Published: Dec. 24, 2013, 1:32 p.m.

b"For those looking for our weekly podcast over the holiday break, we decided to recut one of our early interviews with Bob Frankston, a favorite of Lisa's, and put it back in the feed. We ran the original interview for episode 14 of our Community Broadband [no-glossary]Bits[/no-glossary] podcast and again now for episode 78. \\n\\nFrankston continues to write about the Internet and encouraging more networks that have a primary objective of exchanging bits rather than generating profits for a few massive firms who design their networks primarily to maximize billable events. He describes himself this way:\\n\\nMy current interest is moving beyond the 19th century concept of telecom to community owned infrastructure. This would add hundreds of billions of dollars to the US and much more value by creating opportunity for what we can't imagine.\\n\\nRead the transcript of this episode here.\\n\\nEnjoy the holidays!\\n\\nWe want your feedback and suggestions for the show - please e-mail us or leave a comment below.
