FCC To Monitor T-Mobile’s Net Neutrality Threat

The FCC has said it will be watching T-Mobile closely after the communications firm announced a new effort to exempt video from its wireless data caps to promote innovation and competition. Under T-Mobile’s plan, called Binge On, traffic from 24 streaming video services will be exempt from the caps associated with most wireless plans. Critics have said the plan violates the spirit of the FCC’s new net neutrality rules, passed earlier this year. “This is a general conduct rule issue,” FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said.
