Really enjoyed this Decoder conversation about building the esports business with @totheLaPointe, who has grown Evil Geniuses from 8 to 150 people in her two years as CEO, with a focus on expanding the audience. https://t.co/VyMiEqDZSo https://t.co/wMsxtWWGrs — PolitiTweet.org

Comcast delaying data caps by saying it wants to give people time to get familiar with them is like... get familiar with what? Higher prices? Lack of competition? https://t.co/uWkxyWzdAn https://t.co/wiMTmlx1n2 — PolitiTweet.org
