Vision of Technological Progress. Joel weber is here with us. A great story that is going to make you rethink how you perceive Silicon Valley. Joel we wanted to really open up the whole idea of the issue here. It is really too easy to be down on tech right now. The techlash israel. Antitrust is in the wind. Dont forget that technology and innovators can still do incredible things and sometimes you just have to look outside Silicon Valley. Ashley has spent a lot of time doing that. Jason it is amazing, his and it,s worldview, also comes at a time of real existential questions around Silicon Valley and yet, i found it to ultimately be optimistic. Joel there is a sense of hope. That is the spirit of this whole issue, the sooner than you think issue. Not to just look at the glass halfempty. Lets look at it halffull. Carol solving really serious problems. Thank you so much. Jason more on this issue. Atlast year, we were looking the incredible moment that we were seeing coming back for ai. This year, in the midst of the backlash against the conventional big Tech Industry that is heating up this week especially, we wanted to look at what new models of innovation and Technological Progress really look like. Jason one of the ways into this is that you use one of our best assets, he has been all over the planet literally looking at these pockets of innovation, and the comparisons he makes to what he is seeing around the world versus what he has seen and you have seen so many years in Silicon Valley are pretty stark. Jeff absolutely. This is really in his wheelhouse, a story he has been tailoring for the better part of was saidnow as the in one of his stories a few years ago. Minds of my generation are trying to figure out how to get people to click on ads. This is been the story of the last decade and a half in Silicon Valley. His travels around the world have taken him to places that have reminded him of the value of generations past and reminded him that innovation can come in in all forms, whether it is in australia or china or chile or palestine or elsewhere. Carol lets talk about the Silicon Valley past and get into what he means by that and then we can get into what we talk about today. You were talking about when hobbyists were involved, builders. Jeff he harkens back to the where people were really experimented in a pre computerized era with what electrification and the growth of the Electronics Industry can do for the country. Trying to tinker and invents their way to a better future, as opposed to trying to optimize it for shareholder earnings. Jason what changed . In your estimation and based on the reporting, where did the pivot happen . He says the finest minds of our generation ar enow focused on something very different, even different from the 1990s. What happened . Jeff sure. As is pointed out in the piece, there is a wave of innovation that crests and changes after netscape and the dotcom crash. Jason it becomes apparent what the internet potential is going to be in 1995 and we take some hard left turns. Jeff thats right. A lot of people would look at the current slate of Silicon Valley tech giants and say facebook is the flagship problem, the biggest arbiter of the kinds of at models ad models that we look at. The piece blames google, the search giant more or less inventing the modern industry of accumulating as much data as possible about people to try to generate more and more advertising and ad dollars is where the industry started to lose its way. Jason and so is there hope for Silicon Valley at this point . One of the things pointed out an affiliate we have talked about it is this idea that so many of these companies, at least superficially or in their formation, wer actuallye about doing good for the world. Google, dont be evil. We go back to that. Hope that maybe in the near to midterm future Silicon Valley finds its soul again . Jeff i would not expected to happen in a matter of a couple quarters, but there is certainly a model for innovation that people are trying to reach toward through the valley and particularly google, you can see in the protests by employees, walkouts, the pressure for better labor conditions, or Different Company policies, particularly around drones and military contracts, there is a push for reform. Jason you think back to the 1990s and the trouble microsoft got into with the government with antitrust. Fastforward to today. The government taking a look at these companies. If there is this moment of reckoning, that maybe at least puts us closer back to the right track, knows . Jeff i think that is very possible. Microsoft antitrust suite is likely credited as giving rise to google, leaving room for other country to build company to build a search engine. Carol up next, white economists say hold off on celebrating say hold off on celebrity the tenure economic expansion. Jason and why progress may be made in the u. S. China trade dispute. Carol this is Bloomberg Businessweek. Welcome back. L jason join carol and me for Bloomberg Businessweek every day on the radio. Also, listen and subscribe to our podcast. Carol you can also find it. Com andt businessweek our mobile app. , june marks a 10 Year Anniversary in one of the longest economic expansions of u. S. History. Jason should we be celebrating . This month marks the 10th birthday which equals the longest expansion in records going back to 1854. Type with 19912001. If it goes one more month into july, it will become the recordholder. That streamers, parties, cakes. Carol we are not celebrating. Jason we dont have fun. Prof. Coy there are two