Robert Scoble

 

Discussion with Robert Scoble

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Just met with Robert Scoble of fast company.tv . . . fun to meet with one of the leading bloggers in the tech sphere, and we both agreed that more conversations between those of us who do Washington policy work and those who do (and write about) technology should take place.  We covered the usual suspects . . . net neutrality, media and first amendment issues etc.  And we talked about how technology has changed, not just since we were teenagers but in the last five years, and what’s coming down the road.  My basic pitch:  the trend of the last 10 years is that consumers have more competition and more choice than ever before, and it is not likely that trend would continue with more government regulation.
