S. B. PORT SIXTY.
BY THE PRO TEM.
.
BILL RELATING TO BROADBAND
INTERNET ACCESS SERVICE.
WELCOME PRO TEM.
BAKER MUCH UGH MORNING A MISTER
CHAIR AS WELL AS MR VICE CHAIR
MORALE COLLEAGUES ON THAT YOU
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT.
A SENATE BILL FOURS FOUR SIXTY.
THREE DECADES AGO THREE SHORT
DECADES AGO THE WORLD.
WAS JUST DISCOVERING THE
INTERNET'S WE HAD NO IDEA JUST
HOW RAPIDLY IN COMPLETELY IT
WOULD CHANGE OUR LIVES FROM THE
WAY WE COMMUNICATE TO HOW WE DO
BUSINESS.
TO HOW WE GET AROUND AND EVEN
HOW WE BY OUR OWN GROCERIES.
TODAY THE INTERNET IS CRITICAL
TO FREE EXPRESSION FREE SPEECH
AS WELL AS DEMOCRACY. AND
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS OF EVERY
INCOME LEVEL AND POLITICAL
PERSUASION DEPEND ON A FREE AND
OPEN INTERNET.
FOR THEIR LIVELIHOODS.
THATS WHY THE FCC'S DECISION TO
REPEAL NET NEUTRALITY IS SO
DANGEROUS. AND THAT'S WHY THIS
BILL PLEASE SUPPORT.
NOT ONLY DOES A RECENT REPEAL OF
NET NEUTRALITY PROTECTIONS
DIRECTLY CONTRADICT THE THE WILL
OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF
AMERICANS.
IT ALSO GIVES INTERNET SERVICE
PROVIDERS A POWER.
TO PERHAPS UNDERMINE THE
COMPETITION BY THROTTLING THE
INTERNET SPEEDS FOR COMPUTING
CONTENT. OR TO LET COMPANIES PAY
FOR PARTY TO GAIN AN UNFAIR
ADVANTAGE IN THE RACE FOR TIME
FOR ATTENTION AS WELL AS OUR
BUSINESS. AND WITHOUT STRONG NET
NEUTRALITY RULES THERE'S NOTHING
TO STOP COMPANIES THAT ALREADY
MONOPOLIZE INTERNET FROM
BLOCKING WEBSITES OR
INFORMATIONAL TOGETHER.
IT SOON POINT TO ECONOMY AND OUR
WAY OF LIFE
SENATE BILL FOUR SIXTY WILL
PREVENT EYES PEAS FROM. BY ANY
POTENTIAL DECEPTIVE OR
DISCRIMINATORY OR ANTI
COMPETITIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES.
IT PRESERVES THE HEART OF THE
FCC'S NET NEUTRALITY RULES AND
PROHIBITS ISPS FROM BLOCKING
FRAWLEY. OUT AND PAY PRIOR
TRANSITION.
AT A GIVES CONSUMERS GREATER
TRANSPARENCY ABOUT THE SERVICES
WE ALL DEPEND ON AN EVERYDAY
LIFE. NET NEUTRALITY IS GOOD FOR
CONSUMERS AND PROTECTS LEVEL THE
LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR ALL
COMPANIES IN ARE THRIVING
INTERNET.
ECONOMY. IT IS ALSO
FUNDAMENTALLY AN ISSUE OF FREE
SPEECH AND FREE EXPRESSION.
WATCH WHAT YOU ABOUT WHO HAS
ACCESS TO WHICH IDEAS AND WHO
GETS TO DECIDE WHICH INFORMATION
YOU SEE. AND HOW FASTER INTERNET
WORKS I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE
BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.
THAT NO COMPANY SHOULD DECIDE
HOW YOU SEE THE INTERNET SOARING
NEWCOMERS SHOULD DECIDE HOW TO
POWER DOES HAVE THE POWER TO
SLOW DOWN YOUR CONNECTION.
NO COMPANY SHOULD IT BE ABLE TO
HOLD YOUR IDEAS HOSTAGE OR
DEMAND A RANSOM TEXAS OUR
FAVORITE STREAMING SERVICES A
WEBSITE. PROBABLY THAT SENATE
BILL FOUR SIXTY SETS VERY CLEAR
REASONABLE STANDARDS FOR
INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS AND
OFFERS. NECESSARY PROTECTIONS
ARE BOTH ONLINE BUSINESSES AND
CONSUMERS MISCHARACTERIZE MISTER
VICE CHAIR. I DO WANNA.
STATE THAT I AM PLEASED SIX UP
THE TECHNICAL MEMBERS STRUCK
MENA PAGE FIFTEEN ON THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS. OF THESE
AMENDMENTS WOULD ENSURE
CONSISTENCY WITH THE OPEN
INTERNET ORDER.
I DO RESPECT WE ASKED WHEN I
BUT I DO WANT TO GIVE IT SPECIAL
RECOGNITION TO EMPOWER OUR
COLLEAGUES HERE TO. A CENTER
SCOTT WIENER TO SINCE GOT NGUYEN
AND I WILL BE WORKING TOGETHER
ALONG WITH OUR COLLEAGUES LA ON
THE ASSEMBLY AS WE FORCE
TOGETHER.
THIS ISSUE ON NET NEUTRALITY TO
ONE I THINK YOUR LEADERSHIP.
FROM THE GECKO WHEN THIS WAS
DECIDED UNFORTUNATELY AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL A BUT I AM LOOKING
FORWARD TO ROBUST DISCUSSION ON
THIS ISSUE AND GETTING THE.
THE.
THE OF ALL THE SUGGESTIONS THAT
MEMBERS MAY HAVE BEEN CONCERNS
THAT WE CAN TILLIE REFORM
NETWORK.
I'M HERE TODAY TO SUPPORT SB
FOUR SIXTY AND I APPLAUD THE
LEGISLATURE FOR TAKING ON THIS
VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE.
TO TURN HAS BEEN ACTIVELY
INVOLVED IN NET NEUTRALITY
ISSUES AT THE FCC FOR MANY MANY
YEARS.
INCLUDING FILING OMMENT.
ON.
THESE ISSUES THAT LED TO THE
LANDMARK TWENTY FIFTEEN OPEN
INTERNET ORDER. AND IN RESPONSE
TO THE CURRENT FCC'S PROPOSAL TO
OVERTURN THE PROVISIONS ADOPTED
IN TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN. WE
SUPPORT STATE ACTION TO ENSURE
NET NEUTRALITY IN CALIFORNIA
THROUGH EVERY AVAILABLE AVENUE.
EXCLUDING CERTAIN LEGISLATION
AND THE COURTS. NET NEUTRALITY
MEANS THAT THE PEOPLE BUSINESSES
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TECH
INNOVATORS AND CONTENT PROVIDERS
SUCH AS A CALIFORNIA BASED
WRITERS PRODUCERS AND DIRECTORS.
WHO CREATE THE CONTENT PROVIDED
OVER THE INTERNET AND VIEWED
AROUND THE WORLD CAN USE
BROADBAND INTERNET ACCESS
SERVICE WITHOUT BEING SUBJECT TO
DISCRIMINATORY TREATMENT? MEANS
THAT ALL ACCESS TO AND PROVISION
OF CONTENT AND SERVICES WILL BE
TREATED FAIRLY. AND NOT
DISADVANTAGED BY ACTIONS TAKEN
BY NETWORK OPERATORS TO PULL UP
TO BLOCK THROTTLE OR GIVE
PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT TO THOSE
WHO PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE OR TO
THEIR AFFILIATES. NOW ALL OF THE
ACTIVITIES FOSTERED BY AN OPEN
INNER INTERNET AND SUPPORTED BY
THE PRIOR FCC RULES ARE VITAL
FOR CALIFORNIANS IN OUR ECONOMY.
THE TWENTY FIFTEEN FCC NET
NEUTRALITY DECISION WAS GROUNDED
IN AN EXTENSIVE RECORD.
AND A SOLID LEGAL FOUNATION
WHICH THE DC CIRCUIT COURT OF
APPEALS UPHELD AND WHICH IT
FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT WITH
HISTORICAL PRECEDENT. THE RECORD
INCLUDED. EXTENSIVE EVIDENCE OF
HARMS CAUSED BY THE ACTIONS OF
NETWORK OPERATORS BEFORE THEY
WERE OBLIGATED TO ADHERE TO
ROBUST NET NEUTRALITY.
REQUIREMENTS THE CURRENT FCC
CHOSE TO IGNORE THAT EVIDENCE
JUST OTHER CHOSE TO IGNORE
SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE REBUTTING
SPEECHES CLAIMS.
BUT THE SHORT LIVED NET
NEUTRALITY RULES THAT SOMEHOW
HARMED INVESTMENT. AND JUST AS
IT SHOWS.
TO MAKE MORE COMMENTS FROM
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO DO NOT
WANT TO HAVE THEIR ACCESS TO
CONTENT REGULATED BY THE
CORPORATIONS THAT OWN AND
OPERATE THESE NETWORKS. AND
IMPORTANTLY THE FCC IGNORED THE
SMALLER INNOVATIVE IN AND
INTERNET PROVIDERS WHO
ENCOURAGED THEM TO RETAIN THE
ROBUST NET NEUTRALITY RULES
SAYING THEY HAD EXPERIENCED NO
ADDITIONAL BARRIERS TO.
INVESTMENT OR DEPLOYMENT AS A
RESULT OF THAT ORDER AND ALSO
EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT IN THE
ABSENCE OF ROBUST NET NEUTRALITY
RULES. THERE WOULD BE AN ANTI
COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT IT WOULD
THREATEN THE VIABILITY OF
COMPETITIVE ENTRY AND THE
VIABILITY OF THE SMALL
COMPANIES.
AND AS DIRECT COMPETITORS TO THE
BIGGEST CABLE AND TELEPHONE
COMPANIES WE HAVE RESERVATIONS
ABOUT ANY PLAN TO OVERTURN THOSE
RULES. SIXTEEN CALIFORNIA
INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER SIGNED
THAT LETTER. BOB THE RESULT OF
THE CURRENT AT ITS HE SEES
ACTION IS THAT BROADBAND
INTERNET ACCESS PROVIDERS NOW
HAVE UNFETTERED POWER. TO BLOCK
WEBSITE STARTLE SERVICES IN THE
ABILITY TO DISCRIMINATE. IN
TERMS OF TREATMENT OF CONTACT.
