I personally promised these families that I would make this issue my cause.

I'm not trying to draw you into this legislative discussion that we're having, but I would like your thoughts on the carrot versus the stick approach, if you have a preference on how that would be structured.

I appreciate you inviting me to your Distracted Driving Summit. I thought that was very useful and I think the people there got a lot out of it.

I hope you will give clarification to the industry and to interested parties on what you mean by 'open network.'
