"Stanford Law School professor Barbara van Schewick in a paper published Jan. 29, concluded Binge On “violates key net neutrality principles and harms user choice, innovation, competition and free speech online.” Here’s a link to the complete paper.
“The program is likely to violate the [FCC’s] general conduct rule,” van Schewick wrote. “Binge On undermines the core vision of net neutrality: Internet service providers that connect us to the Internet should not act as gatekeepers that pick winners and losers online by favoring some applications over others. By exempting Binge On video from using customers’ data plans, T-Mobile is favoring video from the providers it adds to Binge On over other video.”"
