Some of you may recall that many years ago I would occasionally show up on a video from my employer called “5 Minutes With Harold Feld.” I would use my clever wit and style to produce informative videos on pressing telecom issues with amazing low budget special effects. Like Troy McClure, you may remember me from such classics as “ACTA Recommendation: Ditch the Crazy Stuff” and “Special Access — Too Special To Be Competitive?”
For those who have missed a low-budget YouTube show about incredibly mindnumbingly boring things that I try to make slightly less boring because THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT, I have great news! We are rebooting 5 Minutes With Harold Feld! And, I will now wear a bow-tie, because bow-ties are cool.
Why? Because it is summer time, and time for the remakes and the reboots to roll! Also, we got a cool new camera at PK. Which bring me too —
THE MOST AWESOME AMAZING TEASER TRAILER FOR A 5 MINUTE POLICY YOUTUBE SHOW EVAR!!!
Wasn’t that totally awesome? I could totally hear the folks doing the Star Wars trailer gnashing their teeth in jealousy.
The Mandatory Social Media Tie In To Make This Feel All Interactive and Stuff! #ASKFELD
Like all manufactured marketing campaigns attempting to go viral, we have a hashtag for you so you can ask your own telecom and tech policy questions which I will answer at the end of the episode. And yes, my faithful Trolls, I will try to answer some of your ridiculous troll questions too, in the spirit they are given. Because y’all know I love my little catnip troll toys. So go to the Public Knowledge Facebook page, or Tweet your question with the #ASKFELD hashtag, and I just might actually answer it.
Remember #ASKFELD
Stay tuned . . .
Can’t wait! But the preview had no bow-tie!
I’ve been missing those 5-minute explanations for a while now (really!). But instead of a bow tie, the current hot look for truly expert policy wonks turned mass-media explainers seems to be the Varoufakis look. Harold Feld, Esq., no hair, no tie, leather jacket, motorcycle — even harder to imagine than a truly competitive, open, and universal US ISP market, but you might make it to the front page of some glossy fashion mag, if not Broadcasting and Cable.
