I do not support returning the Fairness Doctrine.

I think the challenge going forward is making sure that the revenue base is strong enough to support the type of universal service reforms.

I think it's incumbent on the Federal Government to constantly be assessing how it's allocated, how it's assigned, and how it's used.

I do not believe all the requirements of Title II of the Communications Act should apply to all new services.

I believe the FCC is blessed to have a staff of uncommon skill.