people reasons people are not celebrating. We are worried this is nearing its end. That actually would could be heading toward a recession. You see that in the bond market with the inversion of the yield curve we are talking about all the time, where the threemonth treasury yields are higher, often a sign recession is on the way. Jason it is a sign because people dont have longterm confidence, so they are buying shorter duration. Prof. Coy it is really more fear of growth is going to be low in the longterm, inflation and growth will be low over the long term. Meanwhile, the rates that the fed imposes, the fed controls the short end of the yield curve, are high or choking off field curve. Carol the shorter end is higher, the longer is lower. Typically, you want a higher yield for a longer duration. Peter so, that is one thing. Then we have the trade war, which was with china and now it is soon to be breaking up with mexico. We also have worries about japan and europe. So, the growth is still healthy, but there is a worry it is going to end. Jason help us understand Larry Summers in this context. This is a guy people listen to. Where does he land . Because he was part of a nice expansion himself. How does he look at it academically versus practically . Peter so, he is on the second point. The first point being the recession might end. The second point being it was never very strong in the first place. That is what he gets into with his theory of secular stagnation. That is an idea that was coined by alvin hansen in the 1930s and he singlehandedly has revived it over the past five years. He has been hammering on it. Larry summers. Jason former treasury secretary. Peter he was the treasury secretary under clinton and head of the National Economic council under obama. Jason former president of harvard. Still teaches at harvard. He knows a thing or two about this. Peter he does. His thought is that we have gotten into a situation where there is a chronic shortfall of demand by businesses and households and the only way to keep the economy growing at a decent pace is by fiscal and monetary stimulus, kind of extreme, more than you really feel comfortable with. Fiscal stimulus being sort of deficit spending and monetary stimulus being very low Interest Rates. We are in a situation where there is a lot of fiscal stimulus because of the 2017 tax cut. And Interest Rates remain quite low, considering how low the Unemployment Rate is. Even with that, growth is just kind of ok. Carol lets get a little bit more on peters story. Taylor riggs is with us. Taylor we have a great chart as always. Come in my terminal here. Yellow, that is all you need to know. In the 1990s was averaging about 3. 8 . Before the great recession, we were averaging about 2. 8 . This is right here. We are only averaging about 2. 3 growth. When we talk about how long the expansion has been, this is why people have been talking about it. Carol thank you so much. Jason how to the worlds biggest investors view the economy . Blackstones president and ceo i asked him about one of the biggest issues in the economy right now, the u. S. Trade dispute with china. Dont have a ton of businesses in the Global Supply chain. We have some that are being impacted by this. Is the say that that issue. I would say the broader issue is what it means for markets, what it means for confidence, and economic growth. We are goingsts, to see less economic growth, more uncertainty. Markets logically have traded off. That makes sense. I think as investors, you have to be mindful of that. Sometimes youat dont necessarily think through all the multiple impacts of these things as they play through a lot of industries. I think it makes you generally a little more cautious. The bond market has moved much more cautious with a 10year now quite negative. Ok, growth is still although we are waiting to see the impact. Jason how soon do you think we will see the impact . The next quarter . This year . Jonathan this year i think, incrementally. There are definitely companies trying to move supply chains. That has an impact. If you think about what drives economic growth, this is one of the challenges about brexit. If people have confidence that tomorrow things will be better, they will make Capital Expenditures or hiring decisions based on that confidence. If they feel very uncertain about the future, they tend to pull back. I do think the tax cut last year was helpful in building confidence. I think now there is more wariness with regard to what is going on. I will say this, i still think as a relates to u. S. And china on trade, ultimately i think there should be a resolution because it is in both parties interest. There is the recognition of a rebalancing that should be taking place. This is about the pace and extent of that rebalancing. I think the Technology Side of this is harder to resolve and we may end up in sort of a Bipolar Technology world. Jason to that point, rebalancing is one thing. On the tech side, we are looking at decoupling in a lot of ways these two economies. Your boss intimately involved in china, he is a confidant of the leaders of both countries, u. S. And china. How worried are you about that decoupling . How worried as the firm . Jonathan i think everyone recognizes in the near term the parties have moved apart and i think everybody is disappointed that that has occurred. Is a sense that it is in the collective interest of both parties to come back together. I think in terms of trade and reciprocal openness of markets, i think progress ultimately will be made. I think the Technology Thing