There is a long-standing debate among users of “new media” and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) about so-called “net neutrality” the idea that no-one should control the Internet). Both sides claim to uphold what they call "Internet freedom", but it appears they have diverging views of exactly which is meant by freedom but it appears they have diverging views of exactly which is meant by freedom in this context.
For supporters of neutral, Internet freedom means equal,
affordable access for whatever online applications and content
they choose. In contrast, the ISPs say a
free Internet means that the industry should be
unimpeded by government oversight and that high- speed
connections should be available for anyone who
can afford it.
The debate is over
grown with so many technical jargon that it hasn't
attracted widespreading attention, but what's at stake are nothing less than the future
of the Internet. The issue, essentially, is whether
financial corporations become gatekeepers of online
content and traffic, or whether small independent organisations
can access the new technology without restrictions.
Whichever way it goes, the outcome is likely to change the whole of popular
culture.

Explanations:
(1) It needs an adjective,
not a gerund: divergent paths ~ divergent views ~ divergent opinions.
(2) "Of" is
usually followed by a gerund or a noun. Neutral is an an adjective of
neutrality.
(3) Access (to
something): the opportunity or right to use something or to see
somebody/something.
Ex: You need a security code to get access to the computer system.
(4) Them refers to
high-speed connections.
(5) much + an
uncountable noun (technical
jargon)
(6) "Attention"
needs an accountable adjective to modifies/describes it.
Structure: A/an + adjective + noun.
(7) Subject: what's at stake + singular verb
