Listen Later

Elizabeth Warren's presidential run includes a call to break up Amazon, Google, Facebook, and any tech company that generates over $25 billion of annual revenue and looks like a "platform utility" (e.g. Apple and its App Store). While this might work in the world of politics we think its a recipe for disaster in the tech space - another political idea that's easier or better said than done. Plus our Fast Five: - Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband launch date is April 11, 2019; - Facebook's new AI-based revenge porn detection engine; - Purdue University's attempt to secure the networks inside your body; - Foursquare: Alive and kicking (and tracking your every move); and - Boeing's complexity challenge Our Tech Bites Winner: Boeing's human decisions that led to the 737 Max disasters. Our Crystal Ball: Will other carriers follow Verizon's low-cost $10/month approach to 5G, or will they milk the market for all they can get as high-speed mobile technology finally starts to emerge as a reality?
