QUOTABLE
“As a company, we’re now agnostic when it comes to linear television and digital television, or digital content. We manage them together and holistically. We will continue to obviously improve what we’re offering sports fans. We believe that this will contribute nicely to ESPN’s bottom line over time as engagement grows, for instance. But we don’t feel that the way to measure this is immediate, nor do we feel that the way to measure this is in just subscribers.”
– Disney CEO Bob Iger on ESPN during an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street”

I love it when a policymaker is game to roll up their sleeves in the field to really understand how rural #broadband is deployed like @OliviaTrustyFCC did in Alaska this week with @CNOConnor and @NTCAconnect providers. #BroadbandBuiltToLast pic.twitter.com/QssjE27HN1
