“[...] a tour de force of the issues raised by the digital economy and internet capitalism. Whether you agree or disagree with Harold, these thoughts will stretch your intellect and stimulate your thinking.” -Tom Wheeler, Former Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Visiting Fellow at The Brooking Institution

“You’d be shortchanging yourself by not reading the book of such a principled advocate.” -Hal Singer, Managing Director at Econ One Research, Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, Senior Fellow at George Washington's Institute of Public Policy

“I'd bet you can't listen to Harold Feld talk about the Digital Platform Act and not think we need it as law right now. I'm glad Harold Feld and Public Knowledge are making the case for government to do the job Silicon Valley won't.” -Chris Savage, Eclectablog
