So i was playing with a large. Number in the last election i believe. We were going to the wall so we will put you know one of the criminal pushes that show. You think you have time. To do the. Scouts. Leave that you constantly. Feel he should resign you to that. You will most. Likely. See if you do the image you can you get other colleagues let you. Touch of yelling. I see this mission i must. Apply for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. Football isnt only about what happens on the pitch for the final school its about the passion from the fans its the age of the superman ija kill the narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. So its an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great one more transfer. And thinks this minute. This is says harlan kentucky. Weve always moved the employee suzy boardroom story fannys leave. A co money since she was almost no coal mines left. The jobs are gone all the coal mines the said. That it was love to see these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. I remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see that and its how its happened. Heres what people have been saying about rejected in that it was there was actually just full on awesome deal the show i go out of my way to punch you know what it is that really packs a punch to sleep yampa is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we are apparently better than food the things that i see people you never heard of love redacted tonight not the president of the world bank so take. Me seriously send us an email. So we really only hear of davos like once a year for the World Economic forum right but what happens to the town during the rest of the year what do they do there all year what does it have to do to get ready for the biggest economic meeting in the world lets go back now over to our children whos there and whats really. For most of the year davos switzerland is a quiet town of under Twelve Thousand people as the highest town in europe amongst the swiss alps most of the winter is about snow and Winter Sports there skiing and snowboarding and skating but the week before and the week of the World Economic forum this city shifts and tremendously transforms fashion during the forum week one is as likely to see folks on sidewalks with old school wingtip shoes and briefcases as they are with people with skis boots and poles even buildings shapeshifter just days ago theres a pizzeria dance club that is transformed into what is now called crypto h. Q. A local longer a shop blue lemons for this week is a temporary home to sales force the Cloud ComputingCompany Costs for these rentals can run in the tens even hundreds of thousands of dollars a church was even transformed for the week into a money making venture as they run out the establishment even nations like argentina and ukraine have rented various buildings weve interviewed guest this week at the india house and the russia house and the local economy is also boosted by big bucks a hotel where if you can find a room it will cost you five hundred dollars at a minimum and at restaurants the cost of a steak meal with no frills can run you one hundred dollars this year has been especially transformative and not in a great way davos has experience more snow than any year since one thousand nine hundred ninety nine st snowblowers fill large truck which take and dump the snow outside of town as another truck quickly replaces the older one and while the removal process is a fish and all that snow has made the already small roads not much more than a single lane making traffic totally terrible thats either with hundreds of Police Officers from neighboring communities joining the security and traffic effort on tuesday for example it took the boom bust team two hours to travel only two blocks as the forum ends today. Many attendees will stay over the weekend come monday residents and businesses alike and doubles will begin to get back to normal but they will do so with a little more money in their wallets and their bank accounts. As you know the world is becoming smaller and smaller every day one of the things thats helped us connect is the ability to talk to virtually anybody almost anywhere with the advancement of technology a person here in the u. S. Could be skype being or on the face time with somebody in china in just a matter of seconds this theme of Global Messaging has played a huge role at davos and bart managed to catch up with one man who knows a little bit about the subject check it out. And were back again and this time we are fortunate in actually honored to have Philip Metzger who is the director general of the federal Communications Office here in switzerland but more important than that hes also a Global Leader on technology and communication issues director general thank you for being with us thanks very much for having me and in davos of course the conversations about what we do in the world and how does communications and digitization play into creating a less fractured world server well of course that is that is the one Million Dollar question because on the one hand the communication per se we know thats that will be used to interact as human beings but on the other hand digitization is changing our entire lives how we work our we live how we play and so i think we have on the one hand the challenge of having a communication that reaches anyone and that we can have open channels of communication that we have and certainly the freedom to express ourselves and on the other hand with the new digital potential that we have we have to make sure that we move forward into a Digital World without leaving the people behind so inclusive inclusiveness inclusive it see it will be key and that requires i believe new forms of interaction as well to reap the benefits of that just as a show and director general you certainly know about our reversal of Net Neutrality which for lack of a better phrase rations knowledge because it rations choice and information whether its on the internet or on television but how do you balance as a regulator the free market and demands for open access etc at the same time privacy of individuals out how do you walk that tightrope and i think thats of course a key aspect of how we make sure that Going Forward we keep the internet open and free and that people can use that tool not only just to communicate to interact but a. So to develop innovation and to develop and new services new goods and of course to allow for Sustainable Development which is our overall goal if you think about the twentieth erkki agenda and so i think that having said said that the question of neutral access of open access is key if i look at it from a swiss perspective we certainly want to make sure that our networks are open that there is no restriction there is no blocking of content we are keeping a close eye on that we have good initiatives