THE FCC'S ACTION IS GOING TO BE
CHALLENGED IN THE COURTS
THE CALIFORNIA ALSO NEEDS THE
LEGISLATURE TO TAKE THE STEPS
THAT ARE WITHIN ITS POWER. TO
PRESERVE AN OPEN INTERNET. AND
THE BENEFITS THAT IT PROVIDES TO
OUR STATES. WE RECOGNIZE IT THIS
BILL IS A FIRST STEP IN
ADDRESSING NET NEUTRALITY IN
CALIFORNIA AND WE ARE READY. TO
WORK WITH SENATOR DAILY OWN
SENATOR WIENER AND EVERYONE IN.
ALL SUPPORTERS OF CHU NET
NEUTRALITY TO MAKE THIS THE BEST
BILL POSSIBLE.

MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS SILVIUS
ALICIA ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF
SANTA MONICA WE THINK THE PRO
TbM FOR BRINGING THIS MEASURE
FOURTH WE BELIEVE CALIFORNIANS
SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO A FAIR AND
OPEN INTERNET THINKING.
HI CHARITIES FOR AN OFFICER
REPAIR ADVOCATES A RETURN
SUPPORT THINKING.
VERY WELL A SPEAKERS IN
OPPOSITION. WE CAN HAVE THE.
ORGANIZED PRESENTATION COMPORT
.
GOOD MORNING. THUMP.
GOOD MORNING MARC.
I THINK MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS CAROLINE MCINTYRE ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA CABLE
AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS
ASSOCIATION.
LET ME START BY SAYING WELL THE
MEMBERS OF C. CTA ARE COMMITTED
TO PROVIDING AN OPEN INTERNET WE
MUST OPPOSE THAT S. BEFORE
SIXTY.
AB BEFORE SIXTY DIRECTS THE
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION TO ESTABLISH A. A
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR
IMPOSING.
.
REQUIREMENTS
ON THE INTERNET.
THE FCC ORDER THAT WAS APPROVED
IN DECEMBER ACTUALLY RESTORED
THE LIGHT TOUCH REGULATORY
FRAMEWORK THAT HAS BEEN IN
EXISTENCE FOR THE LAST TWO
DECADES. IT'S THE FRAMEWORK
UNDER WHICH THE INTERNET HAS
BEEN ALLOWED TO THRIVE AND TO
GROW AND THE MANY TECHNOLOGIES
AND COMPANIES THAT WE HAVE SEEN
INNOVATE AS A RESULT OF THE
INTERNET.
TWO ALSO THRIVE IN THAT
ENVIRONMENT.
THE ORDER SET FORTH TO VERY
CLEAR TRANSPARENCY REQUIREMENTS
SO THAT INTERNET SERVICE
PROVIDERS ARE REQUIRED. TO
INFORM CONSUMERS AND THE AND
OTHERS I'M WHAT THEIR PRACTICES
ARE.
THE FCC IT'S CLEAR AUTHORITY TO
ENFORCE THE OPEN INTERNET
PRINCIPLES AND TO SAFEGUARD
CONSUMER PRIVACY.
THE FCC IS IN FACT THE
APPROPRIATE REGULATORY AUTHORITY
TO SEEK OVERSEE. AND THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF OF THE RULES I
BELIEVE I SAID F.
SEE SEE I MEANT TO SAY F. T. C.
I'M GETTING MY TEASE IT SEEMS
CONFUSED HERE UNFORTUNATELY.
S. B. FOR SIXTIES PROPOSAL TO
PROVIDE THE CPC WITH THE
AUTHORITY TO DEVELOP RULES
GOVERNING INTERNET SERVICES IT
IT'S PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW.
AND IT'S SIMPLY BACK POLICY.
THE FCC REGULATIONS CLEARLY
PROHIBITED STATES FROM
REGULATING THE INTERNET AND
RECOGNIZES THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE
SUCH AN INTERSTATE SERVICE
REGULATED. ON A STATE BY STATE
BASIS.
IF ADOPTED AS BEFORE SIXTY WHAT
LIKELY RESULT IN VERY COSTLY
LITIGATION AND MARKET
UNCERTAINTY FOR MARKET
PARTICIPANTS AND QUITE FRANKLY
FOR CONSUMERS.
WELL THE BILL'S FINDINGS CLAIM
THAT THE BILL'S PROVISIONS WILL
RESULT IN LOWER PRICES AND
BROADER CONSUMER CHOICES THE
MORE LIKELY RESULT. IS AT THE
REGULATION AS GUIDED BY THIS
BILL WOULD ACTUALLY HARM
CONSUMERS DECREASING INNOVATION
AND INVESTMENT IN BROADBAND AND
AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES.
IN ADDITION THE INCREASE BURDENS
OF COMPLIANCE INEVITABLY WILL
RESULT IN INCREASED COSTS TO
CONSUMERS FOR BROADBAND
SERVICES.
HE THREE TEAM MEMBERS HAVE
PUBLICLY COMMITTED AND.
IN A LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE WAY CAN
BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR. I'M
INTERNET AB POLY R. INTERNET
PRACTICES WE HAVE COMMITTED TO
KNOW BLOCKING NO THROTTLING. NO
PAID PRIORITIZATION. NOT ONLY
ARE THE S. B. ISPS.
ABLE TO BE A HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY
THE FTC WE MAY ALSO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE BY THE CALIFORNIA
ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
ONE OF THE MANY THINGS THAT THIS
REGULATION OF THE INTERNET
OBSCURES IS THAT IN SUBSTANTIAL
AGREEMENT. ON THE BASIC
PRINCIPLES OF BEHAVIOR THAT
PROMOTE AN OPEN INTERNET
EXPERIENCE FOR CONSUMERS.
IN GENERAL CONSUMERS ARE AND
SHOULD BE IN CHARGE HAVE THEIR
INTERNET EXPERIENCE.
SO LONG AS.
THERE CONTACTED LAWFUL AND
SUBJECT TO THE PROVIDERS
REASONABLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT
INTERNET USERS HAVE THE FREEDOM
TO GO ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET
OR TO MAKE ANY APPLICATION WITH
CONFIDENCE.
THAT THE DELIVERY OF TRAFFIC
WILL NOT BE BLOCKED OR THROTTLE.
THAT IDEA IS AT THE FOUNDATION
OF INTERNET SERVICES REFLECTS
HOW CONSUMERS ENJOYED THE
INTERNET TODAY AND DESPITE THE
CLAIMS TO THE CONTRARY. IS NOT
IN JEOPARDY.
THE CABLE INDUSTRY UNEQUIVOCALLY
SUPPORTS IN OPEN INTERNET
HOWEVER SP FOUR SIXTY IS
UNNECESSARY DOWN THE WRONG
APPROACH.
STATE LEVEL POLICIES OF
REGULATING THE INTERNET ARE
PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW. AND
ARE INAPPROPRIATE FOR AN
INHERENTLY INTERSTATE SERVICE
AND. IF ENACTED WOULD LIKELY
RESULT IN COSTLY LITIGATION.
FOR THESE REASONS WE WERE
QUESTIONED ABOUT ON THIS.
THANK YOU.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. ON MY
NAME IS FAITH MULTI SARAH I'M
THE.
FCC BOARD ON BROADBAND ADOPTION
AND AND DIVERSITY. AYE MULLER'S
SOUL.
FUNDED BY CSU BOARD FOR US
TREASURY ON COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS. I'M ALSO THE SEAL
OF THE NATIONAL DIVERSITY
COALITION AND NATIONALISM ASIAN
AMERICAN COALITION. WILL
REPRESENT THE SEVENTY PERCENT OF
CALIFORNIA'S THAT ARE LIVING
PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.
AFTER THE READING THE ANALYSIS
OF SB FOUR SUCCEED AUTHOR STATE
SAID OPEN INTERNET IS TOO
IMPORTANT TO OUR ECONOMY AND OUR
WAY OF LIFE.
IF THIS IS THE MAIN INTENTION
THEN YOU SHOULD NOT APPROVED S.
BEFORE SIXTY. Y. ASSAD COMMUNITY
ORGANIZER. AND DEALING WITH A
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES LOW
INCOME I'M MOTIVATED STUDENTS
SENIOR CITIZENS AND HUNDREDS OF
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.
THIS BILL IS UNLIKELY WILL HELP
PUBLIC INTEREST.
NUMBER ONE IF YOU PASS THIS BILL
AND CPUC WILL IMPLEMENT.
THIS MEANS IT WILL TAKE EIGHTEEN
THE FIFTEEN YEARS BEFORE IT'S
FULLY IMPLEMENTED.
ALTHOUGH I LOVE AND RESPECT CPUC
THEIR PROCESS AS YOU KNOW IS
VERY SLOW.
NUMBER TWO. THE COMPANIES THAT
PROVIDES INTERNET LIKE ETIENNE
T. THEIR I SIGNING TARTAR. AYE
GENERALLY SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE.
THE OFTEN FOCUS ON LOW INCOME
BROADBAND SUPPLIER DIVERSITY. ON
THE OTHER HAND THE HIGH TECH
COMPANIES SUCH AS APPLE
FACEBOOK.
HAD LIMITED SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY ACHIEVEMENT IN
THIS AREA.
THEY UNITED STATES HE SAID BASS
IN THE MIDDLE WHEN IT COMES TO
LOW HIGH SPEED INTERNET.
EIGHTY MORE REGULATION THAT DO
NOT APPLY TO THE HIGH TECH
INDUSTRIES IS UNLIKELY TO
PROMOTE OUR GOAL. OF BEING
NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD IN THE
MIDDLE CLASS HIGH SPEED INTERNET
BROADBAND FOR AUTUMN.
BEFORE CONSIDERING AN ACTING ON
AS BEFORE SIX A. URGE ALL OF YOU
TO COLLECTIVELY CALLED FOR A
MEETING AMONG THE HIGH TECH
INDUSTRIES.
