I do not ask this as a politician. As dakota was suggesting. I ask as one of so many mothers of a combat vet. When my son went off to war the first time as a teenager, i was confronted with the same reality that all the other moms have to face and just realizing, i was not going to be there to help, to protect.

Our troops are promised no one will be left kind. They are promised that a grateful nation will spare no expense to patch them up and bring them back to health when wounded. And now they come home wounded. Too many broken in body and spirit. Well we their mothers and their fathers and their house and their weives, we are here to collect on the promises made.
Millions of often autogenerated, very short and not particularly or in anyway, rigorous comments from many, many commenters who said you know this is terrible, you need to go to title 2. He points to what changed, what he learned in the interim, its that four million, he says, commenters said we want title 2 and so did the president. But i think, at least from my per spektsive as a prak tigs to space, the key issue for chairman wheeler would be whether he explains it well enough in the dock et when hes faced with an apel lat court thats reviewing that. It kind of gets me to my earlier point that this rulemaking itself is not in a vacuum. Its actually a remanned essentially, from the verizon case, which itself was a reaction to the comcast case before that. Ed. So its not without a fwraet deal of prior work that hes operating. I think thats an interpretation. Not everyone is in agreement that the court invited the commission to classify for the sole purpose of getting together to regula

[inaudible conversations] we will call the subcommitsubcommit tee on communications and technology to order and begin our hearing on the evolution of wired Communications Networks. Wired Communications Networks have come a long way since the days of the telegraph or the rotary phone. It is getting harder and harder to remember at a time when you wanted to reach out and touch someone ma bell twisted copper wires were the only option. Todays consumers have so many more optio
We will continue to update you as more details become available.

Host host welcome back. We are joined by congressman joe barton, a republican member of the house energy and commerce committee. Thank you for joining us. Later this week the committee will have the first hearing on the web site healthcare. Gov. Tell us what are your biggest questions . Guest my biggest question is why they put that much money into something that flat out doesnt work.

Copper Communications Network and significant plans to deploy new fiber infrastructure how will the new Fiber Networks handle natural disasters like hurricanes . We know that the copper continue to operate but what happens now with the new Fiber Networks and you know dealing with that issue . How are you going to deal with them . There is unfortunately no Ip Technology congressman that allows you to power the line. You cannot put power over a fiber connection. Fiber has many other advantages in addition to its internet capacity and one of them i think is relevant in a hurricane or a flood zone or a sandy type situation is that seawater will destroy copper and make it unrepairable. Fiber is very resilient in that type of situation frank desoer our wireless networks. We get them up and running quickly after these storms and i say that knock on wood because we are still in hurricane system. Again i think that we all agree that these community should not lose services they rely on simply b
