Burger King do Brasil may raise as much as 2.5 billion reais ($770 million) in its initial public offering if the shares are sold at the top of the target price range of 14.5 to 18 reais, according to O Estado de Sao Paulo.

An unlikely voice has joined the passionate debate over Internet regulation known as net neutrality: Burger King. 

The fast-food chain released a nearly three-minute video on YouTube that portrays the downside of being asked to pay more for speedier service. In it, customers at a Los Angeles restaurant impatiently wait at the counter for Whoppers while others who, they are told, had paid more, received faster service.
