Net Neutrality Finally Getting Non-Valley Attention

I've done about 60 radio interviews in the last few months, and increasingly when it's a call-in show I get a question about Net Neutrality-- a topic deemed utterly wonky and boring just a year ago that is starting to get national, consumer attention. Chris Sacca's eyes lit up when I told him that. "Isn't it cool people are talking about it?" he said, like a kid on Christmas morning.

The Ex-Googler (or Xoogler as they're called here in the Valley...yeah, I know) has turned jet-setting, iron man-running gadfly crossed with budding angel investor. He's also got some other top secret stuff going on that he won't fill me in on. But through all of those roles, Net Neutrality has been a big issue for him. So I asked him to come by Tech Ticker HQ to fill us in on the issue. These clips are probably "Yeah, duh!" for most of my astute techie readers, but if you're one of those people who hears the words thrown around and feel dumb asking exactly what it means, take a look. Enjoy!

(BTW- apologies for a less than articulate day for me yesterday. :( Fortunately Sacca was on.)

Part insightful analysis of what ails Silicon Valley and part madcap journey to far flung hubs of aspiration and innovation, Sarah Lacy takes us around the world in 180 pages to find the fascinating people who are creating the new wealth in a new world of start ups and ventures that America ought to be paying a lot more attention to.
Brilliant. Crazy. Cocky.

An unforgettable portrait of the emerging world's entrepreneurial dynamos Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky is the story about that top 1% of people who do more to change their worlds through greed and ambition than politicians, NGOs and nonprofits ever can. This new breed of self-starter is taking local turmoil and turning it into opportunities, making millions, creating thousands of jobs and changing the face of modern entrepreneurship at the same time. To tell this story, Lacy spent forty weeks traveling through Asia, South America and Africa hunting down the most impressive up-and-comers the developed world has never heard of....yet.
