"Controversy has followed T-Mobile's Binge On since launch, with many, including Stanford lawyer Barbara van Schewick, stating that the program violates net neutrality.
"A core principle of net neutrality is that ISPs should not pick winners and losers online by favoring some applications over others," stated van Schewick. "But that’s exactly what Binge On does. Customers have a greater incentive to watch videos that are included in Binge On than those that are excluded. As a result, providers in the program can be more successful than providers that T-Mobile leaves out.""