CHARTER OF THE WORLD THE
COMMUNITY GROUPS TO ESTABLISH
VISIBLE GOALS TO ENSURE THAT
WOULD IN TEN YEARS CALIFORNIANS
WHO WILL SHARE IN THE LEAST
COSTLY MORE SOMEBODY WILL.
UNIVERSAL BROADBAND IN THE
WORLD.
THIS IS THE GOAL THAT WE SHOULD
ALL WORK TOGETHER.
I URGE YOU AS SOMEONE THAT
DEALERS WHO DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES EVERY DAY YOUR BILL
IS NOT THE ANSWER FOR OPEN
INTERNET. IF YOU WANT TO PROTECT
CONSUMERS AND INTERNET FOR ALL.
LET'S TO OUR JOB AS PUBLIC
SERVANT IN ENCOURAGING MORE
INVESTMENTS WHICH WILL CREATE
MORE JOBS MORE HOMEOWNERSHIP AND
SMALL BUSINESS GROWTH. THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME HERE THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS
STEEP CARLSON KEPT CALIFORNIA
GOVERNOR AFFAIRS COUNCIL FOR
CTIA WHERE THEY GET TRADE
ASSOCIATION FOR THE WIRELESS
INDUSTRY.
BUT WHEN TO REPEAT A LOT OF
THINGS THAT WERE SAID THUMB BY
BOTH WITNESSES WE SUPPORT THEM
THE WIRELESS INDUSTRY IS IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF A FREE AND
OPEN INTERNET.
BUT RESPECTFULLY.
WE DO NOT BELIEVE THIS BILL IS
AN OPEN INTERNET BILL WE BELIEVE
THIS BILL IS THREATENS MONOPOLY
UTILITY STYLE REGULATION OF THE
INTERNET.
THE INTERNET GOT TO WHERE IT WAS
JUST BECAUSE OF THE POLICIES
THAT HAVE JUST BEEN.
IMPLEMENTED.
UP WE SAW IN THE AND THE FCC IN
ITS SEARCH TWENTY SEVENTEEN
ORDER.
SAW THAT IN THE TWO YEARS OF
THAT UNDER THE TWENTY FIFTEEN
ORDER.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE IN THE
WIRELESS INDUSTRY.
DROPPED SIX BILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR.
BOB RURAL WIRELESS PROVIDERS
NOTED UNNECESSARY AND COSTLY
OBLIGATIONS INHIBITED THEIR
ABILITY TO BUILD AND OPERATE
THEIR NETWORKS.
THERE'S AMPLE*. AMPLE
ENFORCEMENT ABILITIES RIGHT NOW
WE DO NOT NEED A PATCHWORK OF
STATE REGULATION. EVEN THE
TWENTY FIFTEEN ORDER BY MISTER
WHEELER. PREEMPTED
STATE REGULATION THAT WE MIGHT
HAVE DISAGREED WITH THE ORDER
ITSELF BUT THE IDEA THE CONCEPT
WHICH YOU NEED A NATIONAL
FRAMEWORK FOR THE INTERNET TO
OPERATE STATE BY STATE. SOME
DOES NOT WORK SO FOR THOSE
REASONS WE RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE
SUCH AS BEFORE SIXTY.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS BILL DIVINE
AYE AND I'M WITH A T. AND T..
WE TO OF COURSE SUPPORTED OPEN
INTERNET.
BUT THE OPEN LET ME SKIP A
LITTLE BIT OF MY
TESTIMONY SO I'M NOT REPEATING
THE OTHERS AND ASK YOU TO FOCUS
ON TWO ISSUES.
ONE IS A PROCESS ISSUE.
ONE IS A POLICY ISSUE ON THE
PROCESS SIDE LET ME SUGGEST TO
THE COMMITTEE. THAT FIRST THE P.
YOU SEE HAS NO EXPERTISE IN THIS
FIELD OF REGULATION THEY HAVE
NEVER REGULATED THE INTERNET.
SECONDLY THE TYPE OF REGULATION
CONTEMPLATED IN THIS PARTICULAR
BILL.
WILL TAKE THE P. YOU SEE
MULTIPLE YEARS OF HEARINGS AND
PROCEEDINGS
TO TRY TO DETERMINE WHAT THE
RULES ARE TO LOOK LIKE. BY THEN
THE INTERNET YOU KNOW TODAY WILL
LOOK COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
IT WILL NOT ONLY WILL IT TAKE
YEARS BUT ONCE THAT IS DONE
THOSE REGULATIONS WILL BE
CHALLENGED BOTH BY FEDERAL
PREEMPTION AS WELL AS LITIGATION
SO PROCESS WISE. WERE ENTERING
THE SIGNIFICANT QUAGMIRE WHICH
WILL HURT THE CALIFORNIA
ECONOMY.
THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE POLICY.
IF WE LOOK AROUND CALIFORNIA
TODAY WE HAVEN'T INTERNET A
SECOND INTERNET REVOLUTION THAT
IS ALREADY UNDER WAY FIRST WE
ARE NOW SEEING GIGABIT SPEEDS IN
CALIFORNIA BEING DEPLOYED ACROSS
THE STATE.
THAT'S FIBER TO HOMES AND FIBER
TO BUSINESS.
SECOND YOU HEARD ABOUT THE FIVE
G. WIRELESS IS ON THE HORIZON
THAT IS GOING TO DELIVER SPEEDS
TO THE DEVICE IN YOUR POCKETS.
TEN TWO HUNDRED TIMES FASTER
THAN WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY.
THAT IS ALREADY BEGINNING TO
ROLL OUT AND BY TWENTY TWENTY IT
WILL BE AVAILABLE IN A VARIETY
OF FORMS FROM A VARIETY OF
COMPANIES.
AND THEN FINALLY.
WE'RE BEGINNING TO SEE THE
INTERNET OF THINGS TAKE HOLD IN
OUR SOCIETY AND THERE WERE GOING
TO DELIVER THE PROMISE OF SMART
CITIES.
TRAFFIC AND MANAGEMENT CONTROL
FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SMART
HOMES SMART APPLIANCES SMART
TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS AND. A
SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN
PUBLIC SAFETY IN LOCAL
GOVERNMENT.
SO WE HAVE A LOT A RICH THINGS
COMING TO CALIFORNIA AND IT'S
GOING TO BE OCCURRING WHILE
YOU'RE STILL IN OFFICE IN THE
NEXT COUPLE YEARS.
SO FOR THOSE REASONS WE WOULD
ARGUE REGULATING THE INTERNET AT
THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
WILL CREATE IN CALIFORNIA.
A COLLISION A COLLISION BETWEEN
DELAY AND EXPENSE OF
BUREAUCRACY.
WITH THE SPEED OF INNOVATION.
AND WE THINK THAT'S
COUNTERPRODUCTIVE SO MISTER
CHAIRMAN THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY WE WOULD
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST A NO VOTE
ON FOR SIXTY.
THANK.
WHEN MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
GREG HAYES WAS STRATEGIES THREE
SIXTY ON BEHALF OF TECHNET AYE
TECHNET AS OPPOSED TO THE BILL.
ARE LARGELY FOCUSED ON THE
REGIONAL JURISDICTIONAL ASPECT
OF THE BILL THANK YOU.
SOME OF THE COURT ON BEHALF OF
THE ELECTRONIC FRONTIER
FOUNDATION WE DON'T HAVE A
FORMAL POSITION ON THIS MEASURE
AS WE DO IN FACT SUPPORT STATES
APPROACH TO RESTORED NEUTRALITY
HOWEVER WE DO HAVE SERIOUS
CONCERNS.
ABOUT THE BILL AS WRITTEN ON AS
WELL AS THE RAPID SPEED AT WHICH
IT IS MOVING ON IT'S VERY RARE
THAT MISTER DEVINE AND I AGREE
ON MANY TALKING POINTS BUT
CERTAINLY WE DO AGREE WITH HIM.
AS TO HIS POINTS ON PROCESS
REGARDING THE P. YOU SEE.
AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT THE
PROTONS OFFICE AS WELL AS
SENATOR AYE WIENER WHO WE'VE
BEEN WORKING WITH FOR THE PAST
SEVERAL WEEKS ON THIS ISSUE
THANK YOU.

I AFFECT YOUR TO CHAIRMAN AND.
POINT A THANK GOD OF SENATOR
LEONE FOR.
FOR ABOUT SUPPORTING THAT
DETROIT IN CALIFORNIA AND FOR.
YOU BE PART OF WHAT I KNOW WILL
BE A GREAT.
TEAM EFFORT.
IN THE LEGISLATURE.
TO ACCOMPLISH.
SHARED GOAL THOUGH THAT. MANY
MANY OF US HAVE BEEN THAT IS TO.
DETECTIVE FREE AND OPEN INTERNET
ADDING IN CALIFORNIA OF COURSE
WE ALL ARE IDEALLY WOULD LIKE
ONE.
NATIONAL UNIFORM A STANDARD SET
BY THE FCC OR BY CONGRESS I
THINK EVERYONE AGREES ON THAT.
BUT IF THE IF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO ABDICATE
ITS RESPONSIBILITY OUGHT TO
PROTECT A FREE AND OPEN
INTERNET.
THAT WE'RE LEFT WITH NO CHOICE
THAN TO GO AND DO IT PA STATE BY
STATE.
AND.
IT'S WHAT I WOULD SAY TO THE
THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT TO SEE A
STATE BY STATE APPROACH. I WOULD
ENCOURAGE THEM TO. REVERSE HELP
REVERSE WHAT THE FCC ADJUSTED
AND BUT UNTIL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
GETS IT TOGETHER AND COMMITS TO
PROTECTING.
THIS.
EH VISIT A BIT. OF A DIFFERENT
OPEN INTERNET WHICH IS
ABSOLUTELY AT THE HEART OF
TWENTY FIRST CENTURY DEMOCRACY
AND COMMERCE IN INNOVATION.
WE HAVE TO DO IT AT THE STATE
LEVEL.
AND I'M REALLY THRILLED.
