A Q&A With Tim Wu, Father of Net Neutrality, on What the FCC Should Do

A Q&A with Columbia Law School Professor Tim Wu. He is a former adviser to the Federal Trade Commission and, more recently, a candidate for Lt. Governor in New York. He has also offered informal advice to the Federal Communications Commission for more than a decade about how to handle Internet regulatory issues.

What’s the best path forward now on network neutrality? “I think that it’s been clear for a long time that the most straightforward and safest legal path is using Title II authority. I think that the time has come where Americans think of broadband as an essential service or necessity,” he said.
