"“Net neutrality doesn’t allow Internet service providers to pick winners and losers, and if we look at T-Mobile’s plan as it is now, it will clearly distort the market for video streaming,” said Barbara van Schewick, a law professor at Stanford University and a proponent of the new rules.
Still, an offer of unlimited streaming of some — but not all — video services could ultimately harm customers, van Schewick said.
Startups and nonprofits without the resources of large companies such as Netflix, she said, will not necessarily have the resources to meet the technical requirements. And studies show that when zero rating plans are offered, consumers overwhelmingly choose those services, she said."
