Wheeler channels Bernie to regulate set-top boxes

It is all too clear who is running the FCC these days, and it’s not Chairman Wheeler.

The plan is to force cable and satellite providers to open up their boxes to other technology companies, allowing each customer “to use one for all of the video sources you use.”
