,mr4 ,latta submitted the following     
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,energy and ,commerce     
,,resolution  ,expressing the sense of  
the ,house of ,representatives that in  
order to continue aggressive growth in  
the ,nation's telecommunications and    
technology industries1 the ,united      
,states ,government should ,get ,out of 
the ,way and ,stay ,out of the ,way4    
,whereas the technology and             
communications industries in the ,united
 ,states have historically been some of 
the most competitive in the world and   
devoid of burdensome ,government        
regulations2 ,whereas the ,united       
,states has over #he1jjj1jjj wireline   
broadband connections2 ,whereas wireless
 auctions are the reason the ,united    
,states has over #bce1jjj1jjj wireless  
broadband connections2 ,whereas         
public-private partnerships1 like those 

piloted by organizations such as        
,connected ,nation1 have raised         
broadband subscription rates1 especially
 in rural areas1 by increasing both     
broadband supply and demand without     
having to rely on regulation2 ,whereas  
deregulatory policies and free-market   
competition consistently yield a higher 
rate of economic growth1 a greater      
standard of living for all ,americans1  
and an enhanced capacity for the ,united
 ,states to be competitive in the global
 marketplace2 ,whereas the digital age  
not only expands an individual's reach  
and ability to connect with family and  
friends1 provides new and exciting      
educational opportunities1 and expands a
 growing global economy1 while          
simultaneously exposing an individual to
 a myriad of new threats such as        
identity theft and other methods of     
online victimization1 and resulting in  
the increase of attempted criminal cyber
 attacks on businesses and              
communications networks2 and ,whereas we

 should continually strive to advance   
this rapidly growing source of social   
and economic benefit to the ,nation3    
,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that it is the 
sense of the ,house of ,representatives 
that in order to continue aggressive    
growth in the ,nation's                 
telecommunications and technology       
industries1 the ,united ,states         
,government should 8,get ,out of the    
,way and ,stay ,out of the ,way0 by--
