The recent ruling in the DOJ’s landmark antitrust case against Google—the biggest U.S. antitrust trial in decades—has sparked widespread discussion about Big Tech’s dominance and the future of regulation. Henry Morris and I collaborated on an article for www.thelawverse.com where we dive into the fascinating parallels between today’s tech giants and the monopolies of the past, like Standard Oil. What’s striking is how U.S. antitrust enforcement is shifting focus—from consumer prices to the broader impacts of corporate power on competition, innovation, and democracy. What's being called "hipster" antitrust. Henry brought incredible depth and insight to this piece, and together, we explore what this ruling means not just for Google, but for Big Tech as a whole. This case could mark the beginning of a new era in antitrust law, with implications for companies like Apple, Amazon, and Meta. ?? https://lnkd.in/gmbRg79Q
I’m excited to share an article I co-authored alongside Jessica Furr for?The LawVerse, a Substack platform that publishes insightful, entertaining, and accessible articles exploring the complex intersections of law and technology. In this piece, we delve into the fascinating world of antitrust law, tracing its historical evolution and examining its modern application to Big Tech. The article highlights how antitrust enforcement has shifted—from breaking up monopolies like Standard Oil during the Gilded Age to addressing the dominance of companies like Google, Apple, and Amazon today. With the recent ruling in the DOJ’s landmark antitrust case against Google—the biggest U.S. antitrust trial in decades—we explore how this decision could signal a new era of regulation. The article also unpacks the philosophical shift from focusing on consumer prices to examining Big Tech’s broader impacts on competition, innovation, and even democracy. Drawing historical parallels to the monopolistic titans of the past, we make the case that history has a way of repeating itself. If you’re curious about how antitrust law is evolving in the digital age and what it means for the future of Big Tech, I invite you to check out the article.

Cheap internet access is a privilege right now, but it won’t be in the future. Like Starlink, DAWN will enable ubiquitous internet coverage for the millions of people unable to afford it. We’re proud to support Neil Chatterjee, James Smits and the team as they continue to deliver the dream of creating the first global bandwidth marketplace.
I am excited to share some news from the Andrena team: First, we have raised an additional $18M led by Dragonfly with participation from investors old and new including 6MV, Castle Island Ventures, CMT Digital, Escape Velocity (EV3), Lattice, ParaFi Capital, Syncracy Capital, Frictionless Capital, and more. Second, we are publicly announcing DAWN, or Decentralized Autonomous Wireless Network. With DAWN, we are building the first protocol to offer decentralized broadband with multi-gigabit wireless technology. Third, we are also thrilled to share for the first time the DAWN Validator Extension. Anyone can now earn rewards by downloading, staying connected, referring friends, and participating as a validator node for proof of bandwidth. You can download the extension here: https://lnkd.in/eFKWRYpN Thank you to our team and investors for making this all possible!

I'm proud to have submitted a comment letter with Bryan Edelman to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on behalf of Dragonfly on the proposed rule that effectively bans prediction markets in the US.? Along with Coinbase, Crypto.com, and Robinhood, among others, we disagree with the overly broad definition of "gaming" and hold that the proposed rule exceeds the statutory authority of the CFTC - especially given we are in a post-Chevron world (more on Chevron here: https://lnkd.in/gYkBHgfc). Banning innovation is not the American way. We hope the CFTC will consider our recommendations and welcome discussions on our letter Coverage: https://bit.ly/46IAMx6 Full letter: https://bit.ly/3LWaxd9
