Crusading law prof Tim Wu — who coined the term "Network Neutrality" and literally wrote the book on telcoms, corruption, and networks as a force for corruption or liberation — has a new gig: he's "Senior Enforcement Counsel and Special Advisor" to the New York Attorney General, and he's on the warpath.

First up is Time Warner Cable, a company that provides excellent services at a reasonable price said no one ever. Wu and the AG office distributed open source network monitoring service to New Yorkers and produced a dataset showing, to the third decimal place, just how terrible Time Warner's Internet offering is. He's written them a blazing open letter laying out the problems that they've documented and asking what Time Warner's going to do about it.

Wu shot my dwarf in the back with a crossbow when we were in elementary school together in Toronto, but with this towering and powerful invective, he has redeemed himself at last. All is forgiven, Tim.
