i would also like to thank, before we get into the agenda, the fcc staff. it has been such a pleasure over the course of this week to start what would be ongoing conversations with some many people on staff. this is the country's expert agency on communications, the country's export agency on such an important part of our economy, and the future opportunity of all americans. it is a serious responsibility to be on the staff of the fcc, but i am pleased that so many talented people have made this comment -- this commitment to public service. as i said, we are the country's expert agency on communications, which means we are the world's expert agency on communications. i look forward to listening and learning from all of you in the time ahead. finally, before we start the agenda, i would like to thank my staff and welcome them to the fcc. in some cases, i am fortunate to welcome back people who were here, love at the agency and respected, who have left and now returned. in some cases, i am please to have as part of my staff -- pleased to have as part of my st

it is also for the fcc.congress has entrusted the fcc with a matter of profound importance to the country. they have given us the job of developing a national broadband plan for america. as you said, the statute is clear about what our goal must be. we must find ways to ensure that all people of united states have access to broadband. we must devise a detailed strategy to ensure that americans can afford broadband. they must be able to use broadband. we must evaluate the nation's deployment of broadband, including through federal grants. we must ensure that the broadbent infrastructure and services advance national purposes listed in the statute. this includes job creation and economic growth. the importance is amplified by today's employment numbers. education, health care, energy, public safety, civic participation, and many others, as you said, broadband is not a solution to any single problem, it is a solution to almost -- it is a part of any solution that any problem our country faces. i cannot imagine

our teams of more than 200 people put a name to the fcc. ommissioner, said so eloquently," we're no longer a bureaucratic agency in d.c." we employed extra help in the bigger cities where we were still dealing with certain issues. we have been visiting consumers to help them troubleshoot and let them know that we have not packed up and left. we have been appreciated. we have continued to rely on our dtv vendors. they performed over 100,000 successful digital converter box installations. we have had walk-in centers that have assisted tens of thousands more people. we withamericorp volunteers -- we have partnered with americorp volunteer spirit -- volunteers. i would be totally remiss if i did not think commissioner cop, mcdowell, commissioner abel state. --adelstein. i have been exhausted and they have done all the work. they have been remarkable i would like to thank you all, very much. >> thank you. commissioner copps? >> thank you all for your presentations. i can sum up my feelings in a single word -- whew! [laughter] this has been quite

the issue is whether the fcc posy of holding the funds on fox -- to the fcc's holding fox -- the court held that it upheld the order. so the government one and the business lost. this is the only case in the three areas i am discussing where the business lost. this is also one of the three cases i mentioned that really doesn't involve a whole lot more than the application of settled law, but in case there are any administrative law gurus out there, i should mention that on the way to upholding the fcc's order, the court managed to establish or confirm some principles of administrative law and most of them had to do with house searching arbor terry reviews his a deferential standard. the court made clear that it is deferential even when as in the fox case, the agency has changed its policy. even when the agency duplicates constitutional rights. and even in the fox case, the actions taken by so-called independent agencies as opposed to a purely executive branch agency, and a lot of the dispute between the majority and the dissent concerned those three obscure principles of administrative

but if we do our jobs right at the sec, we can accelerate economic growth -- at the fcc, we can accelerate growth and ensure we have a sustainable economic engine in the united states. the weekend make america a world leader in mobile. the weekend improve small businesses so they can commit -- compete every where, help to deliver better health care at lower costs, extend the benefits of broadband resolution to our hnmpolice and firefighters who depend on communications for their own safety and hours. these are mentz goals of importance. we are the beginning of the development of a plan to help the country deliver on this. i am looking forward to an energized united commission, blair, which you coordinating pursuing this effort. just because we can dream of an america built on broadband does not mean that we can make it happen. homes and businesses in many other countries have faster connections for lower prices. it will take real effort and bdedication and a long-term commitment to renew american leadership to competitiveness for the 20 per century. it just yesterday, the commerce and agri

this from the fcc. to me this is one of the most arrogant statements about the free marketplace and the free public determining for what it wants to hear me and see. been in for major bureaucrats to not understand that the free marketplace determines free-speech in america. it is absolutely incredulous in my opinion. >> how did they score that circle? there are certain and very limited limitations on free speech. you can't yell fire in a crowded theater, it can't in silence even now there is a speech loss on the books but it is very limited circumcision here on free-speech so how rna -- how are they getting away with this in modern times when we have so many of these other outlets for a liberal speech conservative speech and other forms? >> guest: is out of. i think we have to go back to the history of why they heat conservative talk radio and they do -- there's no question. the felt the conservative talk radio is too powerful and how to usher in the republican revolution in the early '90s for congress.

