Denied this week the tech issues discussed campaign 2016 and the potential agenda for president clinton or President Trump. With the a. E. I. With president and ceo what would you describe as Hillary Clinton greg. Based on what the campaign has put out so far i am not here as a representative of Hillary Clinton after praising the agenda i will say the key elements are commitment to expand abroad and access with a lot of talk of competition to bring benefits to all americans and then running around inclusive innovation that the entire country actually shares in the of benefits of the internet economy so what do redo to make sure not to many are left behind . Donald trump and . I have not seen a lot of it there is very little written down but i was surprised to see mr. Trump come out strongly against the of merger on a number one with very Strong Language but i find it very interesting of them moving in that direction to criticize that concentration otherwise read between the lines. Not the lot of details. Same question. With the disclaimer and with those criticisms and as they are concerned with the goals and objectives as they make available to all. And then to see more rapid innovation because the way to those objectives in is less regulation so if you are a believer and government as Many Democrats are then you have a bullet point agenda as secretary clinton does the unquestioned courage and is much longer and more extensive than the candidate trump agenda i think trump would argue more Less Government was taxation across the board policy. Also bringing up the fact he spoke out already the proposed at t time warner merger. The we have seen those big mergers and which was approved and then to take over time warner and then the review it isnt obvious to me there would have approved the comcast merger they didnt say we got that wrong but they certainly said we will not double down but they did allow at t to purchase t mobil but they did with it directv. So at this point all of the mergers will be looked at very carefully. The notion that all are completely laissezfaire almost would say theyre more likely to approve the average years. And then to say this way. So with those issues of technology from the morning call love. I have interest did i know this is an area of the past secretary clinton says she was to bring one had to percent of households online by 2020 the g. O. P. Party platform talks about publicprivate partnerships to bring rule of terror, of mine. Rural americana of mind but is this going to bring consensus with the knicks did ministrations . That is a good question there should be i do think there is a baseline notion that internet is a necessity. And there is growing agreement although the internet may not be up there with electricity but it is hot water so i would like to see that agreement from both parties but the challenges to was willing to risk as i see it the changing nature of the Digital Divide but the biggest barrier seems to be price prices too high that requires competition that is one proven way so there are other ways but that is what is keeping most knopf dont want it or they dont need it but they simply cannot afford it. Were all in favor remade have different views so first and with that penetration but that is still measuring that in the question is to the other 20 one or need the wired Internet Connection compared to the smart phone . So one question is how do you define Internet Penetration . And for the most part the democrats of taken in the position to have more competitors. To take the people who invested in infrastructure you need to resell your interest charge trees spent millions of dollars to those who will compete against you. Because we have created these to resell the product data lowerpriced. My wife is in school at oxford and i mention that because the United Kingdom has been the poster child for pursuing that policy. That was very dismal. With that set of policies but the effect is discouraging. With the fiveyear plan but some like that is most like those that have not done successful. And don that consumer and , clearly there is a market that is being served with those products to be able to offer of what is created with more penetration and availability. I have yet to see a better answer we certainly seem to need more if really is a monopoly. If you think about competition inodorous one dominant Search Engine and one dominate shopping site which is amazon and then we have facebook narrator a Google Commission and then to enforce them to sell their services but for the most part they are competing with limited facilities. So if you see comcast and charter and sprint that is in a market like this. And also to create a new business plan. And not so private popular publicinterest and that type of innovation was lows of competition is in a very healthy way. The with that tech agenda as they have discussed wanted to reach our rewrite the Communications Act and is already ruled sunlight under the republican white house, is there a possibility to resurface of the Communications Act greg. There is a consensus first of all, with that balloted policy initiative to make clear with those regulations in general you have a predilection certainly looking at the of republican platform the notion of a less intrusive focused and writing new ones and coming out from the sec the last couple months. Was focused on reaching new rules but to write those existing ones. Dinkinss interesting for those policy details because that is the one change that you have to decide to make all of these decisions and they will be with uh power of the gatekeepers. It doesnt necessarily mean that the same rules apply to wireline that Telecommunications Carrier but they are very concerned with the google or amazon those of the important questions for the next semester asian. But one of the big differences no matter those differences second make that choice to go from facebook to get my information elsewhere. That is harder with the Internet Service provider. So maybe i have two choices some only have one choice it is that important in their life does require a different set of answers. I hope the clinton demonstration realizes what they have done is a model to step up and of actually challenged the lobbies and town. They did not play the politics perfectly every time but there is a lot to be proud of and the next minute administration is looking to build on that not care that down. Who will ladylike to seek so gatekeepers and washington . It is so hard to get into the name game. Asking us who should get the nomination. I find did a little bit hard because