Host commissioner rosenworcel, welcome to the communicators. If you would, start by talking about some of the issues that you fore be see the fcc dealing with this coming fall. Guest okay. Well, first of all, thank you for having me here on this show, and thank you also to cspan for the great Public Service work that you do and have done for decades. Issues before the fcc, we have a lot of them. Issues are diverse because in many ways the fcc oversees the digital economy, the information economy which by some measures accounts for as much as onesixth of the economy itself. I think there are a few things we have going on of particular interest though. One of those is wireless communications. And you can look around at the proliferation of phones, and thats probably no surprise be that its an area of real interest. But with you also have to consider some of the numbers. We now have more Wireless Phones in this country than we have people. One in three American Adults now has a tablet com
My topic today is serious which presents one of most issuesl Foreign Policy we face. It lies to a heart critical to u. S. Security, a friend that is a place that is home to friends and partners. It is important because the Syrian Regime possesses chemical weapons that we cannot allow to fall into terrorist hands. It is important because the regime is collaborating with lockstep with in hezbollah. Syria is important because its people in seeking freedom and dignity has suffered unimaginable horrors. I also recognize how ambivalent americans are about the situation there. On the one hand, we americans share a desire, after two wars which have taken 6700 american lives and cost over 1 trillion, to invest taxpayer dollars in american schools and infrastructure. On the other hand, americans have heard the president s commitment that this will not iraq, this will not be afghanistan any use of force will be limited and tailored narrowly to the chemical weapons threat. On the one hand, we shar

He managed to through the needle pretty well politically, you know, before the election he was able to delay it. And yet to say is going to fast for the southern portion, that was a pretty depth political move but i think the stakes are pretty high. Its also about labor. A lot of labor really, really worked hard for the president s reelection. A lot of them in very, very tough swing states. Socalled swing states. A lot of them are also working on proposals to take veterans that are coming back from afghanistan and having how much to hardhats, very, very important program. Theres going to be a lot more people coming back from these conflicts in the United States. And so i think theres a lot, you look at all the security people in the United States, theyre also saying this is good for u. S. Security, to not be so dependent on the turmoil, we see it everyday in the middle east. So i think there is security for the u. S. In terms of energy security. Theres employment for workers.

In 1963 the march called for equal access to jo