THAT THERE IS SO MUCH MOMENTUM
INCLUDING WHEN THE LEADERSHIP OF
OUR OF OUR BODY.
AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED AND THAT
IS THE AUTHOR OF KNOWLEDGE I
HAVE ABOUT A BILL THAT I CHOOSE
LAST WEEK. BY SBA TWENTY TWO WE
CAN WORKING WITH THE F. AFTER
WITH OTHERS WELL ON THAT BILL
YOU'RE COMMITTED TO A.
HOW THOROUGH?
VERY DETAILED STAKEHOLDER
PROCESS INCLUDING WORKING WITH
THE OPPONENTS WHO WANT TO WORK
WITH EVERYONE TO GET FEEDBACK.
FROM A BROAD VARIETY OF PEOPLE A
TO COME UP WITH A OUT OF A
COMPREHENSIVE BILL.
THAT WILL GET THE JOB DONE.
AND THAT IS ALSO LEGALLY
DEFENSIBLE.
WE KNOW THAT.
IT'S VERY COMPLICATED TO DO
THIS KIND OF BUILT STATE LEVEL
AND I THINK WHAT YOU'RE
SUPPORTER OPPONENT WE ALL
KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR. UNITY WE
THEIR THEIR COMPLEXITIES AND SO
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE.
GET IT RIGHT AND I THINK WE'RE
ALL COMMITTED.
TO DOING THAT STYLE AND SO ON I
DEFINITELY LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING OUT WITH THE AUTHOR AND
AND WITH OTHERS I WILL. I SAID I
AM EXPRESS IS
THE AUTHOR ARE DIRECTLY TIED
DOWN I DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT.
GIVING THE CPU SEE BOB BROUGHT
REGULATORY AUTHORITY.
TO IMPLEMENT.
AND ESTABLISH NET NEUTRALITY
AYE YOM AYE AYE. AYE ABSENT
SERIOUS RESERVATIONS ABOUT THAT.
AND.
IN PART BECAUSE I'M NOT
CONFIDENT THAT CPU CITY HAS THE
EXPERTISE TO DO THAT
EFFECTIVELY.
BUT IN ADDITION.
YOU KNOW TO SEE IF YOU SEE HAS
A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITIES AND.
THINGS DON'T ALWAYS MOVE
QUICKLY THEIR.
AND WITHOUT GETTING INTO WHY
THAT'S THE CASE IT'S IT'S BEEN
MY OBSERVATION I THINK IT'S NOT
A CONTROVERSIAL OBSERVATION. BY
AND SO I.
FRANKLY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF
CONFIDENCE THAT WE WOULD EVEN
SEE QUICK ACTION UNDER FOR THREE
BUT I I'LL BE ABOUT SENATE SEAT
POSITION OF NO ROLL. UP BUT TO
GIVE THE BROAD IMPLEMENTATION
ABOUT RULE TO SEE IF YOU SEE IN
MY VIEW IT'S NOT OF THE THE
IDEAL APPROACH.
UP WITH ALL THAT SAID I WILL BE
VOTING FOR THIS TODAY AND LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUING OUR
COLLABORATION.
BERRYHILL AG FAIR AND THE.
AND I TO GLOAT THE POTENTIAL.
THE ISSUE IN FOR THE SENATOR
WIENERS.
THOUGHTFULNESS AND IN
LEADERSHIP ON THE ISSUE BECAUSE
I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE A
SUPPORTIVE OF THE BASIC
PRINCIPLES AROUND THAT TO EXPAND
IT NEUTRALITY AND THE NEED.
BUT REALLY TO PROTECT.
I MEAN IT'S ALWAYS HEARTENING
TO HEAR ABOUT ALWAYS HEARTENING
TO SEE THE CABLE AND THE
CELLULAR COMMUNITY TOGETHER ON
SOMETHING.
BUT IT IT'S IT'S HEARTENING TO
SEE THAT.
THEIR COMMENTS I MEAN THEY THEY
THEY FEEL OR THEY MADE THE
STATEMENT AND.
I DON'T DOUBT THEM THAT THEY'RE
COMMITTED TO NET NEUTRALITY AND
THAT THEY WANT TO BUT I DO
BELIEVE WE NEED TO FOCUS ON. ON
HAVING SOME PARAMETERS IN PLACE
TO MAKE SURE AND GUARANTEE THAT
OF AND AND I THINK THAT THE
PRINCIPLES OF. ANY INTENT OF THE
BILL EXPRESSED ARE ARE. ARE
RIGHT THERE TO DO THAT HOWEVER I
DO HAVE CONCERNS IT'S SENATOR
WIENER MENTIONED.
.
WITH THE JURISDICTIONAL.
CHANGES PROPOSED IN THIS.
YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN TRYING TO
CHAMPION REFORMS IN THE P. YOU
SEE FOR MANY YEARS.
THE.
THEY SEEMED TO IN MANY CASES
LACK FOCUS THEY WERE DISTRACTED
BY A MYRIAD OF ISSUES.
AND IN UNDER THEIR JURISDICTION
IN WHICH YOU'VE HEARD MANY
PEOPLE HAVE SAID THEY'RE JUST
TOO BIG TO SUCCEED THE AND SOME
COMMISSIONERS HAVE MADE THAT.
THAT STATEMENT THE AND I AGREE
WITH IT AND THAT'S WHY YOU KNOW
IN THE LAST YEAR WE BECAUSE OF
THE CHALLENGES THAT THEY FACE
DIDN'T. AND THEIR STRAIN FROM
THEIR CORE RESPONSIBILITIES OF
SAFETY AND RELIABILITY.
THERE AND THEY WERE
UNDERSTAFFED AND ILL EQUIPPED TO
FACE THE MANY CATASTROPHES THAT
WERE IMPACTING THE STATE TO AT
SOMEONE TIME CHOI IS A PROACTIVE
APPROACH.
IN THE LAST YEAR WE.
PASSED LEGISLATION TO REMOVE TO
YOU SEE OVERSIGHT OF CERTAIN
TRANSPORTATION FUNCTIONS AND
SERVICES AND I THINK. THAT IS A
STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND
WE WERE THIS BILL ACTUALLY TAKES
IS IN THE WRONG DIRECTION WHEN
IT COMES TO THE JURISDICTION AND
FOR ADDING MORE RESPONSIBILITY
TO THE P. YOU SEE.
WE'RE DEALING NOW WITH THE FIRE
MAP THAT HAS TAKEN OVER TEN
YEARS.
SINCE THE.
THE WHICH FIRES IN IN SAN DIEGO
AREA. TO DEVELOP AND IT'S STILL
NOT COMPLETED AFTER THAT LENGTH
OF TIME SO I. I NATURALLY HAVE
CONCERN SO WHEN I SEE THE BILL
THAT GRANTS THE INORDINATE
AUTHORITY TO THE P. YOU SEE TO
TAKE. ON THOSE NEW
RESPONSIBILITIES ESPECIALLY ONE
AS BIG AS REGULATING THE
INTERNET AND AS.
THE LEGISLATURE AND THE
GOVERNOR.
MADE THIS STATEMENT A FEW YEARS
AGO THAT WE DIDN'T WANT THE
INTERNET AND WE DIDN'TWANT THE
P. YOU SEE TO BE INVOLVED IN AND
REGULATING THE INTERNET AND I
THINK THAT WAS A.
STATEMENT AT THE TIME AND I
STILL SUPPORT THAT STATEMENT SO.
I YOU KNOW I I AM GOING TO VOTE
FOR THE BILL TODAY BECAUSE I
THINK THE PRINCIPLES OF THEIR
BUT I HOPE WE CAN HAVE THE
CONVERSATION CONTINUE THAT
DISCUSSION.
OF.
OF BABY FINDING SOME OTHER
MANNER OF.
OF OVERSEEING THE SO I
APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP IDEA.
MR PRO TEM AND IT IS IT IS
ALWAYS AND THANK YOU FOR THAT
GROWTH OCCUR MUCH.
MISTER OF CENTER HILL AND INTO
THE CHAIR.
I DO WANT THEY CAN RECOGNIZE.
SOONER SCOTT WINNERS.
COMMENTS TIME AS WELL SEARS A.
AND SENATE HELP ASK QUESTIONS
NOSES COMMENTARY BECOME UNDONE
YOU SEE RESERVE YOUR COMMENT.
.
REMEMBER THE BUT YOU'RE GOING TO
SAY AND THEN IF YOU CAN ADD THAT
TO THE END OF YOUR CLOSING
COMMENTS.
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GET
THROUGH. WE GOT WOULD WE'RE
GOING TO COME TO US SENATE
SKINNER THEN CENTER MORALE. IF
YOU COULD HOLD ON TO THE.
AND THEN HERE BECAUSE I ACTUALLY
HAVE A QUESTION. AND APOLOGIES
IF.
SENATOR DAILY ON YOU ADDRESS
THIS IN YOUR OPENING WHICH I WAS
NOT ABLE TO BE PRESENT FOR IT
BUT.
SO JUST ON COMMENTARY OF WHAT
HAS BEEN SAID SO FAR. I HAVE A
LESS CONCERNED ABOUT THE
JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES BECAUSE.
BENEATH THE P. C. ACTUALLY IT'S
JURISDICTION ONLY ALRIGHT BUT I
AGREE WITH THE SENTIMENT ABOUT.
WHETHER.
GIVEN THEIR WORKLOAD AND.
STAFFING CAPACITY AND SUCH LIKE
THAT
WHETHER THIS IS SOMETHING THAT.
CAN REALLY BE TAKEN ON RIGHT NOW
AND SO MY QUESTION IS. WHY
COMPLETELY SUPPORT
THE MOVE TO HAVE CALIFORNIA?
BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
HAS NOW. ACTED TO ELIMINATE THE
NET CONTROL IN THE RULES THAT
WERE.
OVER AND AND NUMBER HERE
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS ADOPTED BY
THE FCC UNDER PAT PRESIDENT
OBAMA.
THAT
WE'RE NOW IN A SITUATION WHERE
THOSE WERE ELIMINATED SO I
SUPPORT.
IN FACT PUTTING AS MUCH AS WE
CAN AS A STATE PUTTING THOSE
RULES BACK INTO EFFECT FOR OUR
STATE.