is just tougher. Jason for more on that interview, check out our Bloomberg Businessweek extra podcast. Carol also, the magazine this week, we have a next served an excerpt from her interview with the cisco cep. Next, the oneshot gene therapy that could treat incurable diseases. Jason and imagine a 20 smartphone with a fiveday battery life. Those stories just ahead on Bloomberg Businessweek. Jason welcome back to Bloomberg Businessweek. Carol you can also listen to us. N the radio in the bay area, london, and to the Bloomberg Business app. Therapydvances in gene appeared to successfully treat once incurable patients. Jason this progress does not come cheap. I talked to james patton. A very interesting time. We are entering a new frontier in medicine. The science is accelerating rapidly. It is really at a turning point after many years of struggles and setbacks. We are talking about treatments that are intended to be given to patients a single time and potentially deliver a lifetime of benefits. Possible queue or in some cases. Now there is uncertainty over the longterm whether these benefits are going to be willined, whether patients be needed to be treated again at some point down the track, whether they will encounter any side effects. We dont have full answers to all of these questions, although the data over the past five years or so has been dramatic. Forhealth care systems, payers around the world, governments and insurers, they are wrestling how they will pay for these treatments that could be multimillion dollar drugs. Even if they save money over the longterm, over the shorter term, they are going to have a significant budget impact when you consider this year number of gene therapies approaching the market and the cost. Jason i want to get into the cost in a minute, but help me understand how this works. You said this is a one time thing. Does it replace drugs going down the line . James that is the goal. My colleague talked to the mother of a patient, for example, with a rare genetic condition better known as bubble boy disease. This is a rare condition that basically leaves newborns extremely vulnerable to infection. They have to live in isolation. Frequently kills kids before they turned two years old. In other cases, these gene therapies are replacing a lifetime of costly care. There was a product just approved by the fda in the past couple weeks from a swiss particle pseudogold pharmaceutical company, novartis, to treat spinal muscular atrophy. That is the goal overtime. There are those longterm uncertainties that still need to be resolved. Jason right. Lets talk about the costs. As you say, multimillions of dollars. What is the cost so much . Some question. James if you consider the cost to treat some of these conditions, like hemophilia for instance, the standard treatments can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, upwards of 1 million per year. And there are very expensive to develop over a long period of time. The pharmaceutical companies are trying to recoup investments and charge what the market will bear, but they obviously are under a great deal of pressure to price these that responsible levels. The drug price controversy in the u. S. Is well underway and of this will only add to the debate. Carol also in the sooner than you think issue, using a product from china and lessons from india. Jason it is all about getting africans Internet Connections tailored to their needs on that continent. Here is a reporter our reporter. Ive been talking to people in the Tech Industry for years and years about what is colloquially called the next billion users, although it is really like 3 billion or 4 billion users, people not yet connected to the internet, about one half the population of the globe. There have been all of these initiatives to try to crack that 50 or so of people who are not online. I started talking to people in the last couple years about this company, which is this little start up, a spinoff of a Chinese Electronics company, that made this software for very inexpensive devices that are somewhere between a 1990s cell phone and the smartphones you and i have. Jason it is fascinating. One of the headlines kicked around on this is the 20 smartphone with the fiveday battery. Ok, im listening. In terms of that market opportunity. How does it work . Take us inside the phone and tell us about the opportunity. Shira the phones are sold by Companies Like reliance go in india. Orange, large french mobile phone company. They are starting to sell the devices in africa. It looks in many cases like the cell phone you might have had in 1997. It has basic the basic body of a cell phone. It has no touchscreen. That is typically one of the most expensive components on a smart phone and it drains a lot of battery. If you were talking about markets in africa or rural india, where people might have spotty access to electricity, a touchscreen is a little bit of a no go. You Start Talking about some of these efforts to make these devices as simple as possible, but still have the sophistication of a smartphone. They connect to the google voice assistant. You can get apps like whatsapp and facebook that have been customized for the devices. You are talking about a device that in some parts of the world you can get for seven dollars, 20, 25, that have some of the brains of a smartphone, but at significantly lower cost, which make it a good onramp for the internet. Jason part of the cost comes from all of the stuff that is in the phone. Stuff in00 worth of the latest and greatest iphone. You got to get that down so it is affordable for people to sell. Right down to the processor. I get three dollar processor. Shira absolutely right. One of the analysts i talked to said these smartphone devices probably have maybe 15 worth of parts. As you mentioned, the highest and iphone, we are talking about 400 in estimated parts. A lot of it is just kind of things that you maybe dont need if you are just trying to get people onto the internet. Again, a less expensive, but still capable processor, the brains of a smartphone. 