The FCC takes on wireless carriers
Earlier this week, President Obama’s chairman of the Federal Communications Commission may have picked his first big fight.

We talk with Tim Wu, professor of law at Columbia University and co-author of the book “Who Controls the Internet?: Illusions of a Borderless World.” We also speak to freelance tech journalist Eric Krangel.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
