I&#x27;m going to guess that the reason he&#x27;s saying it&#x27;s not throttling is because that&#x27;s the explanation he&#x27;s been given by his engineering team.  Or he said &quot;let&#x27;s optimize video in a way that isn&#x27;t throttling.&quot;<p>He&#x27;s calling it semantics because of Dunning-Kruger.  Because he doesn&#x27;t really know how any of this works, but his ego is so big Superman couldn&#x27;t lift it, he inflates his surface understanding to expert level.<p>Tmo should publish a spec that allows any provider to meet their definition of optimized video and therefore qualify for binge on.  I&#x27;m totally fine with it as long as they don&#x27;t get to choose who gets unlimited streaming.<p>As it is, and as a current tmo customer, this is eye opening.  Tmo had always seemed to be the voice of reason in American wireless.  What they did with contracts was a massive step in the right direction.<p>But this makes it look like they don&#x27;t actually get it.  They just happened to accidentally get a few things right.
