorney. >> that's two of us. i stayed in a -- >> i think the most important thing for us there's no difference between mobile and broadband. >> you want them both covered? >> yes. >> i agree with chairman powell's assessment. legal assessment. i also agree that consumers view these interchangeably. >> you think it's legally sustainable? ms. gonzalez? >> it's legally sustainable. >> all right. >> i'm not an attorney, i think title 2 -- >> mobile broadband has never been under title 2 because of the explicit expression of congress. it's not sustainable. >> might be an opportunity for litigation you might think? this is my point. we've got talented people, some are attorneys some are not. some are backed up by really

mr. powell? >> it's always hard to say without looking back historically, but when my commission first adopted the definition of information services, it was three to four years before there was complete resolution in a litigation case because of the ruling in the supreme court. the commission now is proposing to do fundamentally the same thing. a brand new untested, definitional change coupled, by the way w new and untested applications of forbearance and other things. we're talking a potential litigation process that would typically run three to five years, depending on its complexity, depending on the parties and depending on the court system. >> decisions come out three to five years, or that's the whole window? >> the problem s if any part of the order is overturned by a court, there are remands to the commission, that could be a whole new commission. this commission will only be in power for the next two years. it could be remanded to the next administration commission. this thing could sta

mr. powell. one other questions i have is most internet talk centers around -- happens around -- most of the open internet talk centers around over the last mile between the internet service provider and the end consumer. but aren't there very real competitive concerns and potential consumer impacts that arise in the exchanges of data between the i.s.p.'s and networks, too? how can we ensure under this legislation that the interconnection continues to happen for smaller competitive carriers in the telecommunication marketplace? >> that might be a better question for jim powell. we have been very focused on the mobile industry and technical parameters that are around the mobile industry and the competitive 235c9ors -- factors on the mobile industry. you mentioned competition and only one provider. in the mobile industry eight out of 10 americans have a choice of four or more providers. 94% have three or more. it's a very different issue. you may want to redirect your question. >> i think my time's

mr. powell? >> when my commission adopted as there they were three to four years before there was a revolution because of the supreme court. it is fundamentally the same thing, a brand-new untested definitional change coupled with other applications as we are talking about this litigation process depending on the complexity. >> is that sort of the whole window? >> welcome of the problem is that that could take a whole new commission will only be in power for the next two years and it could start all over again. >> how long? >> well, we don't see this as mutually exclusive. and obviously mr. powell has a lot of experience and i think that congress -- i'm very encouraged. .. comes with an fcc order as well as with the proposed legislation and no matter what there will be legal action to clarify definition issue is in the legislation draft and so while all of us. we would like to see s. little litigation as possible. >> is that in the window of this uncertainty? >> the draft legislation opens up the
