Tim Wu on Importance of Getting Broadband Policy Right
Tim Wu, a professor and long time champion of network neutrality, discusses why getting these policies right is so important.

The take-home lesson? Network neutrality is important, but is less of a permanent solution than networks that are structurally designed to work in the public interest rather than primarily manufacturing private profits.