AND AS I.
NOTICE THAT WITH THE.
CHAIRS AMENDMENTS
THE THERE'S TECHNICAL CHANGES TO
MAKE THIS BILL MORE CONSISTENT
WITH. OBAMA'S FCC RULES SO GIVEN
THAT GIVEN THAT THAT'S WHAT THE
INTENT.
OF THE STATUTE IS.
IF YOU COULD.
EXPOUND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT.
WHY AND? IF WE PUT THE RULES
INTO STATUTE.
I COULD LEAD THEN. RELY. UPON
THE AG.
AND DISTRICT ATTORNEYS FOR THAT
MATTER BECAUSE IT THERE IT'S
CERTAINLY THEIR DOMAIN ALSO WE
WOULD ONLY HAVE TO RELY ON. THE
AG ALONE.
TO ENFORCE
IF WE FIND THAT ANY INTERNET
SERVICE PROVIDERS VIOLATE THE
RULES RATHER THAN HAVING TO GO
THROUGH THE AT REGULATORY I
DEFIED. DEFERRED REGULATORY
PROCESS SO IF YOU COULD TALK
ABOUT THAT A LITTLE LUMIA TO DO
MY BEST TO TRY TO ADDRESS THAT.
THE THE THE QUESTION.
.
THE ANSWER IS YES.
WHO COULD THAT BE AN OPTION WITH
REGARDS TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY OR THE CITY
ATTORNEY THE AMPS THE ANSWER IS
ABSOLUTELY YES HOT PALM?
WOULD IT BE THE BEST OPTION I'M
I I DON'T KNOW I I YOU KNOW I
DON'T KNOW I'M CENTER SKINNER
FOR WOULD BE THE BEST OPTION
BECAUSE WE HAVE.
WE DO HAVE ONE ATTORNEY GENERAL
FOR CALIFORNIA A WE HAVE FIFTY
EIGHT DISTRICT ATTORNEYS AND I
DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CITY
ATTORNEYS WE HAVE. SOME.
SO I IT THE THAT WOULD POSE ITS
ITS CHALLENGES NO DOUBT AND AND
AND I THINK THAT IF WE WENT THAT
ROUTE THAT THINK THE OPPOSITION
WOULD PROBABLY BEEN. INCREASE
EVEN MORE SO OBJECTIVELY
SPEAKING BUT I DO WANT TO BE
OBJECTIVE ABOUT THIS I WOULD
SAY.
THAT COURT BE AN OPTION IS NO
QUESTION ABOUT IT YOU KNOW IF
YOU'RE NOT GONNA GO DOWN THE
ROUTE OF.
THE VP YOU SEE NAY HEAR THE
CONCERNS YOU KNOW FROM MY
COLLEAGUES AROUND THIS TABLE TO
CHRIST THE QCM NOT GOING TO BE.
AND APOLOGISTS OR ENABLER OR
PROTECTOR OF THE P. YOU SEE BUT
THE ONE THING THAT THAT THAT
THAT THAT THEY DO ONE UNDERSCORE
AND NO MAN AND I'M JUST GONNA
DEBATE A LITTLE BIT FROM. A.
BUT THE OPTION YOU BRING UP WITH
REGARDS TO ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
INSTRUCTOR ISN'T PRESUMABLY CITY
ATTORNEYS AS WELL. HE'S THAT
THERE'S NOTHING IN IN IN THIS
LEGISLATION.
SP FOUR SIXTY THAT OF GROUP
COMPOSES A HEAVY HAND OF
REGULATION.
BY THE QC AG I DO WANT TO
UNDERSCORE THAT IS.
IT DOESN'T TAKE THE FORM OF OF
TRADITIONAL RATE REGULATION FOR
EXAMPLE.
THE THAT WE DEAL WITH WITH THE
WITH THE UTILITIES OF WHAT THE
INVESTOR OWNED UTILITIES CIO
USE.
THE BILL SIMPLY TO RACKS THE P.
YOU SEE. UPON THIS SPECIFIC
AGENCY TO ESTABLISH A SERIES OF
NEW CONSUMER PROTECTIONS.
OBVIOUSLY WE'RE HERE TODAY
BECAUSE OF WHAT TOOK PLACE.
AT THE FCC AT THE NATIONAL
LEVEL FROM
CENTER SCOTT WINNERS COMMENTS
WITH REGARDS TO.
THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS
HIS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL IT'S AT
THE NATIONAL BE HAVE UNIFORMITY
IN TRANSPARENCY.
ACROSS THE NATION.
UNFORTUNATELY THE DECISION THAT
WAS MADE.
HAS PUT US INTO THIS POSITION.
FROM THOSE WHO OPPOSE THIS
MEASURE NOT ALL. NOT ALL BUT
THOSE WHO OPPOSE THIS MEASURE OR
ALSO IN WASHINGTON DC BUSY
LOBBYING TO.
.
DO DO YOU OBAMA FCC NET
NEUTRALITY A REGULATIONS
SOME OF THE FOLKS ARE HERE TODAY
AND OPPOSITION OF THAT MEASURE
TODAY AND OPPOSITION OF THIS ONE
TODAY. HOME AND HERE WE ARE.
AND WE DO HAVE STATES OF
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY SUCH AS
NEW YORK.
WASHINGTON STATE WHERE WE HAVE
A REPUBLICAN IN A BIPARTISAN
FASHION MOVING FORWARD A MEASURE
VERY SIMILAR TO THIS ONE I THINK
WE HAVE ROAD ISLAND. AS WELL AS
AND I DON'T KNOW WHO'S A
DEMOCRAT REPUBLICAN BUT WE HAVE.
A LEGISLATOR IN THE STATE OF
NEBRASKA.
UNICAMERAL BODY WHO'S MOVING
LEGISLATION
GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF STATES.
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY THIS IS
JUST.
THIS IS JUST THE
BEGINNING.
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING SO
HARM.
THAT IS AN OPTION I AM OPEN. TO
RECEIVING FEEDBACK FROM MY
COLLEAGUES AND JUST AWESOME
PARLEYS IS WORKING WITH THE
STAKEHOLDERS. FOR SUPPORT OF NET
NEUTRALITY AND THOSE WHO IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS MEASURE UP AS
WELL.
IF IT'S NOT THE P. YOU SEE IF
THERE'S ANOTHER AGENCY OUT THERE
THAT CAN DEVELOP YOU KNOW
CONSUMER PROTECTIONS WHETHER
IT'S ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE
OR ELSEWHERE.
I'M OPENED.
TO.
THE SUGGESTIONS AND COUNSEL BUT
FOR MY COLLEAGUES FROM BOTH
SIDES OF THE AISLE AS WELL AS A
STAKEHOLDERS WANTING TO HAS. IS
VERY CLEAR IT IS WE DO HAVE TO
PROVIDE THE NECESSARY
PROTECTIONS FOR OUR CONSUMERS
AND FOR BUSINESSES. PALM
IN I DO SAY THAT YOU KNOW
WHETHER IT'S ISSUE THROTTLING
WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOCKING
CONTENT SLOWING DOWN. YOU KNOW
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG IF IF WE
ALL AGREE ON THE SAME PAGE THAT
WE WE DON'T AGREE WITH THAT THE
NEWS NOTHING WRONG WITH COULD
FIND THIS A NOTE INTO LAW IT
SHOULD BE.
THE MISSION STATEMENTS
IN ON A WEBSITE BUT RATHER.
COULD INTO LASSOED STATUTORY SO
IN SHORT WITH REGARDS TO.
YOUR COMMENT CENTER SKINNER HIT
E. THE IS A VIABLE OPTION NO
DOUBT ABOUT.
VERY WELL SUMERU YES.
THANK YOU SENATOR PALM I JUST
WANNA MAKE A STATEMENT A COUPLE
OF A QUESTION FOR IT. I AGREE
WITH THE SENATOR HILL ON SENATOR
WIENER. BOMB YOU KNOW I QUESTION
THE P. YOU SEE HAS A SAID YOU
KNOW LACK OF EXPERIENCE STATE
BLACK FOCUS SAN. AND THEY'RE NOT
CAPABLE SO THAT'S JUST ONE.
BOB POINT I'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH
YOU BUT ALSO ARM.
YEAH.
I DON'T YOU KNOW.
I DON'T SEE.
WHERE THERE'S TOO BUT WHERE
THERE'S A PROBLEM HERE CAN YOU?
PINPOINT SOME WERE YOU SEE HOW
THIS IS WERE RAMPANT. YOU KNOW
HOW IT'S OUT OF CONTROL OR WHERE
THERE IS A LACK OF FREEDOM. IF
YOU COULD GIVE ME SOME CHRISTMAS
SPIRIT THE SOME SPECIFICS THAT
WOULD HELP ME AGAIN ALSO MY PIN
DESCRIBED RICHARD. THERE WAS A
GREAT DEAL OF EVIDENCE
SUBMITTED TO THE FCC DOCUMENTING
INSTANCES WHERE CONTENT WHAT WAS
INTERFERED WITH IN VARIOUS WAYS.
IT WAS MORE INSIDIOUS THAN
SAYING NO YOU CAN'T DO THIS IT
WAS SLOWING DOWN SPEEDS IT WAS
YOU KNOW ASKING FOR FINANCIAL
COMPENSATION. IT WAS TELLING
PEOPLE OKAY YOU CAN'T GET ON TO
NETFLIX BECAUSE ARE USING TOO
MUCH BAD WITH.
AND IT WAS IT BILLS WERE
ARBITRARY DECISIONS BY THESE
COMPANIES AND I DON'T HAVE EVERY
SINGLE EXAMPLE AT MY FINGERTIPS
BUT THERE WAS A VERY ROBUST
RECORD ON THIS.
THOSE WERE HARMS THAT DIDN'T
HAVE WHO HAVE THE RECORD ON THAT
SO I KNOW THE FEDERAL
COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION AND
ALSO THE DC CIRCUIT COURT OF
APPEALS WHICH UPHELD THE FCC'S
RULES. AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS
VERY GOOD REASON TO BELIEVE THAT
THESE HARMS WOULD TAKE PLACE.