i'm not sure the fcc has a case. >> keep working the phone. our viewers should know we called apple and they have nope comment on the fcc launching this inquiry into rejection of the google app. you heard what mark was saying, steve.e. three good things come out of this regulation, what do you think. >> i agree with the first part. i agree sensible financial regulation is a good thing and does restore confidence. where you lost me, mark is is on the health care and energy areas, where i think the reason you see such a powerful market expansion, especially in the last three weeks michelle is precisely because the market is indicating that those initiatives are going down or at least they won't be as harmful as some thought they were going to be four months ago. >> a lot of people see the market rallying recently, good economic news but a really hard fight against this public option likely not going to happen, surcharge not as harsh as nancy pelosi wanted it. a lot of people think that's why it's rallying. >> the public option is a monitor label

the dustup that involved little people, donald trump, and the fcc. ple money on car insurance for over 70 years. and who doesn't want value for their dollar? been true since the day i made my first dollar. where is that dollar? i got it out to show you... uhh... was it rather old and wrinkly? yeah, you saw it? umm fancy a crisp? geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. megyn: 10:30 in the east, we are awaiting an announcement by vice president, joe biden, along with health and human secretary -- health and human services secretary, kathleen sebelius. we are expecting an announcement on a deal that was reached on the part of health-care reform and hospital groups. hospitals across the u.s. will cut $155 billion over the next 10 years, if they manage to find that much in savings, that money goes towards insuring people without health coverage. the bill: sounds good on the surface, saving money, cutting into that $1 trillion figure. what are the hospitals getting in return? what will the taxpayer get in the long run

the dustup that involved little people, donald trump, and the fcc. that is coming up in "kelly's court." ♪ geico's been saving people money on car insurance for over 70 years. and who doesn't want value for their dollar? been true since the day i made my first dollar. where is that dollar? i got it out to show you... uhh... was it rather old and wrinkly? yeah, you saw it? umm fancy a crisp? geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

it's not up to the fcc. which i do believe is correct because we exist in an economy of plenty, not an economy of scarcity as the broadcast networks do. i believe we've made the right call on decisions about what videos are appropriate or not appropriate for our platform, but there have been times where we've opened it up to our audience and said here's a video, due to something violent that took place in a war-torn region of the country, of the world that may or may not be appropriate, what do you think? and so we do make the call, but we also are open to comments and feedback from the audience as well. and you may not always make the right call, but we try, and we certainly try to be thoughtful about it. >> host: where do you see growth with blip.tv? >> guest: the growth is coming in two main areas. there is an explosion of content that's being created right now that's high quality content serialized, building up an audience, and the quality is getting better and better, and just the range of content is alm

the fcc oversees the carriers. then there is a strong trade association. it is not government regulation. it is self-regulation by the industry. in between the fcc and the self- regulation, it is regulated. >> how would you compare your industry to a twitter? >> twitter is great but has nothing to do with mobile. it is high volume. you get overloaded. it is a great blogging tool but is not allow for back-and- forth communication. it is a broadcast to many. with text messaging, you can be more selective. you may only want to send text messages to people in virginia that like ice cream. i see text messaging as more of a scalpel. twitter is more of allow broadcast. it is fun, but not as mobile. if you are at a sporting event, you probably do not have your laptop there. >> can you send video? >> you can send video. the handsets in the united states are behind where they are in other parts of the world. it depends on your telephone. the networks get clogged. it is one of those things that is next year. it has been next year for a couple of years. we will see wh

the market may not barrett and so i think the fcc has to be sensitive to this. again, that is a form ofsñ censorship because it pushes the ability of that station to syndicate a program and forces it into localism and the fcc is singing that isn't any kind of censorship whatsoever. i don't understand how they don't understand that or they just deny it, but it is definitely a way that moving over a syndicated conservative talk-show host such as yourself in favor of more localism. i agree east asian and needs to be local as a program director absolutely required that of the station's vice supervised. but it has to be something that is voluntary and is done by the free-market place in america. >> host: and what about the concept of being commercially viable? you mentioned earlier in the interview that there were many times local programming that was boring as can be and everybody would just turn off their radio because somebody was talking about a tenantry and nobody cared about that. so isn't it -- it strikes me as inappropriate that the federal government would co

