ridesharing

The gig economy is transforming the workforce. From Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, TaskRabbit & DoorDash, workers are signing up for individual gigs, delivering food and groceries, ferrying passengers from one place to another. However, there are auxiliary marketplaces being built on top of the sharing economy, & Paneau is one of them.

Paneau is empowering drivers & local businesses, through its highly customizable ad platform that’s being built on top of the ridesharing ecosystem. 

Today we are thrilled to have Nader Khalil, CEO & Co-founder at Paneau, a company leveraging the gig economy to build a platform for hyperlocal rideshare advertising.

Technological change continues to advance rapidly - public policy needs to catch up. Your county likely has cable television franchise agreements built for the 1980s, but what is your role in the telecommunications market of the 2020s?

The fast-paced, Q&A-style session focused on opportunities and challenges concerning the county role in the telecommunications market of the 2020s -- including regulation, rights-of-way, taxation, community access, and first amendment issues encountered along the way.

Panelists:

• Arthur Scott, Associate Legislative Director, National Association of Counties (NACo)
• Joanne Hovis, President, CTC Technology and Energy
• Michael Sanderson, Executive Director, MACo
• Kevin Kinnally, Associate Director, MACo

The 2019 MACo Winter Conference, “Building for the Future,” was held on December 4-6, 2019, at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Hotel in Cambridge, Maryland.

What made the internet angry this week?

Derek has a new podcast, and it's way better than this one! We have VERY different ideas about what 'sexual experimentation' means. The NHL Draft came to Vancouver, and 'people' (sports journalists) were really mad that we don't have ridesharing. Uber and Lyft suck ass, and you're awful for supporting them. Instagram influencers are back on their bullshit. An unintended side effect of our phone addictions is WE ARE LITERALLY GROWING HORNS OUT OF THE BACK OF OUR SKULLS. All this, and more, on what is now your second-favorite podcast featuring Derek Bolen.
