What I want to know is: Why is this suddenly a problem now? It was already done when T-mobile made Pandora&#x2F;a few other music services not count against your data cap - everyone seemed happy about it then, and much of the press enthused over T-mobile&#x27;s innovativeness and daring.<p>It also bothers me that I haven&#x27;t seen any arguments that explain why this is bad in light of the fact that it&#x27;s supposed to be based on infrastructure requirements, rather than payments, company affiliation, or otherwise. Instead of being used to squeeze small guys out of the picture, it looks more like a platform for getting more exposure and traffic than you would otherwise. It doesn&#x27;t really pose a threat (except in slippery slope-esque situations) to the things that net neutrality claim to be protecting.<p>Can&#x27;t we all just be happy that, in a world of data caps, there&#x27;s a company trying to chip away at the things you have to choose between spending data on? Does everything REALLY have to be a direct threat to the internet? Admittedly, I&#x27;d much rather see &quot;no data caps ever&quot; (there are plans for that, and they are pretty cheap on t-mobile) but I&#x27;m generally against letting perfect get in the way of good.