AND IT'S BEEN JUST A COUPLE OF
MONTHS SINCE THE RULES WERE
REVERSED AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING
TO SEE IS NOT SOMETHING RIGHT
AWAY. BUT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME
ON FOR INSTANCES.
FCC COMMISSIONER CLIBURN POINTED
OUT IN HER DISSENT.
ONE OF THE MAJOR INTERNET
PROVIDERS IS ALREADY REMOVED A
STATEMENT FROM ITS WEBSITE
SAYING THAT IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE
IN THESE PRACTICES.
SO IT'S IT'S GOING TO BE AN
INSIDIOUS THING THAT TAKES PLACE
NOW.
IN THE REALITY IS IT'S LIGHT
TOUCH IS A EUPHEMISM FOR NO
TOUCH.
BECAUSE THE FTC HAS NO AUTHORITY
THAT THAT WE KNOW OF.
TO ADDRESS NON DISCRIMINATION
ISSUES
THEY COULD ADDRESS DISCLOSURE.
BUT THEY CAN'T SAY OKAY SOMEONE
HAS THROTTLED THEIR NETWORK OR
SOMEONE HAS SLOWED DOWN SPEEDS
LIBERALLY OR SOMEONE HAS
REQUIRED. PAYMENT IN ORDER TO
GET PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT THEY
THEY MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE THE
AUTHORITY TO DO THAT.
OKAY THANK YOU ONE LAST
QUESTION.
COSTS ON THIS.
TO IMPLEMENT THIS DO WE ARE WE
AT A PLACE WHERE WE WOULD KNOW
THAT YET.
SENATOR AGAIN BEYOND OF MISTER
VICE CHAIR OF THE NEEDS OF
BECAUSE I'VE NEVER HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DIGGING DEEP IN
THE WEEDS IN THE IN THAT
ANALYSIS RIGHT NOW.
SO RIGHT NOW I BELIEVE THEY'RE
NO COST
NO FOR THE P. YOU SEE.
IF WE GO DOWN THAT ROUTE OVER GO
DOWN ANOTHER ROUTE OF WITH THEM
TO DEVELOP.
SUMA PROTECTIONS THAT THIS
MEASURES TRYING TO DRESS AS WELL
OF COMMUNIST TRYING TO DRESS.
THANK YOU.
BECAUSE MUCH AS A CHAIR OR MAKE
MY COMMENTS BRIEF I'M.
ONE ALIGN MYSELF WITH A.
MANY WERE SPOKEN AND AT WITH THE
PRO TEM OF. THE IMPORTANCE OF A
FREE INTERNET BOMBED AND IT IS
STRICTLY A. KEY TO THE SUCCESS
OF OUR STATE OUR NATION AND I
THINK.
A PERSON THE NET NEUTRALITY.
WAS A MISTAKE FROM THE SEC'S
PART AND THEY'RE GONNA
EVENTUALLY BE ON THE WRONG SIDE
OF HISTORY AND WHAT WE ARE YOU
KNOW THEY'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE
OF PUBLIC OPINION RIGHT NOW.
NO MATTER IF YOU LIVE IN THE
CITY CALIFORNIA OR THE STATE OF
KENTUCKY.
IN WILL BE SUPPORT IN THIS BILL
TODAY BECAUSE IT IS ABSOLUTELY
IMPORTANT CALIFORNIA CONTINUES
TO LEAD ON THIS ISSUE.
A. LOT OF MAKE THIS VERY BRIEF.
THERE ARE. PRETTY SIGNIFICANT
CHALLENGES THE PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION FOUND IN ITS.
ONE OF THE MOST BUREAUCRATIC
THAT OF MOST BUREAUCRATIC
ORGANIZATIONS I'VE RUN INTO
THEIR MY TIME BEFORE HERE IN THE
SENATE ARE NOW.
I'M IN IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR
THE PUBLIC TO BE ABLE TO WORK
THROUGH THE CHALLENGES THAT ARE
PRESENTED AT THE PC AS WELL. BUT
WHAT I KNOW IS.
THE PROTEINS ALWAYS COMMITTED
THEIR WORK THROUGH AD THESE
CHALLENGES IN THIS BILL AND
WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT TODAY. IS
MOVING THIS BILL FORWARD. TO
ENSURE THAT CALIFORNIA NOT ONLY
ON THE RECORD BUT CONTINUED TO
PROTECT THAT FREE AND OPEN
INTERNET THAT CENTER WIENER HAS.
TALKED ABOUT THIS WELL YOU WANT
TO SAY THANK YOU BOTH FOR THE
PROTEIN FOR THE LEADERSHIP IN
THE SENATE SCOTT WIENER OF FOR
YOUR LEADERSHIP WELL. I KNOW
THAT THIS WILL BE A GREAT
DYNAMIC DUO AS HE BOTH IN FOR
JUST ONE TECHNIQUE IS PROTECT
THE COULD BRING THE BILL FORTY
THINKING SALINAS.
SENATORS.
YOU OF THIS PROJECT BECAUSE OF
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS ISSUE I
JUST WANTED TO.
BUT SHARE SOME THOUGHTS THAT I
HAVE HERE.
COURT OF FOR CODIFYING.
THIS IT THE METRO THE. IS
ESSENTIAL. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
TOOK ACTION STATES HAVE RIGHTS
TO MAKE DECISIONS IT'S DIFFICULT
FOR BUSINESS ON A NATIONAL
LEVEL.
THAT'S MANIFESTING ITSELF
BECAUSE THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT
IS MADE DECISIONS ALL ACROSS THE
BOARD IN MANY AREAS IN MANY
JURISDICTIONS.
TO.
MOVE AWAY FROM WHAT STATES
COUSIN TYPE. MOVE AWAY FROM WHAT
STATES WANTED TO DO YOU KNOW
THIS AND MANY OTHER CONTEXT
PARTICULARLY NEARBY MENTAL
CONTEXT SO IT IS SOMEWHAT
CHALLENGING BUT THIS IS THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHICH
IS.
THE STARTED WITH THE POWER OF
THE STATE'S GIVING UP CERTAIN
LIMITED JURISDICTION TO FROM
NATIONAL GOVERNMENT.
ENDS SO THE NOTION OF THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA AS RESULT OF YOUR
MEASURE TO CODIFY THE LAW
BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
CHANGED AND MOVED A DIFFERENT
DIRECTION IN MY JUDGMENT IS
EXACTLY THE RIGHT AN APPROPRIATE
THING TO DO.
THE THE THE THE ISSUE THAT I AM
HAPPY TO HELP THAT PUT SOME
EFFORT TO AND PUT SOME ELBOW
GREASE TO HELP YOU ON THIS. IS
THE PC.
EVERYONE KNOWS IN THE TESTIMONY
OF THE TIMES I'VE COME BACK TO
GOVERNMENT THAT I'M NOT A FAN.
NOT BECAUSE OF ANYTHING
INDIVIDUALLY AGAINST THEM AS THE
CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE
COMMISSION MOVES AT. GREAT
PERSON WHO'S BEEN AROUND FOR
THAT JERRY BROWN NUMBER ONE. YOU
KNOW I ASKED JERRY BROWN
QUESTION WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO
EXIST YOUR THE RAILROAD
COMMISSION HE WAS STARTED AS A
RAILROAD COMMISSION.
SOCIETY TODAY IS SO MUCH MORE
COMPLEX SO MUCH MORE DIFFERENT
DIFFICULT BUT IN MANY AREAS THAT
WORKING AT ITS DIFFICULT FOR
GOVERNMENT TO ACHIEVE ITS
DELIVERABLES ON THE ONE HAND.
AND YET HAVE GOVERNMENT ON THE
OTHER A DUE TO PROTECT CONSUMERS
YOU'VE INCLUDED THE AGA. I THINK
BY THE WAY JUST I APOLOGIZE
BECAUSE THIS IS THE WALKING
NATURE OF WHO I AM ITS FOREIGN
EIGHTY TWO CITY ATTORNEYS.
THE THE.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THAT.
WE GET SHOULD BE CREATIVE LET'S
COME UP WITH A WAY TO ACHIEVE
THE DELIVERABLE THAT YOU'RE
TRYING.
DID YOU TRYING TO DO BUT LET'S
FIGURE OUT A CREATIVE WAY AROUND
THAT.
TO INFER TO INFORM IN POWER TOOL
LINE INTERESTS IN A WAY THAT ON
THE ONE HAND MEETS THE PART
CONSUMER PROTECTIONS CLEARLY
STATUTORY YOU'RE PUTTING IN THE
LAW. AND TO PUT SEND THE
NECESSARY BALANCES HE THAT NEW
MODERN CALIFORNIA WHERE NOT ONLY
ARE WE DOING THIS BECAUSE WE'RE
STEPPING UP AS YOU'RE DOING IN
THIS MEASURE TO CODIFY. THAT
NEUTRALITY BUT WE'RE DOING IN
THE MOST ELEGANT AND BILLION WAY
POSSIBLE IT P. THAT REALLY
REFLECTS WHO CALIFORNIA'S SO
I'LL BE SUPPORTING IT I THINK
IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT TO A
PUBLIC POLICY AREA. BUT I'M JUST
DEEPLY CONCERNED OF THE IT AND
THE INSTITUTION THAT HAS VERY
DIFFERENT PURPOSES IN A VERY
DIFFERENT DYNAMIC OF WHERE WE'RE
AT. THANK YOU SIR.
BUT ON THIS.
WELL.
I.
.
GONNA HAVE A REAL HARD TIME
SUPPORTING HIS BILL I BELIEVE
IN.
FREE AND OPEN MARKETS.
I WITH A VICE CHAIRS QUESTIONS I
DIDN'T HEAR ANY REAL. TRUE
PROBLEMS THAT WERE ACTUALLY
HAPPENING AS FAR STARTLING AND
ALL THOSE THINGS. YOU KNOW MARK
TWAIN'S SAID I HAVE A LOT OF
WORRIES BUT MOST OF THEM WHICH
NEVER HAPPENED.
