And not instruct all of those agencies that they have to all Work Together. Maybe some of them want to participate and some do not. Maybe its appropriate for some of them. Our reasoning for recommendation is because each provides some level of information and knowledge and expertise that i think it was out that entire package working together of departments that i think will get the best results with that entire package of departments working together. I dont disagree. Is should the right word . Do you want it to be stronger or weaker . I think a little more encouraging, less mandating, directing. Does that make sense . Weaker, i guess, would be the vote. Are you thinking it should be stronger . Shall would say these are the departments that need to be at the table. Should is should is the weaker version. I was thinking you were going in the weaker direction shall means mandating. Should is recommending. Right. Okay. That was the attorney in me and which i am not an attorney, and revea
Identity. I think that is a challenge with that kind of survey. Just from the eyeball on the streets and go to a travellers market and a whole food. You will see the difference on who is carrying bags and who is bringing it. Commissioner laguana. It is fine. So we have a motion by commissioner dwight and seconded by zouzounis. Do you want to read it back . Motion by commissioner dwight, seconded by commissioner zouzounis, to support the legislation provided that a study will be completed to determine how many consumers currently bring their own bags and to include, if possible, a breakdown of the demographics of those consumers.

Could help the internet of things really flourish. Do you think that would be the main thing then that the fcc can do is to maybe step back to offer more encouragement in many of those areas . Yes, i dont think we should be overly aggressive at this point. I believe we should allow experimentation with the internet of things. And i think thats how well see its possibilities grow. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thank you, senator fisher. Senator daines. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Its good to see you here today, commissioner. And good to see your family here as well. Caroline frances is one of my favorite girls name. We have a girl named caroline as well, shes now a big girl.

Thanks for coming to montana last month to participate in the telehill workshop, where im sure you saw firsthand the opportunities that technology truly can bring to Rural America.
