Digital Savant Podcast #5: GigaOm’s Stacey Higginbotham
Podcast
Stacey Higginbotham, who covers broadband, the FCC, infrastructure and more as an Austin-based senior reporter for GigaOm.com stopped in to chat with us this week for the Digital Savant Podcast.
In Episode 5, we talk about our impressions of Google+, the seeming inevitability of AT&T’s purchase of T-Mobile, bandwidth caps and what happened to Stacey at South by Southwest Interactive (it involves food poisoning and a broken nose, in that order).
