Comments on Specialized Services and Wireless in the Net Neutrality Debate

The Institute for Policy Integrity argues for a narrow definition of "specialized services" to prevent loopholes that could undermine net neutrality and advocates for applying neutrality rules to wireless services to avoid investment mismatches between wireless and wireline infrastructure.

• The author argues that any exemption for "specialized services" must be narrowly defined to prevent it from becoming a loophole for services that effectively replace content traveling over the neutral network.
• Applying net neutrality rules to broadband but not to wireless services could create a mismatch in investment incentives, where service providers favor wireless infrastructure while content developers favor broadband, potentially reducing the value of both networks for all stakeholders.
