b'If we want to understand the cloud, then we need to study real estate. We are joined by Dan Greene\\u2014from the University of Maryland\\u2019s College of Information Studies\\u2014who has written the premier analysis of who owns the internet. We all know the cloud is a place, but many of us think that place is largely owned by familiar tech giants. Wrong.

The stack of landlords goes deeper than we realize.\\n\\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 Dan\\u2019s twitter: https://twitter.com/Greene_DM \\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 Dan\\u2019s website: http://dmgreene.net/ \\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 Dan\\u2019s article \\u2013 Landlords of the internet: Big data and big real estate http://dmgreene.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/03063127221124943.pdf \\n\\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills \\n\\nGrab TMK gear: https://www.bonfire.com/store/this-machine-kills-podcast/ \\n\\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
