@erica_pandey @DunkinBrands @FCC @JRosenworcel .@DunkinBrands CFO Kate Jaspon says the coronavirus has “absolutely” advanced contactless and cashierless payment: We really took our technology and expedited a lot of programs we were working on, especially with drive-through, curbside and app advancements.

@erica_pandey @DunkinBrands @FCC @JRosenworcel .@DunkinBrands CFO Kate Jaspon on the company’s successful partnership with TikTok star Charli D’Amelio: We’ve seen an increase in app downloads, perk memberships, and sales of cold brew. It’s how we stay relevant and bring in a new demographic.

@erica_pandey @DunkinBrands @FCC @JRosenworcel .@FCC Commissioner @JRosenworcel on why we should pursue smart cities: We’ve got problems to solve and work to do. If we can use technology to solve some of those projects and improve quality of life — we should be out there trying to figure out how to do it.

@erica_pandey @DunkinBrands @FCC @JRosenworcel .@FCC Commissioner @JRosenworcel on cities being able to predict things like fires, safety hazards: Having smart cities with that predictive ability to look at patterns at scale are real and not far from becoming a reality.

@erica_pandey @DunkinBrands @FCC @JRosenworcel .@FCC Commissioner @JRosenworcel: If we want to see cool experiments with smart cities, we have to figure out how to partner with mayors and town councils. I think now they see federal authority as someone who wants to take their power away and prevent them from having a say.
