"Regulators around the world, be it the FCC or TRAI, are grappling with the issue of Differential Pricing (Zero Rating is a special case of it) and whether it violates Net Neutrality or not. Some academic researchers have been warning for a while that it absolutely does, and it is pointless to talk about Net Neutrality without factoring in (differential) pricing. Barbara van Schewick has written a paperrecently detailing how T Mobile’s Binge On Zero Rating program violates Net Neutrality. In some circles however, if you say something with “Prof.” as your title, it is dismissed as mere academic speculation."