i dont know who will get to the really big jobs with a new minister asian people, men everybody thinks they should be commerce secretary but when they start to look below better when these names are very well qualified for the job but to be determined on november night when negative ninth. Then lets move on. What about cybersecurity . And then talk about the need to be more aggressive if you look at the platform and i think he does understand to bring out the importance of cybersecurity which is all the daily news. With the importance of cybersecurity. Otherwise the candidates remain not pay attention. That is pretty clear against foreign attackers. But to mirror the report calling for them or for word and meaning approach and where appropriate to to retaliate with those consequences of those that are engaged and then to contemplate that notion if we can see the attack coming. But we have not yet experienced a serious genetic cyberattacking in the United States may be adm in new york that was tinkered with the it the potential for serious attack is there if you think would happen on friday last week was enabled and to think about that happening for with that different kind of attack you can see loss of life. So we do have the capacity. We deere very capable to sit on the sidelines before they could engage in any way. The have to go three a bureaucratic process and nsa was off the plane for more than a week when that was going on to negotiate that memory was Homeland Security and then to cut through the red tape to defend america. I will say i do not purport to be a Cyber Security expert so i will leave that but without question anybody in the white house next this will be high on the aisle list. Anybody who sits in that chair this is one of the day problems that the attacks and not going away. Of those overarching concerns food is the nsa spending their time watching . Those of the questions n there is a lot of work to do their with up patriot act. But then a whole set of things to strike that balance of but we do need on the networks. And not just those millions of people who are completely innocent. And with that bipartisanship but when we release the report us ever security and then to use it on capitol hill but with the federal cybersecurity and with the great party lines everybody understands the threat and the urgency many people understand that. On with the couple of pages of encryption to forge a specific encryption with the need for Law Enforcement and with both republicans with their republican m Party Platform mentioning encryption but not strong one where the other position and if you think that is there. This is an area i would be critical of the clinton agenda i think with that classic washington fashion lets have a commission. I went like it more strongly to support encryption. It may not be easy for the government or anyone else to break into those devices. So a leg to see a stronger position idol think that is reflected in the agenda. But it does reflect the views of the candidate dispense so much time but that is the administration will need a lot of attention. As the Obama Administration did with apple after san bernadine no. We have a commissioner under way and to create a Bipartisan Commission to try to address the early problem. I think is a look at the weight the republicans as democrats instinctively if one says if you are apple then have the capacity to assist with lawenforcement investigation involving a terrorist as a way to do that as a patriotic act then you realize that involves opening a pandoras box. And then but that republican opinion and then as much to have that secret key the unlikely somebody else will find that. What is very important to the Tech Industry is trade. With strong support from the Tech Industry with two pp. I am curious what does this mean for the Tech Industry moving forward with the reaction quick. Your right and and and secretary clinton a big change in response to the pressure from the sanders campaign. In terms of given the opportunity items see how she goes theater direction. Andante edges of my area of expertise but it speaks to the ire real anxiety people are feeling about trade. They can see down know what it is put that they dont feel very democratic i think that will be one of the big challenges. And sue speak to those anxieties that is very real in everyones life and to have the benefits of Silicon Valley to reach the most americans. And not just a ph. D. From stanford. I a agree with almost everything with nafta or the current trade policies are what we used to call the rest felt has been very damaging. And both candidates were responding. One perspective with the candidates and the outcomes it is important to put the minute context of their party with secretary clinton and that was very reluctant to embrace travel regulations into of more freemarket approach in her heart of hearts. But i do think that is consistent with the position over the years. And then under pressure from her party to go the other direction and the same with tpp. With a Trump Administration contextualized trump within the context of the republican party. They are split with balanced party with the more freetrade party. But i think that is more from the republican the theater point but it is the challenge on trade. But as much as they could ever run into. That we continue to turn the other cheek and that is not viable. I would just say that but then to be ambivalent on the issue but to come out strongly of neutrality to say on some issues and not knowing everything and in response to the public views so the actual politicians from the top on down hearing from of constituents they changed their position secretary clinton changes her position. If there were a President Trump would Net Neutrality be reversed or the multistate colder be reversed . Candidate trump has said clearly through his preferred policy and then as opposed to that Net Neutrality regulation. And to intervene to instruct a particular regulation that one year ago march was the right way to go about it. So to take his broader views on regulation expected m2 appoint the fcc. One minute left. En terms of looking forward to the next administration what is the next policy goal . The biggest challenge is affordable broadband and with that to be doing their right thing. But that cn to those who are elected president will be forced to confront directly to the challenge to american and supremacy on line. N day if they are innovating very rapidly. And to put in place for them to keep innovating in the global market. From api m president and ceo from free press. Some
