Network neutrality expected to pass, investment analyst says

Investment analyst Rebecca Arbogast believes proposed network neutrality rules, now being considered in private deliberation by members of the Federal Communications Commission, will be approved with some tweaks.

Arbogast, a Stifel Nicolaus analyst, said Commissioners Michael Copps and Mignon Clyburn won't likely push for rules that redefine broadband as a telecom service but will argue to beef up some provisions including stronger wireless rules, limits or bans on paid priority delivery of content, and clear definitions for what services are covered in the rules.
