I want to welcome you to the subcommittee. I appreciate the commissioners appearing to offer their testimony today. And we appreciate that we have been able to hear from you in advance of this hearing. Beencc has not reauthorized since 1990 and its current appropriation is 430 million. It is charged with the administration of Communications Act. Reexamine the Core Functions and restore a culture of humility that was lacking under the regulatory class left by chairman wheeler. The fcc plays a vital role in our increasingly Technology Dependent society. The subcommittee has released a draft for consideration. I would be remiss by not discussing Net Neutrality. The commissions decision to classify the internet as a public utility was a power grab laced with the irony of suffocating the most innovative part of our economy with in 1930s era law. This gave new meaning to the term progressive. Reply comments to the commissions are due august 18. We hope you are keeping that wed whacker handy.
