On The Media Podcast: How to Fix Tech Policy



Check out the recent On The Media interview podcast (above) with Tim Wu, Columbia University law professor and co-author of Who Controls the Internet?: Illusions of a Borderless World.

He's written an article for Slate Magazine about Jump-Starting Our Tech Policy where he outlines his recommendations which include appointing a broadband czar.

Wu is also an advisor to Barack Obama who has a pretty progressive technology policy. The next president needs to devise a cohesive approach toward communications and media which will allow equal access and continued innovation.
