Thanks for providing this perspective... It sounds like most people who are complaining about the Binge On service either:
1) Pay for Unlimited data and thus don't need to manage their data usage to avoid overage.
2) Don't use video services enough on their phones to hit their data cap, and thus don't need to manage their data usage to avoid overage.
For a fully voluntary service that was loudly promoted and can be turned off, it sounds like this implementation is a worthy trade-off for people who would rather not pay for extra data.
It was unilaterally turned on because most people will likely not notice the difference and will simply reap the benefit of less data used (while letting TMO optimize their network usage). Those who do can investigate and deactivate it at will.
This sounds remarkably close to win-win-win to me...
