Stake here. So we have to address this in a way that each one of them winds up with fair market compensation. Thank you. May i ask mr. Oneil, what would be the most important element . I would agree with the fair market concept. I believe that the fair market aspect of an omnibus bill would be beneficial to all parties. If i pressed you a little further and indicate that had theres this vast market of broadcast media that is not the internet, youtube, how would they play into an omnibus approach so we wouldnt have to go back down a journey of no return, as weve done in times passed . I think theyd be opposed to it. I think youre tied to some Legacy Industries that dont want to change the value of copy right going forward. They all know the value of their own copyright. I think it comes down to the question of what are the scales, what are the balance of payments for those copy rights.

We came up with a lot of the common commercial ones we talked about here. Then we also kind of had a section of the wall where we wanted to come up with some of the things that we hoped and we wanted to see drones really used for. And aerial delivery of medicines. And those are two examples that we have been involved in since. Any other one of the interesting requests we got early days, walmart found us and they asked us if this is something they publicly talk about. They do, they use satellite imagery to figure out how many people go to the stores. But they want to take a step further and find out how many people go to the stores based on their commercials on tv. So being able to map that and correlate that based on i did this ad campaign and 30 people showed up at the store. Globally and regionally, its huge. All the manufacturing plants in china w
Manufacturing a new Competitive Edge in this global economy. The best thing washington can do is to encourage further growth in investment. As president obama noted in his recent speech touting 3d printing hubs, if you want to attract more good manufacturing jobs, you need to be on the cutting edge. Our company could not agree more. Id like to thank the committee for holding this hearing and id be happy to answer any questions you might have. Thank you, mr. Cobb.

I respectfully recommend that this committee encourage and support initiatives such as 3d maryland that have a focus on multisector, cross disciplinary precompetitive collaboration building on the strengths and Core Competencies to advantage practices, foster innovation and grow regional ecosystems taking advantage of public funding sources. Supporting initiatives like 3d maryland builds on the momentum created by recent initiatives such as the National Manufacturing National Additive manufacturing institute. Addressing and creating an adaptive work force that all points on the spectrum is critical to our engagement of these technologies. I would recommend working at the grassroots level, locally with users, with proven track records from both industry and education. So we can institute some changes in k through 16, Vocational Training and apprenticeship programs, et cetera. Wider adoption is inevitable. We need to ensure that the work force is prepared to increase engagement. Studies
