"The internet has been hugely successful because it enables innovation, where all new internet applications receive the same network service as incumbents -- it's a level playing field," says Choffnes. "T-Mobile’s policy gives special treatment to video providers that work with them. What if every ISP did this, but in a different way? In such a world, the next Netflix, Hulu, or Pied Piper might never get off the ground because keeping up with ISPs and their policies would leave them chasing their tails."
"If you just substitute 'video' in for 'VoIP,' it's pretty clear that the FCC's intent was to prevent discriminatory throttling, even if the user could pay to avoid it," Gillula told Ars. "In other words, the FCC (and EFF) are just fine with ISPs offering different tiers of service, as long as the tiers don't discriminate against different types of content. But that's precisely what T-Mobile is doing here—discriminating against data based on its content."
T-Mobile is violating the Net Neutrality framework put in place by the FTC. It has conveniently redefined common terms to suit its own agenda and skirt the Net Neutrality rules since the introduction of its Binge On streaming loophole, but the latest “unlimited” data plans are a brazen challenge. It’s almost like T-Mobile CEO John Legere is intentionally crossing the line, looking the FCC in the eye, and saying, “What are you going to do about it?”
If you're one of these mega-merged companies, it feels like a obvious thing: Why not give preferred access to HBO or DC Comics to your customers?

Well, thanks to Net Neutrality — the primary purpose of which is to draw a line around such anticompetitive practices — that generally doesn't happen. The whole issue became dicey a couple of years ago in an epic struggle between Comcast and Netflix (among others), which culminated in the FCC's Open Internet Order of 2015, which now generally forbids the more egregious violations of Net

ネットワーク中立と通信の秘密は違うのでは?
というか、AT&Tやベライゾンも同様のサービスで追従するみたいですけど?
訴訟騒ぎは起こっているのですか?
