09/05/2017: Ajit Pai on Congress’s role in the net neutrality debate
The central question of the net neutrality debate: how much regulation should there be over how providers of internet service deliver the stuff we consume online?

On today's show, new Marketplace Tech host Molly Wood asks Chairman Pai about whether it's time for Congress to come up with a solution.
