agreements, called interconnects, are routine between cable, satellite and tell could hes for the joint -- telcos for the joint sell of advertising. they sell local advertising for their direct competitors yet they'll continue unregulated. in conclusion, we strongly support the bill's language that prevents the f.c.c. from enforcing rules without first collecting empurecal data studying the impact of j.s.a.'s. in reality, these serve the public interest. i hope this committee will take an honest, fact-based look at the importance of these agreements to localism. we appreciate the hard work of this committee and i look forward to your questions. thank you. >> ms. burdick, thank you for your presentation. we'll now go to mr. michael powell, president and c.e.o. of the national cable and telecommunications association. mr. powell, it's good to have you back before the committee. we look forward to your testimony. >> thank you, chairman walden and thank you, ranking member eshoo and other members of the subcommittee. it's always a distinct pleasure to have the opportunity to come and testify before y

research, development and development networks, wireless providers, cable providers as well as incumbent telcos to submit proposals and express interest. for as well-intentioned as we may be at the federal level too often we craft policies from a singular matrix and attempt to fit an urban peg in a rural hole. all too often, when we do so in this manner, we fall incredibly short because the challenges and the solutions for these communities are not congruent. so i hope you join in my excitement about these experiments because these trials could unleash opportunities for solutions from rural areas for rural areas. to date, nearly 1000 proposals from mostly local, community-based entities have been filed at the fcc showing a significant demand for robust broadband. they include innovative ideas and proposals from electric co-ops leveraging their existing networks to provide fiber to to the home, to community based initiatives wishing to construct broadband sometimes in partnership with other entities. to cable providers, research around development networks, wisp, wireless providers and we even g

and there are blurring lines between cable and telco. we're also seeing the same thing this wi-fi. we're seeing the same thing and shouldn't discount satellite and broadcast. they play primarily in the video marketplace today, but we don't know where they're going to go in the future. consumers are readily jumping wean -- between wireless and wireline delivery meds today -- methods today. >> okay. and i think following on with that, commissioner o'rielly, implicit in what you've just said or maybe explicit is the way that services are converging in what we call the digital world, and, you know, the notion that the competition is often among platforms that are offering, you know, packages of services and whatever. so, and that brings me to the ip transition proceeding. for our c-span audience, that ip stands for internet protocol transition, and that's another way of saying the services have moved, in my view, quite rapidly. although it's been occurring for a long time, from the analog world to the digital world in which, as the old saying goes, a pit is a bit -- a bit is a bit is a

sec this is not about compromise or create a consumer welfare program for people of color, or rural telcosall businesses to sort of stifle the development of revenue that we're all seeking in this country. this is about having a conversation to promote meaningful dvd participation and ensuring when the next auction comes a. h. block, there were no that participate in h. block. with a single bidder. very happy to see that fund first met th by the same token e didn't see a qualified minority, and until minority entity that actually compete in that auction. so as a look at the aws, as a look at the incentive auction this is important that we figure out ways to bring people into the process so when we talk about competition we are talking about in a 4 cents a not just as one area. that's my plug but i know these guys -- i had to put that in there. >> that's why you're here. we are glad you are. >> spectrum caps and screens i think chairman upton and walton have both spoken on this at length in our hearings and other venues. and so it should come as no surprise that we are opposed to the idea o

so we're all talking to either telcos or we're talking directly to enterprise customers to know thatware stat, they can run any hardware underneath with any application on top. >> yesterday, when you first came out with the stock, the knee jerk reaction was positive because your earnings for the quarter was better than expected. but it came back down and traded lower on concerns about the outlook for the year. what's happening? >> well, we had a blowout fourth quarter. our performance was up 24%, well above where analyst expected it. that's where we saw the initial top. we guided for next year that we were going to take our markings down 100 basis points. our cloud technologies in general are ticking off. so we needed to double down our investment in those areas. we had the beauty of the subscription model. the down side to that model is we collect the cash up front, but we recognize revenue over the long run. so i think analysts, we're not real happy that we took our markets down to go forward. at the same time, we picked our cash flow guidance up substantially. so cash flow guidanc

. >> you need to see the telcos pick up a little bit.'ll not get that with exxon and you need to see the financials triumph over the yield curve that has not been forgiving for them. >> the s&p is positive on the quarter, five straight quarters up and that's not been done since before the crisis. >> this is amazing because it's still being done in a virtual vacuum. we saw schwab up and e*trade up yesterday, those are signs that people feel that these are going to flag individuals to come back maybe a little margin debt, too, but it hasn't happened yet. maybe it will finally happen this year. >> yeah. a bunch of individual names to watch today, too, chipotle warning that the price of guacamole and some salsas could force it to eliminate them from its menu because of global warning and listing drought and weather change and a long list of business risks faced by the company if the cost of ingredients jumps because of weather they may choose to temporarily suspend serving item items like guacamole in the quarter which was january 30th. comp
