Lot of things. Host when you look at it they how much time do you focus on the fcc, how much time do you focus on congress and other agencies . Good question. Depends on what is going on. Sometimes we spend a lot of time on issues of state, there is a lot going on at the fcc, congress when it is in session. Depends what the issues are. Host what are the major issues facing verizon . Guest spectrum is a big issue for us. We are very focused on strategy. As a company we committed to be the first us company to rule out 5g, a new iteration of wireless technology, we are poised to a wave of innovation of 5g. We have a commercial pilot, commercial product. In order to do that we are able to roll it out. That is something we spend a lot of time on at the fcc and chairman wheeler announced the fcc will vote on an order in july and open up us and the rest of the industry to rollout 5g very quickly. Host can you give us a status report . Guest the incentive . That i cannot i cant because there a
Fraction of a second. As the seat comes out and hits the wind blast, it begins to decelerate. If you wait just a fraction of a second before you put that main chute out, the seat has decelerated enough so when the force of the parachute comes out isnt as severe. To get to that solution, we are putting a switch on the side of the ejection seat, so when the pilot climbs up into the cockpit, can set that at heavyweight or lightweight. There are a number of ways we could have solved that problem. We could have put an automatic sensing system into the seat, much like when you sit in your car on the passengers side and the seat knows youre there and the air bag gets energized. We also could have put a switch on the seat that would have had the maintainers put it in the heavier or lightweight position. We went back to the war fighters and said, what solution do you want . We can solve this problem in a number of ways. They said we want the pilot to be responsible for moving that switch. We wa
Senator as chair of the joint board in the february open internet decision, the commission expressly extended the referral to the joint board. As you probably know under section 254 of the law, assessment for universal service is on the basis of interstate Telecommunication Services. And we are charged with making sure that that fund has specific, predictable, and sufficient support. The joint board is tasked with trying to figure out how to update that support mechanism, but the underlying terminology associated with Telecommunication Service is now the subject of litigation in the court of appeals. So the commission decided that it would defer decisionmaking on that until the Legal Environment is more stable. But pardon. Are you concerned that the title two order is not going to withstand litigation fully intact . Well, i have no crystal ball when it comes to the decisions of the dc circuit, i have confidence in our decision as it was made. We are resourceconstrained, it would not be
We need them most. Second, universal access. No matter who you are or where you live in this country, for a fair shot at 21st century prosperity, you need accesccess firstrate modern communications. That means we need policies that foster deployment and adoption in urban areas, rural areas and in between. Third, competition. Competition increases innovation and lowers prices. Fourth, Consumer Protection. Communication services are multiplying, but the marketplace is also bewildering to navigate. So we should always be on guard for ways to help consumers make good choices. These values derive from the law and they have informed my work at the commission to date. In light of them, i am especially proud of Agency Efforts to strengthen 911 service, and i am proud of our work to increase access to broadband in schools and enhance opportunities for digital age education. I also believe our spectrum policies for licensed and unlicensed air waves have made our wireless markets competitive, inn
Backdrop of significant civil rights advancement in the United States including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights act of 1965, ten years on the heels of brown versus board of education. So, what is the lesson we can draw . One is that the Immigration Law for the future in our current push for comprehensive Immigration Reform should also take that frame of a civil rights legislation which is the civil rights project of our time and will continue to be as long as we do not as long as we avoid addressing this problem of illicit mess and reality. Just a word or two to build on that. He has nicely framed this question of again. But, and i think it really is the key, but in terms of if its fair to call Immigration Law a civil rights issue, ii would argue absolutely, in light of the types of mechanisms that have been deployed by the state against foreignborn persons and there are clear parallels between the experience of africanamericans, latinos, and other disadvantaged grou
