Seems to me in this hearing we are talking about this consumer right to know. I find it interesting, this is on an issue where everyone has acknowledged there is no health or safety risk here.
If you are in an area where 50 percent have access to broadband and 50 percent don't, you say, well, too bad for that 50 who don't.
If the United States leads in that opportunity and develops that technology here, I think that that may have the impact globally over time.