AND I THINK WERE PUSHING A BILL
WHERE WE REALLY DON'T HAVE AN
ISSUE YET.
WE'RE JUMPING AND WAY TOO SOON.
WE DO HAVE INCREDIBLE
COMPETITION IN THESE MARKETS.
LEARNED OF THE ONE THE ONE.
ANSWER.
WAS GIVEN FROM. DOWN HERE A.
BUT THERE WERE SOME THOUGHT A
LEADER SO THEY ARE A TEXAN OFF
THE INTERNET BUT I KNOW WE'RE
NOT GONNA REGULATE SANDWICH
SHOPS.
BECAUSE THEY SLOWED SOME DOWN
I'M GOING TO GO TO THE OTHER
SANDWICH SHOP.
I WON EFFICIENCY I WANT A GOOD
MARKET. AND I. I THINK
REGULATING ANYTHING IS ARE YOU
GOING TO THE EXACT OPPOSITE.
YOU'RE GOING TO RAISE COSTS. THE
P. YOU SEE IS NOT READY FOR THIS
THE TECHNOLOGY WILL BE NINE
TIMES.
PASTOR.
MOVING.
SO THAT WE HAVE EVEN IMAGINED.
AND THEY'RE STILL DOING WITH A
TELEPHONE POLE. THEY ARE NOT
READY FOR THIS.
NOBODY IS READY FOR THIS WE HAVE
A AWESOME MARKET TODAY AND
THINGS ARE WORKING. AND SO FOR
THAT I CANNOT SUPPORT THE BILL
TODAY.
THANKS VERY MUCH IS ONE TO
CLARIFY AND THEN WE'LL GET TO.
YOUR CLOSING COMMENTS BUT.
YOU KNOW I I THINK THAT THE
PEACE YOU SEE THAT LITTLE BIT
BEAT UP TODAY AND I AM I COME
OUT. SOMEWHAT TO THEIR DEFENSE.
IN THAT ANYTIME YOU DEMOCRATIZE.
REGULATORY PROCESS IT'S GOING
TO TAKE TIME NOBODY NOBODY WHO
CRITICIZE THE FCC.
THEY'RE ALSO REGULATORY AGENCY
THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE
SITUATION.
I MEAN.
IT IS TAKEN YEARS AND YEARS OF
COLLECTING PUBLIC TESTIMONY
UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM THEY
COME UP WITH THE RULING A NEW
PRESIDENT COMES AND IT SITES I'M
GONNA.
THE ARBITRARILY CHANGE THIS RULE
BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE THE
DECISION THEY COME UP WITH.
WE KNOW THAT'S JUST JUST THE WAY
THINGS WORK IN GOVERNMENT I MEAN
THERE I NO.
IT YOU KNOW REGULAR THE
REGULATORY PROCESS CAN BE
LENGTHY PEOPLE OFTEN WANT
IMMEDIATE SOLUTIONS BUT LOOK AT
OUR OWN JUDICIAL SYSTEM.
NOBODY'S GETTING IMMEDIATE
SOLUTIONS IN OUR JUNIOR JUDICIAL
SYSTEM WHY BECAUSE IT'S
IMPROPERLY FUNDED.
THE P. YOU SEE HAS EVOLVED OVER
YEARS BUT IT HAS YOU KNOW THEY
CAN THEY CAN ARGUE WERE NOT
PROPERLY FUNDED WE DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH PEOPLE TO INSPECT. ALL
THE POLLS IN THE IN THE STATE IN
ALL THE RAIL LINES IN THE STATE
WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE MANPOWER.
TO TO DO OUR REGULAR TOUCH TERRY
FUNCTION APPROPRIATELY THAT'S
JUST THAT. YOU KNOW IF THE
COURTS ARE WORKING PROPERLY WERE
PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE THE
LEGISLATURE INCIPIO SEE. IF THE
P. YOU SEE ISN'T WORKING
PROPERLY WERE ALSO PARTIALLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT.
BUT IT ADDS AT SOME LEVEL.
YOU KNOW I I CAN SAY VERY
CLEARLY THAT I SUPPORT
CAPITALISM.
I SUPPORT CAPITALIST MARKETS BUT
I SUPPORT REGULATED CAPITALIST
MARKETS BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND AS
I THINK MANY PEOPLE IN OUR
COUNTRY HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND.
OVER THE COURSE OF HISTORY THAT
WHAT WITHOUT REGULATION
CAPITALISM LEADS TO MONOPOLIES.
AND I THINK THERE'S A VERY
IMPORTANT POLICIES THAT ARE
TAKING PLACE ARE COUNTING FOR
THE FACT.
THAT.
OVER YEARS OF YOU KNOW.
WE HAVE NOW COME TO UNDERSTAND
THE INTERNET NOW WHAT'S WORKING
AND THERE REALLY ISN'T A BODY OF
REGULATION AROUND THE INTERNET.
THAT IS REALLY TAKING FOOTHOLD
AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE THOSE
THAT THAT ENJOY.
HOW DO YOUKNOW OF UNFETTERED
CONTROL THE INTERNET THAT WANT
TO MAINTAIN THAT?
AND THEY'RE GONNA BE A WHAT'S
GOOD FOR THE PUBLIC AND WHAT'S
GOOD FOR A YOU KNOW WHAT
BENEFITS THE PUBLIC AND THERE IS
NO DOUBT THAT WE'RE ALL ARGUING.
THAT WE WANT A FREE AND OPEN
INTERNET.
THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE
APPROPRIATE POLICY.
AND THE FCC WENT THROUGH THEIR
PROCESS THE THEY THEY IDENTIFIED
THE PROBLEM THE GATHERED INPUT
THEY WENT TO A VERY LENGTHY
PROCESS THAT WAS. THAT WENT
THROUGH THE SAME KIND OF
LAWSUITS THAT FOR THE FIELD P.
YOU SEE FACES.
FOR THE OF THE SAME KIND OF
DELIBERATION AND THEY CAME UP
THEIR SET OF REGULATIONS THAT
SOUGHT TO. OPEN UP THE INTERNET
AND THOSE WERE REVERSED.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHY. WE'RE
GENERALLY HERE TODAY BECAUSE
THERE'S A GENERAL UNDERSTANDING.
THAT THAT THERE ARE THERE'S A
CERTAIN PATH THAT WE HAVE TO GO
TO TO OPEN UP THE INTERNET I
THINK WE'RE TENDED TO DO THAT I
JUST WANNA.
APPLIED A THE THE YOU KNOW THE
PROTEST AND FIRST FOR TAKING
THIS ISSUE WANT TO ELEVATE IN
THIS DEBATE.
TO.
CREATING AWARENESS AROUND THIS
ISSUE BECAUSE REALLY I MEAN
HONESTLY.
I EVERYTHING WE DO EVERY SINGLE
DAY OF THE INTERNET IS IN OUR
SCHOOLS TO THE INTERNET IS IN
OUR RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS. THE
RELIGIOUS.
YOU KNOW THAT THE INTERNET IS
IS IS REACHING EVERYONE'S LIVES
IN EVERY SINGLE THING THAT THEY
DO.
AND IF WE START TO SEE US
CERTAIN CONTROLS THAT ONLY
BENEFIT A VERY SELECT FEW.
AND THAT PATH KERR PEOPLE'S
ACCESS TO THE INTERNET EVERYBODY
WILL LOOSE.
HE IN THE LONG RUN EVEN THOSE
THAT ENJOY THE PRIVILEGES OF OF
OF.
UNFETTERED CONTROL OF THE
INTERNET WILL LOSE IN THE END
AND LONG RUN SO.
YOU KNOW.
THIS IS GOING TO BE.
.
ON GOING DEBATE AND I KNOW YOUR
YOUR BILL. IS GONNA BE.
.
BOB YOU KNOW GOING THROUGH THIS
PROCESS AND I'M I'M ONLY SPORT
COULD WIN FORWARD. AND.
CONTINUE WORKING ON THIS AND.
CONTINUE DEBATING THISAND AND
HOPEFULLY WE CAN ENTERTAIN A
MOTION TO THE BEST BILL FOR WHAT
THE ULTIMATE AMENDMENTS HAVE
BEEN PROPOSED.
IN THE STAFF ANALYSIS. NOT OCCUR
WIENER DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING UP
YET THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN I
JUST WANTED TO. THANK YOU FOR
YOUR COMMENTS OF FOR VERY
THOUGHTFUL APPRECIATE THAT. I DO
WANNA JUST.
JUST RESPOND A COUPLE COMMENTS
ARE MADE FROM.
COLORS ACROSS THE AISLE.
I'M IT IN TERMS OF.
BUT CENTER MORALES QUESTION
ABOUT HAS THIS BEEN HAPPENING
OUT WE GO THERE HAVE BEEN
EXAMPLES OF IT. HAPPENING.
HOWEVER IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE
PAST ABOUT THE FUTURE AND WE
KNOW THAT.
NEAR IN TALKING TO THE INTERNET
SERVICE PROVIDER THEY'LL SAY WE
HAVE NOT MATURE WE ARE WORTH
HEARING THE ACTUALITY WE HAVE AN
INTERNAL VOLUNTARY POLICIES.
ADOPTING THE NEUTRALITY WE HAVE
NO DESIRE TO THROTTLE OR SLOW OR
HAVE A FAST LANE WE'RE NOT GONNA
DO IT.
AND THAT'S GREAT THAT'S GREAT
AND IN THAT CASE THERE SHOULD BE
AN OBJECTION TO SIMPLY PUTTINGA
AND TO THE LAW PUTTING THE P.
YOU SEE PART ASIDE. TO SAYING
THIS IS THE LAW YOU'RE SAYING
YOU WANT TO DO THIS YOU'RE
SAYING YOU'RE ALREADY DOING IT
YOURSELF YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO
DEVIATE FROM THAT.
SO LET'S JUST PUT IT HIGH INTO
LAW.
MY CONCERN IS THAT WHATEVER THE
INTENTIONS OF THE ISPS TODAY. IS
THAT WE KNOW THAT BECAUSE IT A
LARGELY PUBLICLY TRADED
COMPANIES THAT ARE YOU KNOW
ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR
SHAREHOLDERS AND WALL STREET FOR
THEIR PROFITS. I BELIEVE THERE
WILL BE INTENSE PRESSURE OVER
TIME TO START CHARGING FOR A
FAST LANE.
