The situation we have today is under our current rules, and those rules have been in place for so long, they haven't worked.
I strongly believe that the Commission must be willing to step in to aggressively use authority provided by Congress to preempt these regulatory barriers.
I have also made the point that it is not just incentives; we need the carrot and the stick.
