The Federal Communications Commission voted Thursday to start the
controversial process of reclassifying high-speed Internet access to
give the agency more authority over service providers to prevent
disparate treatment of customers.

The commission voted 3-2 along party lines to put out for public comment
a new regulatory framework, dubbed the Third Way, that would make
Internet service providers subject to some of the same nondiscrimination
rules that apply to telephone companies.

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski has been a vocal supporter of requiring
Internet providers to treat all similar Web traffic equally, an issue
known as net neutrality.
