You by the folks back home want to know why what is the problem with the ftc that brought the last east that forced this change and then to respond to the questions as you know the ftc act atlarge says that it doesnt have jurisdiction over the telecommunication carriers. They say we are telecommunications and that triggered that. What constituents should come as we work closely with the ftc. The jurisdiction as far as its providers and what we do which will be forthcoming in the next few months on our privacy proposals, we will do our best so that there is a common set of concepts that govern privacy. Your response . To have the classification it is deprived of jurisdiction as the chair man pointed out because of the carrier extension and jurisdiction has explicitly been given authorization for things. Second because the fcc irrigated that issue for itself unfortunately the authority under the statute is circumscribed as pointed out section 222 is narrow arcane piece of the puzzle if y
Not to rely on safe harbor that does not provide much guidance at all. You are not encouraging folks not to not block calls are weco[ together on that fact .

Thank you, mr. Chairman. You both agree to facilitate broadband deployment will take reform, is that correct . Yes. Commissioner pei, you mentioned principles. With respect to my broadband plan its a twofold plan and it would be targeted changes to the rules to allow rate of return rate carriers for the costs they incur for deploying in rural areas and that support only extends to voice service, and secondly creating a voluntary path where rate of return carriers could at their option get into similar connect america fund and obviously the socalled model in that regard is not perfect but nonetheless if the rate of return carriers find it to be preferable they should be given a limited window to do that.

And, in turn, barbara, the judge said to uscis customs and Immigration Services what go out and collect the cards . Well, once they were found to be in violation or i should say once uscis disclosed that they had violated the judges injunction, they were instructed to make reasonable steps, subs