and between, you know, the fcc looking over the carriers and then this self-regulation, between those two it's regulated. >> host: how would you compare your industry to, say, twitter? >> guest: well, so it's interesting. twitter sr. great, but twitter has nothing to do with mobile. like, if you ask anybody how many people actually get twitter messages to their phone, it's almost known because it's high volume, and you get overloaded. it's a great blogging tool, but it doesn't allow the kind of back and forth communication that text messaging allows. it's one to many. it's a broadcast to everybody on your twitter whereas with text messaging you can be more selective, let's say you only want to send messages to people who live in virginia. i live in virginia, and i like ice cream. whatever criteria you've developed. so i see text messaging as more of a scalpel whereas twitter is just a loud broadcast which is effective and fun but not mobile. and people aren't getting twitter when they're at an event, it's harder to interact. you have to have your laptop with you which if you're at a s

and particular paicipants to r regulatory i want to say we've been working closely as we have with the fcc and cfdc over the lastfew nths to develop a sele, pragmatic allocation of duties and have made substantial progress. and i want to join the chairman in compliments chairman sapiro and chairman glensler in woing so closely and productively together. asongress moves to craft legislatio aremoving along withther relevant agencies to the reform. just as an example, w provided deiled legislave language for the establisenof the consumer protection agency to the congress justast week. the fcc is moving forwa with new rules togovern and reform edit rating agencies. and the fcc announced hearings on whether to impo limits on speculion in energy derivatiin order toampen pric wings and to require new disclosure b derivative trers. those are examples of tngs we are doing as you mov forward to consider legislation. we welcome th xhimtment of these committees a congressional leadership to move forward in legislation this year. this is enormously comiced project. it important we get it right. we sha

you stand to lose jurisdiction in the fcc. it seems to me that you are getting, at least under the proposal that you are getting more money and authority to do less. i want to know what your reaction to the statement is given the fact that the fcc has dual jurisdiction that is to ensure competition and consumer protection. >> let me start by saying i hope familiarity is not breeding contempt here. >> no. >> if you read through our testimony, you will see it is a complex matrix about what we support and what we don't. i think from our perspective, if you create this new agency and you also give us more resources and authority, the perspective of consumers, they will be getting a better deal. because we will be able -- we will continue to have authority with respect to financial matters, and we're going to be able to concentrate and do more for consumers. we have talked about this -- >> if i may. you are losing jurisdiction. >> we are losing jurisdiction. >> how does that loss of jurisdiction deal with your two missions of ensuri

and the board who have a statutory ability to make inputs to the fcc on the station should be renewed or not an across-the-board they're going to cancel those licenses and gives a frequency to station owners federal into left -- front left-wing programs. and if the other alternative by the way is they don't close the station down, the new law which is passed by the fcc the dozen congressional approval gives them the right to find those radio stations and millions of dollars. you know who the find is payable to? national public radio. they get the check. so this is a massive redistribution of the air power, away from the right and toward the left. so that is the plan for political domination in this country. now, one of the things that we talk about in this book, part of me for taking so much of your time but there's a lot in here.

the fcc reiterated the u.s. customers are seeing will prices, new technologies, improve service quality from all the competition in the marketplace. using the most recent information available, fcc found that the industry average revenue per minute fell in 1994 to 6 cents in 2007 or a decline of 67%. while minutes of use have increased many fold. american consumers fare far better than wireless consumers across the globe. a recent study found that the average price per minute of the u.s. is lower than the 26 oec countries, the u.s. customers have the highest use per month and that the u.s. has the highest competition in a market. i propose that americans pay more for wireless usage only in the sense that they have more by -- to buy. finally, all of this has been accompanied by increased satisfaction. "consumer reports" has given rise in the highest rating among service providers. the rate for complaints for all customers has been about eight in every 1 million customers, a rate of only 0.0008%. at the same time,

states across the nation including maryland all want the same thing, permission from the fcc to jam cell phones inside prisons. >> you can get anything that you want in jail. cell phones, heroin, crack. >> reporter: ordering hits and continuing crime from inside maryland's prisons is as easy as a phone call away. drug dealer patrick byers was convicted of using a cell phone in prison and ordering the murder of carl lackl who was about to testify against him. >> a tragic and awful failing, i think, by all of us. >> reporter: the department of corrections said it tried to stop cell phones from being smuggled in. now the solution is to stop them from working by jamming the signal. >> prisoners know they can get those cell phones in prison, and jamming the telecommunications from prison, jamming the signals is really our best option. >> nothing more that is important to us than this right now. >> reporter: maryland secretary of public safety and correctional services will testify on capitol hill this week asking for an exemption to the law that forbids interfering with a phone signal. cell p
