Daily Tech News Show

Amazon wants to shake up the apparel business by having customers 3D scan their body so they can get a more exact fit when selecting clothes from the Amazon Store. Will this force traditional retailers to follow suit and how will customers react to the new service? Plus some in Congress have plans to reverse the FCCs rollback of Open Internet guidelines using arcane legislative procedure.

Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Roger Chang and Justin Robert Young.
