T-Mobile Still Doesn‘t Understand (Or Simply Doesn‘t Care) That Their ‚Music Freedom‘ Plan Tramples Net Neutrality

Back in June we noted how T-Mobile had unveiled a new „Music Freedom“ program that exempts the biggest music streaming companies from T-Mobile‘s usage caps. When introduced at the time, T-Mobile pitched the idea as a huge win for consumers, as you could listen to say — Spotify — without worrying about eroding your usage allotments. T-Mobile also insisted that if your favorite service isn‘t included, you can just Tweet T-Mobile to have it whitelisted for cap exemption. Sounds like a great deal for everybody, right?

Well, no.