50 in a highend smartphone, versus three dollars in this device. Jason up next, the company attracting the attention of just about anyone who is going to need superfast chips for ai. Carol billions wrapping up its latest season. We will hear about diversity on wall street from its creator. Jason welcome back to Bloomberg Businessweek. Carol still ahead in this weeks special issue, six flying robo taxis that could soon shuttle you around new city. Jason and in cities around the globe. Captain wants to tell an iceberg to south africa to solve a water crisis. Carol and what is called the third wave of computer processing. We all know about cpus, but now we are talking about ideas i pus. This is a story about Machine Learning and artificial intelligence. All of the big advantages we have seen have been rooted in software as this is the first time we have seen advantages in hardware. Tiny chip come a big potential chip, big potential. Jason what is fascinating is needed to make them a little dumber and cool them down. This is created by a british startup. When we do processing for ai, we are using maximum computing skills. One of the things we have been able to do with this chip is make it be way Lower Energy Consumption and it is rooted in the guesswork. The chip becomes a brain like in its ability to have human level intuition. Carol we are going to need this processing capability. We will need to be able to do this. For companies with big ai aspirations, microsoft, bmws of the world, any Company Looking for ai future, this looks to be the big breakthrough. Theyre calling it a new level of architecture. Carol thank you so much. Jason big money, big breakthroughs. We talked more about this with our reporter. Bristolbasedis a company. I mostly write about silicon Great Companies so it was to talk about another company doing something difficult. The idea is that ai has been seen as a software problem. This company said we dont have the hardware to address these problems. To think more like humans do. To actually solve these issues ai is trying to address. Carol we need a new chip. Talk to us about how this chick needs to think how we do. Totally. The other thing is that the two types of chips that came before, gpus, basically, they thought, lets be as precise as possible. They were based on the cap there calculator. And that is not how humans think. When we go into a roundabout but we dont figure out the precise dimension. And carol, we dont analyze every pixel of your face. We need a processor that thinks like a human. Int plucks a different nodes the sphere and can process amorphous of data structures. ,ason this gets to the core pun intended, of seneca Silicon Valley. The Semi Conductor is the fundamental peace of this entire entirevolution Tech Revolution piece of this Tech Revolution. They need to go back and rethink what they are doing. Howd you do that . That is what they had to do. The whole chip industry spaced on the basic idea is a based the is based on the idea that the transistors on the chip will double. But as they double about these processes are getting superhot. They started getting very hot and powerhungry. So this company, they need to say, how do we designed this chip so it is not just imprecisely calculating to save energy, but is also doing it in an efficient way. Have beentorically designed to separate it from designed separately from memory. It usually has to go to a different component of hardware. It is super powerhungry. Carol and not productive. Not at all. So this chip combines logic with memory so it can do thinking and storage at the same moment. They have broken it up into 1200 processor cores. I apologize for it being too technical, but it is fun. So they act independently doing the small problems. And at the moment when it is most efficient, they sink up and share learnings sync up and share learnings. Carol taylor riggs is here with more of the story. Taylor nvidia is one of the leading chipmakers, but already investors have focused and traded that premium. Big gains they have made in gpus. And their competitors investors really rewarding those shares. You wonder if nvidia would rise a little higher as they are clearly a clear leader in ip use in ipus. Huaweisming up, why engineers are working 24 hour days. Carol and the amazing discoveries made by underwater drones. Jason this is Bloomberg Businessweek. Jason welcome back to Bloomberg Businessweek. Carol join us every day on the radio from 2 00 p. M. 5 p. M. Wall street on. You can also wall street time. You can also catch up on our podcast. Jason also, find us online and through our mobile app. Section,e technology with huaweis selection of drying up. Jason they are working on contingency plans. Have been covering huawei a lot from the perspective of President Trump and how he has targeted the company, encouraging our allies to take action. Nowavent tracking this is the story our reporters in asia have been following is, basically, they are calling up their troops. Calling on all employees. Developing 20 47 to react to what has been happening. Thewhat is