the f.c.c. affirmatively now, under the fact that the communications law will cover them as communications -- as common carriers, they have to make rules. the f.t.c. never had rules. they didn't have any rulemaking authority. it's all been about -- peter: before we go any further here, let's bring howard buskirk into the situation. he's the executive senior editor of communications daily. howard: i wanted to ask you, first of all, what are the concerns of the i.s.p.'s in terms of where the f.c.c. may be headed in this area? what would be your biggest concerns? jim: i'm not here representing any particular i.s.p. i have done a lot of work with clients in many different areas, including i.s.p. clients. but i think the concern is that if one were to apply the current telecommunications privacy rules, which were developed in the context of the telecom reform act of 1996, which was a world of -- the rules really do not work very well in a world of the internet where you have apps and you have internet

i support the f.c.c.'s enhanced transparency rules, and i think it's important to make sure that consumers have the information they need to make informed decisions and to make sure they are protected. but it is also important that we find a balance, providing consumers with technical information about their internet and making sure that consumers have access in the first place. i heard from small businesses in my district these rules will pose a significant burden. the rules as proposed by the f.c.c., and consume critical resources. limiting their potentially -- potentially limiting their ability to invest in broadband development. for example, they have told me they would have to buy special equipment to measure things like packet loss on their internets -- networks. these are companies that may have only one technician on staff so you can imagine the burdens. and to address these burdens this bill would continue the exception of small business from the enhanced trp rules for five years. it also instruct

yet the f.c.c. in that entire time has gone unauthorized, making it the oldest expired authorization in the commerce committee's broad jurisdiction. mr. president, i hope that we can change that. on monday, i introduced the f.c.c. reauthorization act of 2016, which includes a handful of noncontroversial good government reforms to go with a two-year reauthorization window. by restarting the f.c.c.'s regular authorization cycle, the bill will ensure that necessary congressional oversight of the f.c.c.'s budget procedures occur routinely. as indicated by the f.c.c. commissioners themselves at our oversight hearing last week, the consistent legislative reauthorization cross will produce a more responsible and a more productive relationship between congress and the commission. this will result in better outcomes for both consumers and the rapidly growing broadband based economy. mr. president, telecom policy was once considered to be one of the least partisan issues in congress. while the campaign for net

on thursday the f.c.c. meant to give consumers control over their personal information. as the i.s.p.'s collect information on them when they use the internet. for example, which websites you visit and how long you've been on them. they could also have a big impact on revenue. but not to some of the other biggest players in the internet. also before the f.c.c., perhaps the most complex spectrum auction in u.s. history. a two-way auction that could net the government up to $40 billion. brad barker in new york. love me some f.c.c. stories. and this privacy one seems like it's a big deal. guest: it's a completely big deal. thanks for having me. the f.c.c. have been awful busy essentially this privacy rule tomorrow, when they vote on it, will allow consumers like you and i to opt out of being tracked by the cable and mobile broadband companies and them having share that information with advertisers. cory: talk to me about this. basically, with the latest in technology, the i.s.p.'s can see a lot more about what

apple says forcing it to open the phone would violate the constitution. f.c.c. chairman thom wheeler unvealed rules designed to protect internet privacy, it would require brode ban providers to disclose data collection and report security breaches, it would not ban the collection of data. if enacted privacy rules would not apply to twitter, google and facebook. i'm antonio mora. thank you for joining us, ray suarez is next with "inside story". have a great night.

so there's now a rule making coming up where the f.c.c. ecide what to put in place in lieu of or perhaps replicating the rules under the new f.c.c. authority. >> most of the rules that exist existed in the world of telephones. now that they've extended by reclassification, the situation to cover i.s.p.'s, they have to come up with rules that are appropriate to the world of the internet, not just the telephones. >> watch "the communicators" tonight at 8:00 eastern on c-span2. >> this week, susan glasser and "new york times" chief white house correspondent peter baker. the guests, who are married, talk about their careers and plans to move to israel. >> susan glasser, editor of politico, why did you get into this business? susan: what an exciting way to were a living while learning something new every single day. i always wanted to be a journalist. >> where did you start? where did it all -- where was your first journalistic experience? susan: you know, i remember being 10 years old and handing out copies of newspapers amy parents founded, "t

and i'd also like to acknowledge the efforts of f.c.c. commissioner who has devoted time and resources to bring attention to this very important issue. the commissioner traveled to nebraska last june and he participated in a workshop on direct dial 911 issues while at the university of nebraska in lincoln. he's continued to encourage the industry to work with him in an effort to find solutions to this important issue. the nebraska public service commission, which led the workshop, has also been at the forefront of the discussion. and finally, we would not be here discussing this bill without the tireless work of carey's father hank. hank has worked day in and day out to advocate for this legislation at both the state and the national level. hank has made it his mission to ensure that no other family will have to suffer through a similar tragedy. to paraphrase hank, it was the look o on my granddaughter's fae when we failed her. a nine-year-old did what she was instructed to do by her parents, teachers and adults. she was in a true dire eme

. >> tonight on "the communicators," a look at the f.c.c.'s lifeline subsidy program and the plan to include broadband internet access to bridge the digital divide between higher and lower income americans. the f.c.c. is expected to take up the proposal at the end of march. we'll talk with the policy director at the benton foundation and a visiting scholar at a.e.i. center for communications and technology policy. the joined by brendan, national journal communication reporter. >> low income consumers need access to broadband now. it is unclear to me congress would be able to pass a support that is directly aimed at low income users. this congress has not been particularly supportive of folks who are in poverty. the conversations that have been on the hill have been hard to decipher. >> there's a sense in which the f.c.c. is putting the cart before the horse. they haven't done a study to suggest these are the drivers keeping low income people from adopting broadband service and this is the amount we need. we don't know if need $9 a month for 1

the bill would make the temporary exemption that the f.c.c. granted to i.s.p.'s with 100,000 or fewer subscribers and extend and expand the cap to i.s.p.'s with 250,000 or fewer subscribers, addresses bipartisan concerns about speeds and cost and gives regulatory certainty to internet service providers, keeps the exemption level at a level that protects consumers, keeps the internet free and open, conet allow large internet service providers that favors some content over others. and congress should take notice of the administration statement which cautions about bills that move towards threatening the open internet. on this exemption, specifically, i don't think we have enough information to know whether it needs to be made permanent. i support this bill. again, i think there's a lot of democrats and republicans that have worked hard on this bill. we probably could have dispensed with it on monday. but, hey, here we are. we're dealing with it under this rule. i thought if we're going through the rulemaking process we should at least offer an open rule. i mean, e

it is clear that the f.c.c. -- it's absolutely clear that the f.c.c. has outlived its use lness. we need a new asian one with the power and will to crack dpow --k down on campaign finance violations. mr. president, the supreme court has put billionaires an other special interests on a galloping horse. they are running away with our democracy, our elections. we have created a dark money, special interest, gerrymandered train wreck and the losers are the american people. that's why i've also introduced the fairness in independence and redistricting act, because part of that train wreck is the secretive and highly partisan congressional redistricting process. and we need to end it. the president highlighted this issue in his state of the union address saying, we've got to end the practice of drawing our congressional districts so that politicians can pick their voters and not the other way around. in most states today, congressional maps are drawn behind closed doors by partisan lawmakers. their aim is to keep incumbents in office, and they do that. pick almost any district in the c
