warren has just proposed breaking up the biggest tech companies. google, facebook, apple, amazon. i assume you don't agree with her proposal, but what do you think? tony: i don't agree with her proposals, but i think it is a really interesting speech. to be fair to her, i think it is a speech with an intellectual coherence to it. and i think what it shows is where i think the democratic platform may well go. and exactly the same issues are going on in the u.k. and europe. personally, i think a better way of dealing with it is to regulate them. directly having a regulator for these large tech companies. because i think if you try to break them up, i'm not sure that really works. if you try to slice them up, you will find enormous difficulty in doing that. it's important to understand that one of the reasons these companies are so large is because they are offering a service people want. so, yes, there are huge questions that arise out of their dominance and their power, but i think there is a better way to regulate this, in a way that has the public interest put into the mix when we

the owner of granola. i am a vendor for google. we have been with google for about six years. at the beginning of our business we were 35% of our business came from supplying food, granola, cookies to google. that allowed us to stay within the city limits and manufacture within the city limits of san francisco. we built in 2012 in the dogpatch. our rent has increased so much. we were low income when i was there. we shot up to high income area. i think that with the help of google and the amount of money coming in we were allowed to stay in business. we don't have to worry about going to the grocery stores doing demos. we make the product, send it to them and they enjoy. there is a flip side where it is branding outside of those corporate offices. people come to the farmers market stand and say i had your spiced nuts. i have seen an uptick of the sales throughout the area in san francisco and throughout. i guess i just think it needs to be reconsidered and that a lot of small local businesses rely on the cafeterias opening. we started with two cafeterias, now six. almost 10 to $12

google," you talk about the fact that it's not necessarily the inventers who know how to use this technology. it's people like martin luther and mark zuckerberg. >> you know, peter one of the interesting things that i discovered and was able to substantiate in "from gutenberg to google," is that it's never the primary network that is transformative. but it's the secondary effects of that network. it's how, for instance, the printing press not only enabled luther but allowed the renaissance to come out of northern italy. it's how the first high-speed network, the railroad, created industrial -- the industrial revolution. and how the first electronic network, the telegraph, allowed for the creation of a national news media and a national financial system. national markets. it's always the secondary effect. and that's what mark zuckerberg and larry page are showing with facebook and google and other activities. >> so can you compare the development of railroad in the u.s. to the development of the internet in the u.s.? >> oh, absolutely. so the railroad, as i said, was the first high

: are they a monopoly? tony: well, they are powerful. theyook, google, amazon, are incredibly powerful and will likely become more powerful. but it better way to do it is to look at how to be have the public interest. where i think elizabeth warren is right is that they are like utilities. they are utility platforms. the same way that when electricity and the water industry and others were created in the 19th century, first in the private sector, in time, people said these are utilities everyone depends on so they will have to be publicly regulated. in some cases, people want them publicly owned. the point is, if they have got that amount of power, there will be a demand from the public that the public interest is taken into account. i think a better way of doing that is to have regulators that work with those companies, rather than break them up. emily: so, facebook, for example. multiple scandals, covered by the data of millions of people. mark zuckerberg has now said we will focus on privacy, private medications. -- communications. is that enough? tony: i understand why and