happening is Commerce Department has taken action against the company and put it on a blacklist. Buy partsy cannot from u. S. Companies and u. S. Companies cannot do business with huawei. Now, it is starting to have a trickle effect. Trumps efforts to get allies to go along with this is gaining traction. So while way is learning to basically make up for any of those needs that were fulfilled by u. S. Companies internally. It is amassing the troops. Pulling everybody together to rid themselves of any dependency. Of course. And they are really approaching it. We posit it in this warlike way with the troops, they have a lot of resources. Something like 10,000 developers, all kinds of people. It is at every level of this company. If you are functioning 20 for seven, the canteen needs reworking, Developers Need to be working to do everything they can to develop the behcets and the chips base sets and the chips. Certainly, the American Supply Chain is dramatically being cut off. There are concerns that will happen with others. We have seen is both an internal and external effort. Our colleague Tom Mackenzie in china had an exclusive interview with the founder of huawei. He is taking a very bold position, both to his own employees, and to the world. He is taking it as a sign that this company is not being targeted because they are ahead of the u. S. , head of American Companies to companies. He said this is why they are being targeted. They are in a good position, he sees it, to push back. Carol and we are going to stay with technology for a moment and get back to the soonerthanyouthink with undersea drones mapping the ocean floor. Jason they have tripled the data we had before, found lost submarines, and there is the potential for more discoveries. Carol we got more from our reporter. I got into the story because i was fascinated by the missing malaysia airliner. When they first started looking for it, it was an unbelievable technological challenge. They had traced the signals the plane had set to this patch of the remote indian ocean up to three miles deep. They wind up searching an area the size of great britain. This vast area. How do you do that . The technology they had at the towe was they would tell this sonar beacon and it would transmit sound waves. Carol kind of like mowing a lawn . Yeah, kind of like mowing the lawn and imaging the seabed. You go for miles and miles of a uturn, and you come back miles, you turn around, and you come back. Jason all the while, this is sending signals back to human beings. The human beings are on the ship. You have human eyeballs on these images being fed up the cable. They did not find it, and nobody could explain why. They thought, maybe we should look further, but we have spent all our money. A Company CalledOcean Infinity stepped up. They said to the government, look, we will keep looking for for for free. If and when we find it, you pay us that then. Note given in the game for malaysia, they said go ahead. It had only been a couple of years since the search had started, but they have new technology. Instead of pulling this sensor along, now you are sending down a robot. A drone, if you will. But not just one, a whole fleet. Carol autonomous water vehicle. You. Ank and when i heard about it, i was skeptical, because you are operating the most one of the most difficult environments in the world. 40s,all it the roaring it is this notoriously terrible area of the ocean. And you are putting down major drone, putting down another one, and as you put each one down, the once you put down are finding their way autonomously. But one is mowing the lawn in a coordinated way. So collectively, they are searching this area. Next, the robo taxis poised to work their ways into our everyday lives. Carol and could icebergs be the answer to south africas water problem . Jason this is Bloomberg Businessweek. Carol welcome back to Bloomberg Businessweek. Jason you can also listen to us on the radio on sirius xm channel 119, and on a. M. 1130 in new york, 106. 1 in boston, 99. 1 f. M. In washington, d. C. Carol a. M. 960 in the bay area, london on dab digital, and through the Bloomberg Business app. In this issue, more than a Dozen Companies have working prototypes of passenger drones. Jason it could be sooner than at least i thought. More than half a Dozen Companies already have flying prototypes in the air. Nd unmannedn manned a test flights across las vegas, in dubai, and lots of companies from the u. S. To germany, to china, are vying for investor money and try to conquer the skies, basically. Jason so many questions. The first, is this a massmarket play . Are we going to see major cities in the world . A vision of people moving through the city in these taxi driver . There certainly are several cities that are explicitly looking at these forms of transportation. Far ahead andt is asia is relatively far ahead as well. These are cities that are relatively confined. There is lots of capital there, lots of people, lots of traffic. To getxis are a way people away from congested streets. It is a very convenient way of traveling. Yeah. It is also environmentally friendly. The flying taxis being developed are electric. Jason wow. So who are the Companies Leading the way here . We have several. We have a company in germany called bolo copter volocopter. It has basically developed a drone on steroids that has already had demand had manned and unmanned test flights over to buy. They are building a port, an airport for robo taxis in singapore this year where they will start test flights, public test flights. And there is