Listen to Corporate Communications and, make insider trades based on the intelligence that hed gathered. He turns out to be the First American ever for tapping a wire. And this was in the year 1864. And he was imprisoned or convicted a statute written in the state of california, 1862, which means that the practice of wiretap being and laws against it, prohibitions against it, date back all the way to the age of the telegraph.

Hope that the fcc moves with dispatch in the proceeding that youve mentioned where weve proposed to get rid of the sports blackout rule. Host does that have to go through congress, or can you do that administratively . Guest oh, theres steps the fcc can take administratively. Weve already started the process of doing that, and were getting comments from the public about that proposal. Host you recently made a proposal about 9 11 calls from hotels. Why . Guest it really struck me that this was a gap in our Public Safety communications that was screaming out for some kind of public awareness. I saw the story on twitter, actually, of someone gave me notice about the issue on twitter, and i read the story, and i couldnt believe that this poor little girl, 9 years old, had to watch her mother get stabbed in a texas hotel, dial 911 four times and wasnt able to reach anybody and ultimately, as you might know, her mother died.
