Will the Internet be taken over by corporate monopoly?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with with Tim Wu, author of The Master Switch: The Rise and Fall of Information Empires. Wu, who coined the term "net neutrality," says "The Master Switch" is the moment "a corporate power centralizes and takes control of society's latest technological medium." Is this already happening with the Internet? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. Why is it important to fight for a free and open Internet? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.

What's in store for the future of the open/free Internet?

On the next Your Call, we'll continue our Agenda for a New Economy series by talking about the recent Google-Verizon deal, which would allow Internet service providers to speed up access to some content while leaving the rest behind. How will this change the way you access the Internet and what does it mean for digital democracy? Does the deal mark the beginning of the end of the Internet as we know it? Can it be stopped? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar.
