Currently there is no regulations in place allowing High-speed internet service providers to create and "express way" "pipeline" for websites who are willing to pay higher fees for quicker access to their websites by internet consumers. Internet companies are trying to lobby congress to allow them to regulate which website gets the faster data transfer speed based on fees they'll pay to the provider. This creates two internet gateways. One slow path for regular internet websites and one fast path for high paying website clients. Should the providers be allowed this regulatory legislation or should the internet remain equal access by websites as it is today? (meaning the providers don't determine who gets priority speed, but all websites are transfered equally regardless of prominence, capital or content)
