It&#x27;s not about peering.<p>In return for zero rating the video data for the video providers in the BingeOn program, they agree to serve video with a fixed highest bitrate, which saves on tower spectrum (which is far more important than whatever bandwidth consumption T-Mobile is experiencing at its peering points).<p>This makes sense. If you&#x27;re a consumer who doesn&#x27;t care about the bitrate being limited (assuming the highest bitrate is based on mobile device screen resolution), its not a problem. You get decent video quality on your device, T-Mobile doesn&#x27;t have to work as hard at network management. If you want to opt out for whatever reason, there is a toggle switch to do so.<p>Its a clever solution to limited last-mile mobile connectivity.
