Verizon became the third wireless provider to offer select content that doesn’t count against monthly data caps. Is this fair to everyone?
Anyone even remotely following technology news in recent weeks probably caught the firestorm between some advocates of net neutrality (no special preference for content providers) and T-Mobile’s self-described “foul mouthed” CEO, John Legere. At issue is whether T-Mo’s Binge On program, which exempts certain content from eating into customers’ data buckets, gives those video providers an unfair advantage over video sources that don’t participate in the program. AT&T also has a cap-exempt data program, called “Sponsored Data,” though it has only four obscure companies participating.
