Thanks, crystal. The express way this morning, our cameras right around belmont avenue. I tried to get this in our camera shot here.

Moving coming to the demonstration instead of going to work and educating your students . Well, those teachers were not shy as pushing right back. When this argument comes up, that teachers should be in the classroom and not out here protesting, what do you say to somebody who has a problem with what youre doing . Its important for everyone to realize that teachers are a tremendously dedicated group of people we teach children to make important decisions. By being here, were modelling that. I struggled up until last night with my decision. Im really glad i came out. Reporter you decided to come because i could, and if i didnt come, who was going to come . Theyre role models at the end of the day to the reporter they wont get to see them to today. No, but their absence shows just as much. Reporter as you well know, there are a lot of other opinions on line right now that are the stark contrast to what you just heard. We should also tell you that this was far from the only protest going

Do something that should be set forth . Well, its a notice and comment preceding. There will be a notice. There will be a comment period, then there will be a reply comments carried, then there will be how to make sense out of all of that. I do want to set an arbitrary date to it i dont.

Of the issues that will be faced by the Tech Community, congress and the federal government in 2016. We have a round table of working reporters to talk with. Corey bennett is with the hill, he covers cybersecurity there. Kate tummarello works for politico and covers technology, and lydia beyoud is with bloomberg bna. Lydia, one of the big issues coming up are the spectrum auctions in march. What can we expect . Guest march 29th is the official kickoff date for broadcasters to relinquish some of their spectrum. Theyll be looking to either go out of business or possibly enter into channelsharing agreements with their colleagues, and a few months after that potentially thatll wrap up, and well see the wireless bidder side start, and were looking at other potential bidders as well such as comcast announced today they might also be bidding for some of that broadcast spectrum. So itll be several months of close attention on the fcc and its auction. Host and you say several months, so most of
Senator gordon smith, president and ceo of the National Association of broadcasters, welcome back to the communicators. We appreciate being here. Guest thank you its a pleasure. Host the current fcc, five commissioners have been a place for a couple of years now, youve, youve got to work with them, how would you describe your relationship and how would you describe the current fcc.
