I think as long as T-mobile isn't charging the video services actual money, the degree of concern goes way down for me. If money changes hands, then the Tmobile would be effectively hiding end customer costs into the structure of another service, making end customer market choices more convoluted, reducing customer market freedom and giving smaller companies an artificial financial disadvantage.
Since they aren't charging, there's this hurdle of having to do things to confirm the the specs of the program, but there's already all sorts of technical/marketing things that small companies need to do to access expanded customer bases. As long as they can make clean tradeoffs valuing Binge On conformance against other choices that seems not as inherently terrible - especially since in the end, mobile is a market where people have better choices then say the last-mile home broadband market.

Drugs aren't bad, as long as they are free :) Of course T-Mobile wants everybody to think that it's a good thing that they are acting as anti-competitive gatekeepers. As long as they don't explicitly charge for it.
