Network neutrality, phone unlocking make Obama's 'year in review'

President Barack Obama's recommendations on network neutrality and a new cellphone unlocking law made the White House's list of highlights from 2014. The two technology-focused items were featured on the White House's "2014: A year in review", along with nearly 20 other "historic accomplishments," "economic milestones" and "behind-the-scenes moments."

President Obama writing a line of code with students during Computer Science Education Week also made the list, as did President Obama sitting for pictures that formed the basis of the first 3D-printed bust of a president. The White House touted a cellphone unlocking law as the first time the White House petition website spurred a legislative fix. The bill, signed by President Obama in August, reversed a ruling that blocked customers from keeping their phones when they switched providers.
