"In New Jersey, DSA Capital appears to have played a role in selecting a company called Wireless Generation for a $500,000 contract to help develop New Jersey’s failed Race to the Top application AND THEN DSA Capital ended up as a subcontractor to Wireless Generation on that very contract."
Who owns Wireless Generation?
Murdoch-Owned Wireless Generation's Contract Should Be Scratched, Teachers' Union Leaders Write:
Murdoch acquired 90 percent of Wireless Generation for about $360 million last November. At the time of the acquisition, Murdoch said he saw K-12 education as a "$500 billion sector." Murdoch's first general move in the education sector had come just a few weeks earlier, when he tapped Joel Klein, then the chancellor of New York City's schools, to lead his education ventures.
The Wireless Generation contracts were approved while Klein still ran the district, leading to speculation about the chancellor's intentions.
"While he was chancellor of New York City, he [Klein] was funneling money to the work of this company, Wireless Generation," Mulgrew said in an interview. "Then Rupert Murdoch buys the company, and Joel Klein takes a job there. Something's not right."
