general wheeler talked about how that can be done.technology but if the people doing the mission don't have control over the money, what are the ways in the property rights type scheme where you give agencies more howdom and more autonomy they control the spectrum. can they buy it and divided up? i'm kind of reminded as i worked on the spectrum, even the fcc did not grant secondary market authority to all uses of the spectrum. it limits the exclusive use of the spectrum. it does not make sense. there is not one single agency does not have exclusive rights. it is all shared among the between federal and nonfederal organizations. i would encourage those interested in the area to on thoseiews incentives and ideas. thanks. peter reminds me one of the last times we did this, it was a /aw is tor doing rf have patience. when he think about where we were 10 years ago, we are in a lot better place but i want to challenge the panel with a question. not sure it would be fair to start with, but thinking about where we want to be in 10 years. what

. >> reporter: fcc chair tom wheeler is taking a new stab at rules to protect net neutrality. the idea that internet service providers like verizon, at&t, time warner cable or comcast should not selectively block or slow web traffic. the commission does not plan to appeal a court's decision on fcc's lawsuit against verizon, which effectively threw out many net neutrality rules. the fcc saying that for now it will not look to reclassify broadband as a public utility. what some analysts call the nuclear option. these would give the fcc more power. now the commission is justifying that neutrality protection with a different part of the law. >> they believe they still have sufficient authority to be able to protect against any of the potential abuses that people have been worried about over the basis of net neutrality in the first place. >> reporter: the commission is soliciting public comment on its new guidelines, focusing on transparency and making sure consumers can access all lawful content. chairman wheeler does not seem to be trying to regulate more strictly than the prior

that is tom wheeler statement on the net neutrality decision. this is how i interpreted reading that statement. they want to bring send a net neutrality rules -- strengthen the net neutrality rules. and they potentially want to make broadband a common carrier. is that a new interpretation? >> that is how they are describing it. it is a disappointing move from the administration. i do not think it will strengthen the neutrality. i think it ignores what the court did. they are trying to salvage a victory out of a defeat. they are trying to piece together the shred that the court left and went. your concern is net neutrality. if you want to stop walking on the internet and discrimination interfering with web services, your only option is reclassification. they made that very clear in their agent. the court rejected it out of hand. they said, it is up to you. we are saying that you cannot do it this way. here comes the fcc again. maybe this will work on a case-by-case basis. we are not sure. i do not think that is good enough. they are asking for de

because as you and general wheeler noted, there really is no exclusive dod spectrum, or very little so it's shared with other agencies that may have significant infrastructure investment or operations. thank you. >> yes. oh, okay. on behalf of the federal agencies at large is also reexamining its strategy along these lines. so, obviously it plays and aligns with what is going to be announced later this week. so, i won't go into any kind of the details on that, not get out in front of that, but, again, like i mentioned before, it really should center around technology and innovation and -- but also collaboration, and so it's about -- it's continuing what we have kind of been doing in the sense of the -- bringing the agencies to the table and being on the same page, seeing how they can work together, like in the example with regard to the -- one of the bands, 1755, law enforcement surveillance activities, happens across several federal and state agencies. so, is there a way that they can collaborate on developing the next generation of law enforcement surveillance applications? and techn

i will turn to general wheeler for the specific examples. the other piece that you talked about in terms of whether this is the challenge of what is our percentage of how much less we we areng to use, again, not actually looking at it in that way. from our perspective, we have a set of missions that we have today. we have a set of missions that we will continue to have both from a national defense standpoint but also remember that these spectrums are very important with things like our support of natural disaster .elief certainly we can give you some examples of how this was important in support of our seen him he relief. we have a mission, how do we make the best use of spectrum in order to be able to accomplish that mission. it might be a percentage change. i would come back and foot stomp. it is also our collaborative effort with industry. it is not necessarily a percentage change but how are we able to accomplish our missions as well as giving the commercial industry folks an opportunity to really leverage what we are >> i willove ahead

we reached out with a letter to chairman wheeler on this issue. you know, this is $1 million they are paying for this study and telling us, if there are changes that have to be made, it's going to increase costs. it's going to cost the taxpayers more money. not only are we infringing on americans rights as a country and the ability for free speech, but we are actually making the taxpayers pay for it as well. >> in a letter from the fcc to the chairman upton, one of the justifications or the justification for spending this money to put the spies into news rooms is the communications act, section 257 directs them to identify and eliminate market barriers for entrepreneurs and other small businesses in the provision and ownership of tell mun indications services. what ia barrier and why is the fact we now have the internet and anybody can put a video on, it doesn't cost a dime. you have to have access to a computer terminal. >> this is a multimedia study. they are saying it's critical information needs. there again, so subjective. what will the commi