AND MAYBE IN MAY START OUT WITH
JUST LIKE NOT THAT NETFLIX IN
GOOGLE BUT ULTIMATELY IT WILL
EXPAND.
TO TRY TO MAXIMIZE OUR PROFITS
THOUGHT CRITICISM ABOUT INLAND
THAT IT'S JUST THE NATURE OF OF
OF CAPITALISM WHEN IT'S.
BUT IT'S NOT REGULATED POSSIBLE
IT WINNER AND I'M VERY SORRY MEN
INTERRUPT YOU BECAUSE WHERE I I
THOUGHT WE'D COME TO THE END BUT
WE I DID HAVE.
CENTER BRADFORD ON THE LISTEN I
COMPLETELY BYPASSED OKAY WE
JUST.
I'M JUST ABOUT DONE OKAY DEMO.
BUT.
ABOUT MY POLITICS CENTER
PROPERLY.
.
AND THAT I LIVE BY JUST ONE.
CERTAIN TERMS OF CENTER VIDAK
SAW A COMMENT.
DE YOU KNOW. VISIT IN THE SAME
OF SANDWICH SHOPS ARE OF THIS IS
NOT EXACTLY THE MOST EFFICIENT
ARE. FREE AND OPEN MARKET EVEN A
PLACE LIKE SAN FRANCISCO WHICH
WOULD PROBABLY MORE OPTIONS THE
MOST PLACES WE DON'T HAVE THAT
MANY OPTIONS WHEN YOU GET INTO.
SOME RURAL AREAS AND OTHER AREAS
THERE IS OFTEN ONE OPTION SO I
DON'T. I DON'T.
WHO THINK THAT IT'S THAT THE
TYPE OF MARKET WHERE YOU TO SORT
OF POP AROUND PROVIDES P. DíAS
P.? IF SOMEONE STARTS THROTTLING
SO I JUST THINK IT'S DIFFERENT
ADULTS CALL OUT FOR MORE
REGULATION.
I'M CHUCK I'M HERE AND I THINK
MY COLLEAGUES FOR THEIR
COMMENTARY AS WELL AS I THINK
THE PROGRAM FOR THIS MEASURE.
AND I THINK WE WOULD ALL AGREE
THERE WERE ALL INCOME THE COURT
THAT. THE INTERNET NEEDS TO BE
REGULATED IT NEEDS TO BE BUT WE
ALL BELIEVE IN A FREE AND OPEN.
INTERNET AYE I THINK WAR I HAVE
HEARTBURN WORD MEAN FOLKS HAVE
AT HEART BURNISH.
IT IS TO PC THE CORRECT AGENCY
FOR OVERSIGHT. AND AND NOT THE
BASS TO PC BUT IT ARE THEY THE
BEST IN ALMOST EQUIPPED TO.
PROVIDE TO TOPPLE OVERSIGHT THAT
NOW WE NEED IN ORDER TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE PROTECT OUR OF FREE
ENTERPRISE AND OPEN INTERNET.
I'M JUST QUESTIONING IF THIS
RUNS IN CONFLICT AS TO BE ELEVEN
SIXTY ONE THAT WE PASSED IN TWO
THOUSAND TWELVE WHICH STATED WE
THEN WANT TO ᮭYOU SEE
INVOLVED.
IN MANAGING THE OVERSIGHT
OVERSIGHT WITH THE INTERNET AND
IS IT BETTER TO JUST STAB AG AND
SET UP THE GUIDELINES IN THOSE.
REGULATORY GUIDELINES.
ELECT AG DEAL WITH THAT BUT
MORE IMPORTANTLY SHOULD IT
BECOME BACK.
IF THOSE GUIDELINES ARE DESIGNED
SHOULD THE LEGISLATURE HAVE
FINAL OVERSIGHT I THINK I WOULD
FEEL A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE IF
YOU.
PUNTED BACK TO US AND LET US
DECIDE IT YOU HAD.
WHAT'S RIGHT AND WHAT'S WRONG
THEIR SHOW ON THAT WOULD BE MY
SUGGESTION THAT OBAMA WE NEED TO
DO NOT A HOT.
YOU SIR ARE AUTHORITY AND ON
BEHALF I HANDED OVER TO THE PC.
OKAY SO I'M.
DID YOU WANNA MAKE YOUR CLOSING
COMMENTS TO RESPOND TO THAT DID
DID U. S. QUESTION SOUND LIKE A
QUESTION ME.
BUT I'D BE OPEN AT TWO AND A TO
MISTER BRADFORD SO.
SUGGESTION OBVIOUSLY BUT I WANT
TO GET THE FEEDBACK FROM ALL OF
YOU IT'S GOOD IT'S VERY CLEAR IN
THE CAN ALREADY SENSE WITH
REGARDS TO THE PC NOT EVERYONE
MAY FEEL THAT WAY. BUT WE DO
NEED YOU KNOW.
SOME AGENCY SOMEBODY YOU KNOW
TO COME UP WITH THE NECESSARY
CONSUMER PROTECTIONS OF THAT
ARE.
PASS FOR A BUT BELIEVE BY BY BY
ALL CALIFORNIANS NAM LEUKEMIA
JUST CONCLUDE VERY QUICKLY.
.
THE THE MISTER CHAIR BOMB AYE
AND WANT TO TAKE YOU KNOW THE
VAST MAJORITY OF IF NOT ALL OF
YOUR COMMENTS SAYS AS MY CLOSING
STATEMENT I WANT TO THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
BUT PRESENCE MEASURE THIS IS A
VERY GOOD FEEDBACK OUT FROM EACH
AND EVERYONE OF YOU I THINK
THERE IS BY FAR LARGE.
OVERALL CONCURRENCE THAT.
WE DO HAVE TO.
DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE.
SOONER RATHER THAN LATER GIVEN
THE FACT THAT THE OBAMA.
.
PARA NET NEUTRALITY LAWS THAT
WERE ONLY IN THE FCT FOR TWO
YEARS HAVE NOW BEEN THE VISSER
RATED ALTOGETHER. THERE'S A
REASON WHY WE'RE HERE AND
THERE'S A REASON WHY SO MANY
STATES ARE MOVING FORWARD. IT
DOES COMPLICATE THIS WITHOUT A
DOUBT FRIES SPEAKS ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY OTHER STAKEHOLDERS
BUT THAT IS THE RESULT OF.
I'M DOING THIS NATIONAL FEDERAL.
REGULATION.
BY I DO ONE SIX ONE LAST THING.
.
HE'S IS.
AS WE HAVE DEALT WITH AND I KNOW
THERE'S GONNA BE.
UP PARTISAN.
NOT A DIFFERENCE.
AS WE DO WITH THE THE CURRENT
ADMINISTRATION AND A WHOLE
VARIETY OF ISSUES.
FROM WHAT THEIR IT'S THE ISSUE
OF OF DREAMERS WAS ISSUE OF THE
ENVIRONMENT. WHERE THERE'S THE
ISSUE OF CLIMATE CHANGE WITH
THAT SITUATION IMMIGRATION OR
UNTIL RECENTLY TAXES?
THIS STATE BOO THIS GREAT STATE
THE GREATEST STATE IN THE
COUNTRY HAS ALWAYS GONE ITS OWN
PATHWAY WHEN IT BELIEVES HASSLE
STEP STEP UP.
AND THEN PROTECT THE THE PEOPLE
OF CALIFORNIA.
SO THE ISSUE WITH REGARDS TO.
.
YEAH I'M SURE AND THEN THE
WEATHER THE EPS IT IS IT IS
ACCURATE THAT THE THAT THE FCC.
ORDER. HAS LANGUAGE THAT IT'S
ASSERTS PREEMPTION.
OF OUR OWN STATE LAWS THERE'S NO
QUESTION ABOUT IT. A BUT THERE
IS NO FEDERAL LAW.
THE REASON OF FEDERAL LAW HAS NO
STATUTORY LAW IN CONGRESS. FOR A
FINAL COURT DECISION.
BUT ACTUALLY ADDRESSES THIS
ISSUE SPECIFICALLY THAT'S WHAT
WE HAVE COURTS.
IF WE GET THIS MEASURE ANOTHER
MEASURE WHATEVER THAT
COMBINATION THAT MEASURE IS IN
THE NEAR FUTURE.
THIS IS GONNA BE LITIGATED NO
DOUBT ABOUT IT AND THIS IS WHY
WE HAVE THE COURTS TO MAKE THAT
FINAL.
DECISION.
JUST LIKE WE'VE TAKEN.
MATTERS INTO OUR OWN HANDS WITH
REGARDS TO AGAIN THE ENVIRONMENT
CLIMATE CHANGE WHEN THE.
PRESIDENT PULLED OUT OF PARIS
ACCORDS OF TWENTY FIFTEEN
CALIFORNIA MOVES FORWARD. YOU
KNOW THE THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS.
THREATENED TO DEPORT IMMIGRANTS
AND DREAMERS CALIFORNIA THROUGH
THIS LEGISLATIVE BODY HAS MOVED
FOR TO PROTECT THEM.
NOW THEY HAVE REVOKED THE
AUTHORITY I SHOULD SAY THATTHE
AUTHORITY BUT THEY HAVE
RESCINDED THE OBAMA AIRONET
TROLLEY LOTS OF TWENTY FIFTEEN.
WHAT IS CALIFORNIA DOING AGAIN
TAKEN THE BULL BY THE HORNS AND
MOVING FOR TO PROTECT THE
CONSUMERS TO ENSURE THAT THE
INTERNET SPACE IS A FREE OPEN
EGALITARIAN SPACE? THAT IS OPEN
FOR ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE AND
IDEAS AND PRODUCTS TO
SWIMMERS SECOND PURCHASE
SOLD IN AND BOUGHT WOULD HAVE
EXCITED WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE.
I DO WANT TO GIVE MY COMMITMENT
TO THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE
STAKEHOLDERS HERE I IN
OPPOSITION TO THE MEASURE THAT
