The Federal Communications Commission is set to begin hearings on the issue of ‘Net Neutrality’ on Thursday. At issue is whether broadband providers can charge big entertainment companies more to stream their content at faster speeds.

Lazaroff says one of the big questions is how much the FCC will consider broadband delivery more of a utility.
