Abstract: In this talk, I will give an overview of the current status of precision cosmology and highlight some of the unsolved problems that will impact the future research in CMB and radio astronomy. These include the cosmological parameter measurements, gravitational lensing and its measurements on neutrino mass, B-mode polarization, current constraints on inflation, and intergalactic medium. I will discuss the current measurements and their physical implication for the early Universe, and future prospects from radio astronomy measurement.
