Come to order. I want to thank everybody for coming. I have a fairly short statement that i will read and then i will turn to the senator. Were convening under different circumstances of our previous meeting. Were following the guidance of the cdc and the office of attending physician. So were spaced further apart. Our staff is reduced. Were grateful for all of them. The general public is watching online rather than filling up the room. So our hearing today will look a little different. I think we can all agree that the capitol feels a little different, the halls of congress feel a little different. Small businesses, if theyre allowed to open at all, are operating on a very different circumstances. American homes have become classrooms and offices for millions of american families. And at least for a while, American Life as we know it has changed. Nonetheless, access or inaccess to Broadband Internet services, especially in rural areas, as remained unchanged and it might be a good topi

Welcome the Senior Vice President of seatac at the us chamber of commerce. Good morning great to be here, great to see you. I want to thank christian and his team for organizing such an excellent program. I have enjoyed working with christian on a number of important issues to seatac and our Member Companies but at seatac the Chamber Technology Engagement Center we are working to establish a National Data privacy standard that protects allamericans equally and promote policies that enable emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, Automated Vehicles and Unmanned Aircraft to thrive. Our goal is to see a workforce that is skilled and prepared for the digital economy. A Common Thread running through our work is the issue of data. Without a thriving Martin Communications network none of this is possible and that is why i am happy to be here today to introduce chairman ajit pai. He is the son of immigrants the rose through Harvard University and the university of chicago law school
