My podcast guest is Marco Provolo, Head of IOWN and NTT R&D Global Promotion Office. Marco and I discuss what IOWN is, why the shift from silicon to photonics is so crucial, how NTT is working with international partners to accelerate its adoption, and the most exciting applications we can expect to see in the near future. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/amelia-s-weekly-fish-fry-166630/episodes/reshaping-the-future-of-data-how-ntt-and-iown-will-change-how-the-world-communicates/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/amelia-s-weekly-fish-fry-166630/reshaping-the-future-of-data-how-ntt-and-iown-will-change-how-the-world-communicates.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
