Hi and welcome back to TPI’s podcast, Two Think Minimum. It's Thursday, June 7th, 2018, and I'm TPI Research Fellow, Sarah Oh. Today we're excited to talk with two of the most knowledgeable journalists covering telecom policy, Jonathan Make and David Kaut, from Communications Daily. Jonathan is the editor of Communications Daily and in his spare time is president of the Society of Professional Journalists DC Pro Chapter. He has covered media, business and policy for most of his journalism career. He blogs at medium.com/@makeJDM and tweets @makejdm. David Kaut has been senior editor/reporter at Communications Daily since May of 2015. Before that he was a communications policy analyst at Legg Mason and Stifel Nicolaus from 2001 to 2014 and the telecom media beat reporter at BNA Daily Report for Executives from 1996 to 2001. I am joined today by Scott Wallsten, TPI Senior Fellow and President who will start off our conversation on the never ending story, net neutrality, and the related continuing resolution in Congress and whether Congress will ever get to bipartisan legislation.
Today we have with us Rob Pegoraro, who is a tech journalist of long standing in the DC area and has been covering technology and the intersection of technology and politics, for close to about 20 years now, if not longer. We're happy to have him with us, given that he's one of Washingtonian’s Tech Titans from 2015 to 2017. He would be the perfect guest to have in to talk about the evolution of tech in DC over the past 10 years because TPI is also celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
Today we continue our conversation with special guest, Professor Thomas Hazlett. Professor Hazlett is the H.H. Macauley Endowed Professor of Economics at Clemson University. He will talk about his book, The Political Spectrum: The Tumultuous Liberation of Wireless Technology, from Herbert Hoover to the Smartphone, published by Yale University Press.
