it means hiring one or more people to staff that and post these things in realtime. for a small broadcasters especially in smaller markets or larger markets that's very es expensive. keep in mind that there is legislation that was voted out of the house that would require the fcc to conduct appropriate cost benefit analysis when adopting new rules that are real and not cursory. that might be something to think about in this context as well. >> we'll pursue that at some other point. sometimes i wonder how the cost benefits are actually performed. but i've taken way, way more than my five minutes. . >> i think it's important as we look at it to remember a couple of thins. broadcasters complaining. i don't know in the history of this country there's ever been a business person who was gladly told to do something and said great. most people will tell you it costs money to do that and they can't do it until they're told to do it in another way. secondly, i don't know what kellogg's has to say about granola or vice versa has any bearing on who the next president of who the

first of all, realtime absolutely. independently auditable i think is important. so that somebody can come in and look at the way this is done, but it also has to be controlled. like blasting it out over the internet would be a bad idea, but i think you need to balance this realtime, but also the ability to come back and look at the process, make sure it's transparent without like i said exposing it to our adversaries. >> there's also different levels of sharing by industry. i think you have to look at how you do your risk assessment on each category that i previously described. there's a very good example out there what's working well. that's the defense industrial based pilot that's going on. that particularly is supporting defense contractors and dod. you can expand that to the financial services industry and other industries. >> anybody else want to take that? and just for clarification, when we talk about realtime, i have seen numbers as high as 100 million a second. that packets of information flying around. so if this is going to work, the malicious source

because in those notifications you've gone out in realtime to now a, a part where actually we're in the forensics mode. they're telling you something occurred and by the time it gets to you, a cert. what u.s. cert could do not prevent it only help them understand it. >> okay. >> so i think the information sharing part of what you and others have proposed would take that to a more realtime capability or at least allow that where they could say, i see x happening and the industry could tell the government that that is occurring so you could take it from the forensic side to the prevention side, which is, i believe, hugely important for the protection of the country. >> okay. and now coming back to what you just alluded to, and stated earlier that is on information sharing. this is really the key, as i understand it, from the standpoint of being able to provide blanket protection to virtually every segment of the economy and every industry that wants the protection out there that needs the protection. if they have the capability of sharing proprietary information with both the government a

military and civilian officials must often make realtime decisions that balance the need to act, the existence of alternative options, the possibility of collateral damage and other judgments, all of which depend on expertise and immediate access to information that only the executive branch may possession in realtime. the constitution's guarantee of due process is ironclad and it is essential, but as a recent court decision makes clear, it does not require judicial approval before the president may use force abroad against a senior operational leader of a foreign terrorist organization with which the united states is at war. even if that individual happens to be a u.s. citizen. now, that is not to say that the executive branch has or should ever have the ability to target any such individuals without robust oversight which is why keeping with the law and our constitutional system of checks and balances the executive branch regularly informs the appropriate members of congress about our counterterrorism activities including the legal framework and would of course follow the same prac

first of all, realtime, absolutely. independently auditable i think is important so somebody can look at the way this is done. but it also has to be controlled, like blasting it out over the internet would be a really bad idea but i think you need to balance, ride, this realtime but also the ability to come back and look at the process, make sure it's transparent without exposing it to our adversaries. that's the right way to do it. >> there's also different levels of sharing by industry. you have to look at how you do your risk assessment on each category that i previously described but there's also right now a very good example of what's working well and that's the defense industrial based pilot going on. that particularly is supporting defense contractors and d.o.d. but you can extend that to the financial services industry and other industries. >> anybody else? >> just for clarification, when we talked about realtime, i've as high as 100 million a second, right, packets of information flying around so if this is goi