a Chinese Company that is doing pretty well that has already flown. There are American Companies involved that already have prototypes flying. So, yeah, the skies are pretty busy already. Jason i love some of the names of the companies. Astro elroy, a call back to the jetsons. Hawk, a call back to the wright brothers. Where is this going to go . The cheaper version is unmanned, autonomous. And that is the ideal way of transporting. Taxi, you tapying a few buttons, then the taxi will fly you autonomously to your destination. Already price estimates from a trip from jfk to manhattan for about 70. That is certainly affordable, not much more than a taxi. But just a scaling up that model and flying autonomously will be the key here to keep prices low. Also, South Africans are facing shortages of clean Drinking Water. Jason and one sea captain says a 100 million ton iceberg, thats big, it may be the fix for the problem. Here is carillion a winter. Lina caro carol lina winter. Not that newis is of an idea but it focuses on a Marine Salvage expert. Whos careeruy involves repelling onto burning supertankers and cleaning oil spills. Remember,of you who he boarded the coast of costa concordia, the famous italian cruise ship. She lives in cape town and has been experiencing the success of droughts. It culminated last year with day zero, where they said cape town was within months of running out of Drinking Water and municipal water in general. They really cut down the water rates. Begins thinking about using his unusual skill set for doing what others have talked icebergs from antarctica close enough so that the water can be harvested. Carol lets talk about this. It is not the first time people have thought about this or worked on it. But exactly what kind of iceberg are we talking about . How do you physically do that . Right. [laughter] that is a long story. But he is looking for an iceberg that is about 25 million tons. It would be about 1000 meters by 500 by 250. It would be an antarctic iceberg. They are typically much, much bigger than arctic icebergs. Becaused to be tabular they break off of the antarctic landmass. That makes the more stable and easier to tow. The idea would be to pick up one of these icebergs that has ra traveled halfway to south africa already traveled halfway to south africa. They would need to use satellite to locate the ideal iceberg and use radar and sonar to make sure it is structurally sound. And then they want to surround basically,iant net, with two supertankers pulling it and to tugboats two tugboats. It is a detailed process you will have to read about, but they think they can do it. Showtimesave to say, billions is one of my favorite shows and is wrapping up. Carol i sat down with the show creators and we talked about how the show has exported the gender identity of wall street. Hedge funds have tendrils to the past and are mostly maledominated, largely white males. Company, the founder can put his stamp on his company and set the climate. Especially if they are doing well. People will follow it. We just thought that he could be a guy who its not a question if he is liberal or conservative, but he judges people based on the values they provide. So if he confers this person is so valuable, everybody else will fall in line and accord this person respect that he does. We just thought it be interesting to not have been pught up in the pet of it ettiness of it. There is only one person who responds with anger and it plays like an p insult. He uses the feminine pronoun in that moment. It is very intentional. We found it was easy. Once you know somebody and spend time with them, to not use a name, people ask is that all the time. To use the wrong program, it would literally be like calling dave bob in a moment of anger. You just think of the person that way. And it was not easy for the two of us. We are a couple of 50 euros guys who came from a culture that did not know gender nonbinary people existed. But after a week hanging out with asia, you would never think of calling them anything other than that pronoun. But that is who they are and that is who they are. One thing that happened when we were shooting the first , even though we had been working with asia for two years. When they were wearing the dress and the makeup and the wake, these feminine pronouns to started flying out. Nobody could help it. And even asia was like its fine , dont worry about. And when all of that stuff came off the next shooting day or whatever, it came back to normal. It was very odd. The way people respond in this visualize what. Carol Bloomberg Businessweek is available now. Jason what is your mustread . Carol i like so much of the issue, but austins story about the next generation of processors and what they might be able to do would be able to open up a whole world in terms of technology. Love that story. Jason it is a cool story. Carol your mustread . Jason ashlee vance, one of my favorite writers out there. I got a chance to catch up with them in palo alto not too long ago. This takes you inside his brain. He is so thoughtful about where Silicon Valley was, where is, the rest of the world. And the social and Economic Business implications, you have got to read. Carol his stories have deftly spark conversations in my own home. And you can find more stories online. Jason and check out our podcast. Carol more Bloomberg Television starts now. At comcast, we didnt build the nations largest gigspeed network just to make businesses run faster. We built it to help them go beyond. Because beyond risk. Welcome to the neighborhood, guys.
