comes to privacy issues or other issues like that, do you think that that regulation should stay at the ftc, or should it move to the cff? is there -- fcc? is there a way to slice that? >> guest: first of all, i think the whole question of what you should regulate, we should be careful not to fall into thinking that says a certain class of companies or a certain type of technology should be regulated per se. i think you all want to look and say, okay, where's the competition, where there's more competition, you need less regulation. where you see competition breaking down, that's where you need a little more regulation, and what are the consumer harms that could arise, and how do you do that. as far as your larger question, it clearly is the case that the ftc and the fcc are increasingly overlapping in terms of their jurisdiction. you see that with verizon. you asked earlier about the type of businesses that verizon is in, and you're in this odd situation where parts of our business are regulated by one agency, parts of the business are regulated by the other. >> right. >> guest: for that m
