Breaking the grocery duopoly – lessons from telco

This week, Peter talks to stalwart of both the supermarket and telecommunications industries, Ernie Newman. In the early 2000s, the government intervened to ensure that the monopoly that then-Telecom had on broadband internet industry didn’t last long. What can we learn from those efforts and where should we be putting out hopes for disruption?  We also chat about the latest tech news including, the governments facial recognition failures, how much big tech is spending on cloud capacity, and OpenAI’s new GPT marketplace.
