Net neutrality:
With the growth of data-hungry services such as Netflix, Skype and Spotify, some Internet service providers say they should be allowed to give priority to some traffic over others. The FCC is expected to make a decision on the matter in 2015. President Barack Obama has said Internet providers should be regulated more like public utilities to make sure they grant equal access to all content providers. This touched off intense protests from cable television and telecommunications companies as well Republican lawmakers.
