The Internet providers are like the pipes. They create the infrastructure that carries the content to your computer. AT&T Comcast Time Warner Verizon 5 Introduction

The web content providers are the companies that provide the water that flows through these pipes. Their survival depends on being able to use these pipes to get to your computer. 6 Introduction

The amount of content (water) is growing faster than the infrastructure (pipes), so the pipes jam up, and the Internet slows down. 7 Introduction

As the Internet slows down, some web content companies (water) feel like they should be able to pay the providers (pipes) for faster service, so their water will flow through the pipes first. 8 Introduction
