It's such an important time with respect to communications. Our communications infrastructure is increasingly essential to the daily lives of every American. It's how we communicate with each other. It's how we work in our businesses. It's how we participate in our government. It's how we create jobs and contribute to economic growth. I see our communications infrastructure as our platform for innovation and opportunity for the 21st century, and that's what really drives what we're trying to accomplish at the FCC of course, because the FCC is the federal agency that has to deal with this landscape. At the highest level our goals are, one, to promote investment throughout the communications eco-system, two, to promote innovation and thereby promote global competitiveness of the United States, three, to promote competition because that's how we'll get the most innovation and investment, and four, to protect and empower consumers.

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski discusses universal broadband, spectrum policy, net neutrality, indecency and media ownership rules on CSPAN’s ‘The Communicators.’
