[applause] good afternoon. Thank you to everyone for being here today. You got me somewhere between senator and the Deputy Attorney general. So its a treat to be back at the state of the net conference and a special thank you to the Internet Education Foundation for having me and thank you for the good work you do to foster conversation about internet policy. Upfront i think i need a disclaimer. As a commissioner at the fcc speaking at the state of the net Conference Im going to defy some expeditions today. Im not going to t neutrality. I support Net Neutrality and i voted against last months decision to go back those rules and i made a ruckus and there is no shortage of place where you can read my heated and sometimes fiery take on what happens.

Im going to overrule that point of order. Did you have another one . I have a couple more but im going to yield to my colleague mr. Smith, as i read through this once more.