from the sector we have Good Business initiatives we have good interaction between the stakeholders because citizens are concerned about this is well but ultimately also need a number of number of rules without over regulating it because that can be counterproductive as well and so as we speak were discussing in switzerland the revision of our telecoms act where we would like to in trying a number of rules regarding transparency so that the customer actually knows how his or her data is being treated and that they have a choice and im familiar ive been in this circumstance before where you know there is often times and over reaction to by politicians and i dont say that a negative way they are accountable to the people but legislators they want to do something and its really your job director general jobs like i had before where you have to say nah lets make sure we do the commonsense approach and you go in and listen to people so thats a really a complicated balance to hold as weve talked about all the other issues well of course i mean im speaking again from my own country you know our fundamental freedoms are key to us there in trying to our constitution the freedom of expression is an absolutely key tool for having the democracy that we have in switzerland the direct democracy work and so we certainly want to make sure we keep that openness having said that we are also aware and thats one other point were going to try and change in that act that would the government. Proposing a telecoms act to make sure precisely as you mentioned the child pornography that we can crack down on that more efficiently because there are a number of rules today and so it is a fine line as you said it is a fine line that we have to walk and we want to be sure there is no overreaction but clearly there are fundamentals where days frankly a political consensus as well where we want to make sure that there are clear limits and with regard to big data this term thats often thrown around were so your phone companies can follow you around in your mobile device eccentric how are you balancing that freedom of big data and at the same time looking at scams and fraud internet crimes and well again i think for us to have that freedom and to preserve it this is key we have a believe a constitution which allows for a lot of private initiative to come up with solutions that work that people are hearing to that theyre also buying in a sense if you speak about business but on the other hand what we realize of course is that we also have clear maybe european views if you will when it comes to data privacy and they may be different from other continents i think we have a sort of a common understanding that we want to have a control over our own data as well and i think is that one of the major challenges Going Forward big data and data per se is becoming an incredible resource and incredible. Some people call it infrastructure rather would say its like a raw material in any case its something which allows us to progress a society the question is on the what conditions and the can and the question is for us also in switzerland is how can we provide for a framework which allows us to generate added value because what we see at the moment to be quite honest is that a lot of its value is being created elsewhere and here there are major corporations Global Corporations which are of course have had fantastic inventions that theyre using though that theyre promoting that theyre. We have great infrastructures i. T. Infrastructures in our country but i dont think today we are getting enough of the share that we would like to get from the potential of data so we will have to find there as well find the right balance between the Data Protection which is a key component in our culture again and i think in the y. European context on the one hand but becoming better in trying to provide the right rules that allow businesses that allow a also the use for commercial purposes and i think the key component is to bring that together so they would be more tools for the individual to decide what he or she wants to do with his or her data and then enter into a kind of a transaction mode with business director general i travel a lot all over the world but i travel in Rural America too and i can tell you in the states there are some places that you know its not how much how many bars you have its whether or not you have a bar whether or not theres even service there and it needs to be much better but im curious whats the circumstance you travel all over the world to know whats the circumstance here in switzerland in the europe and in the world do they even have some of these internet or Internet Connections in some areas like Subsaharan Africa etc well i think we have as i mentioned earlier we have i think we have certainly for speaking for switzerland very good connectivity and the providers the Telecom Providers operators are investing to keep investing a lot in that both fixed and mobile but as you mentioned i mean if you look at the global scale if you look at this this issue there is clearly. Something a risk in a sense that we get to a Digital Divide where we have people with access and we have others which dont and we know at the moment on the global scale it is not a really positive picture because too many people dont have access to the internet and again as important as the open internet the fundamental freedoms that can be expressed over the internet and unfettered. Access is important of course is to get the physical infrastructure in place and there i believe Technology Helps us in the sense that we have a lot of mobile great mobile technology or satellite also that helps to leapfrog in a number of countries where they couldnt just deploy fixed wires in the ground and on the other hand we have to ask ourselves what policies and what regulations are actually conducive to investments we are right now working in the within the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development to which i am a member on a set of policy recommendations which should be you know be looked into by Decision Makers when they decide what kind of rules they set because you can greatly influence the will and the willingness. Of operators of investors to come to those countries who desperately need the access so i think it is a fundamental point if we dont crack the question of the Digital Divide we will have major major issues and we will leave the vast vast populations across the globe in a situation that they are not supposed to be that they deserve to be much better much better connectivity and so i think thats thats ultimately what were here for director general Philip Metzger we thank you so much for your time for your dedication to Public Service and for being a Global Citizen and helping to work on these issues all over the world thank you so much for your time is an honor to be with you thank you.
