Wild that most TV time in USA is still legacy linear. Stream team needs to up its game. @jasonkilar we need you on the board too. https://t.co/POItlelpdc

Legislating on big issues is hard. This development should be good news for reasonable broadband spending and policy — especially those unserved today! Rougher ideas and wishlists likely will be tempered by realism and soundness. https://t.co/Iwz1t2UAmg

Quotable
“It’s a tough job. The movie industry is dog-eat-dog, hyper competitive. The average movie cost to make it and market it is anywhere between $50-$150 million dollars. And you can spend all that money and in one weekend you blow it away. Therefore it’s highly competitive and raw, and can be a lot meaner than politics. But I also met some of the most interesting people and terrific leaders… My job didn’t involve me being with a lot of celebrities. I was with them on occasion. I was more on the business side and lobbying for tax or trade or anti-censorship types of things. But it was fun. I do have to tell you going on the red carpet, I would do that at times with my wife, I would think to myself, ‘here’s the grandson of a guy from Belarus who ended up on the red carpet. Isn’t that something?’”
