WASHINGTON (October 22, 2009)--Federal regulators took an important step Thursday toward prohibiting broadband providers from favoring or discriminating against certain kinds of Internet traffic.

Proponents say the rules would prevent phone and cable companies from abusing their control over the market for broadband access.
