I have been reading The Master Switch Tim Wu for a few days now. It gives great insight on to how past "information empires" relate to what's happening today.
Wu originated the term "net neutrality" and will now work with the Federal Trade Commission's Office of Policy and Planning.
“As I discuss in the book, Steve Jobs has the charisma, vision and instincts of every great information emperor,” Mr. Wu said in the interview. “The man who helped create the personal computer 40 years ago is probably the leading candidate to help exterminate it. His vision has an undeniable appeal, but he wants too much control.”
