Wu is on Obama's FCC now, so we can hope he's a loud voice in the President's ear about why these bills are so dangerous.</p>
<p>They could lead to the very consolidation and control of communications that happened in US telephony, radio, broadcast TV, and cable. Each of them had a "wild frontier era" too.</p>
