Jump in. Dont be shy. Certainly i think from my little world of this surveillance world where so much trust has been lost, especially for users outside the United States, i think the simple but very meaningful steps would include updating u. S. Surveillance law. Weve got some good vehicles for that. Weve got great vehicles right now for reforming the Electronic Communications privacy act which is one of our domestic surveillance statutes. Get it to be consistent with the standards that most companies are complying with any way in the United States. Statutes are way out of date. The second is addressing the National Security authorities in the United States, u. S. Freedom act is one vehicle that does a nice job of addressing concerns. Particularly issues of bulk surveillance by u. S. Natural security. Those are two very important vehicles that are there ready to be passed and can help reduce the concerns about aggressive u. S. Surveillance. I think theres also a great need for the Unite
So there is a lot of need to exchange information. And the announcement that my colleague is going to talk about not only for the ability to improve patient care but also to begin to study the effect of the countries. So, we do hope it would be possible to conduct the trial in the coming months. We have already begun discussions with all of the developers about how hey could do that. They are at the earliest stages of development. There is no impetus to manufacture it in that large scale. This constrains options for doing large scale products right now and to widebly distribute a product that is investigational. And also to be able to establish the needs of safety. To do that, we need to do a clinical trial. It seem like a daunting, daunting endeavor. The announcement by the president is really very critical. Not only to taking care of, for the ability to improve patient care but also to be able to begin to study these products in the affected countries. We do hope that it will be poss
The 114th congress is about to begin and 2015 is shaping up to potential by he a busy year in telecommunication issues. So this week on the communicators we invited three Technology Reporters to join us to preview the year and look what the congress or fcc may do, what the Administration May do. Joining us, kate tummarello, brendan sass sew and brian fung. Mr. Sasso, lets begin with you, when we asked you what were the issues you wanted to talk about all three of you put Net Neutrality first. Whats going to happen in 2015. The big telecom issue 2015fcc chairman champ wheeler said he wanted rules on the books by the end of the year. Thats not going to happen. So now its an issue 20615. Im expecting the fcc will come out with final rules on Net Neutrality. President obama came out in support of reclassifying Broadband Service under title 2 of the communications act, which would essentially make it treated like a utility. The broadband Industry Groups are fiercely opposed to this. So ther

Since 1978 when the fisa court was created there have been two appeals of the lower courts decisions. I think thats a really amazing statistic. We wanted to include a mechanism that would create the opportunity for additional appellate review given the types of things that the fisa court has been reviewing especially in the last decade or so the bulk collection programs of course being a prime example of that. It also included information related to the nondisclosure orders that, long with section 215 orders and National Security letters and this gets to some of the transparency issues we have been discussing. When you receive a section 215 order or fisa court order or national skirt a letter comes with something that says you cant tell anyone about it. There have been federal Court Decisions and kurt can probably speak to this as well that says that violates the First Amendment in the current statutes. So we have statutory provisions to address the problems and provide judicial review
