Larry Grossman on Digital Opportunity Investment Trust

Larry Grossman is a former president of PBS and also had a long distinguished career in commercial television.  He's co-chair (with former FCC chair Newton Minnow) of the Digital Promise Project, which is sponsoring an initiative to create a Digital Opportunity Investment Trust (DO IT) that would utilize modern digital distribution technologies to support the public good.  The initiative has been around awhile, so if you're wondering what they've been up to lately (or have never heard of it), check out a speech that Grossman gave a few days ago at the University of Nebraska.  Link:  Digital Promise [pdf].  --Dennis
