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.
Just before we go dramatic pictures from Interstate 80 in the us state of wyoming were theyve recently been experiencing gusts of up to 90 miles an hour. Nobody was hurt in this, but it was all caught on a Highway Patrol car dash cam, as clear an example as you ever need to see of how dangerous cross winds can be. And everyone was fine. Now lets see what the weather is doing a little closer to home. Hello, we have had a dusting of snow in parts of the uk today. For most parts of the rain turning back to sleet. We have had a frosty start. It will feel raw in Southern Scotla nd it will feel raw in Southern Scotland and Southern England northern england. The wind will bring in more rain, drizzle, i sleet and health snow. The driest, clearest conditions in the far north of scotland. We will have a gloomy sunday. Lots of cloud around with drizzle and health snow. In scotland, some glimpses of sunshine. Maybe right across the south. The wind will make it feel even colder. Goodbye for now. He
