[bestbits] New podcast series on the big questions facing the digital environment

Thu Jan 18 07:49:51 EST 2018

Dear all,

The latest episode of In Beta, "*Should the tech giants of Silicon Valley
be broken up?*" is out. Please find more information about it below:

*In 1982, the Bell telecommunications monopoly in the US was broken up
after a landmark antitrust suit, ushering in a wave of innovation and
competition.Today, companies like Alphabet and Facebook are capturing an
unprecedented – and increasing – share of the world’s attention. Should we
be thinking about breaking them up, too? In episode 8 of GPD's flagship
podcast series, In beta, GPD's Executive Director Charles Bradley poses
this question to Gene Kimmelman of Public Knowledge.*

You can listen to it here:

Best
Sheetal.
