Congress Is Selling Out the Internet A bill moving quickly through Congress would let these companies become Internet gatekeepers, deciding which Web sites go fast or slow -- and which won't load at all -- based on who pays them more. The rest of us will be detoured to the "slow lane," clicking furiously and waiting for our favorite sites to download....

The bill will now sit idle for 2 weeks while the Congress is in recess, and come before the Full Energy & Commerce committee in late April or early May....
