Two Times Wu

Prof. Tim Wu is twice-quoted in today’s New York Times. First, in Cellphone Straitjacket Is Inspiring a Rebellion, he explains why the cell phone market is ready to change: “On a personal level, the phone feels more like property. Once you start to make it yours, you feel like you have more rights to it.”

Second, the Times considers Will Success, or All That Money From Google, Spoil Firefox? Wu comments, “We’re living in a cold war between open and closed systems, and Google is happy to lend support to entities that it sees as allies.”
