DANA PERINO (HOST): I'm so glad to have you here because I've admired you for so long about many things. I know that net neutrality is an important issue and that many on the left and the Democrats think this one of the most important issues. I look at polls, often in the top five. And I got to ask you why? And secondly, what is the practical effect of the action you're taking today on somebody -- anybody in this room that would be searching on the internet? 

AJIT PAI (FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION CHAIRMAN): Well the bottom line for consumers going forward is that the internet is going to be better than ever. We're going to see better, faster, cheaper internet access for people who for too long have been on the wrong side of the digital divide. We're going to see new applications and services go forward to benefit consumers. So, I think a lot of the fears that politicians and activists have been putting out there are going to be proven to be misinformed.
