Wired for the future.

This week, Ben and Dave sit down with N2K's Lead Analyst, Ethan Cook, to discuss the 21st annual State of the Net conference. This conference is a series of roundtable panels and interviews where industry experts and lawmakers meet to discuss the most pressing challenges facing the technology environment today. Throughout this conversation, our team breaks down AI, electricity grid stability, and media mergers. We also have some follow up from a friend of the show and former federal law enforcement officer, who notes that administrative subpoenas can provide quick, lawful wins without overburdening courts, but cautions that the full story is always more nuanced than it first appears.

While this show covers legal topics, and Ben is a lawyer, the views expressed do not constitute legal advice. For official legal advice on any of the topics we cover, please contact your attorney.
