> In other words, it wasn’t a net neutrality issue at all: it was an early prototype of what is known as “zero-rating.” I read and agree with most of what Ben writes but he is grossly wrong here. How is 'zero rating' not a net neutrality issue? He justifies it by saying 1) It is common across the world and 2) It helped mobile carrier industry to be competitive. On #1, some countries have banned 'zero rating'(e.g. India) under net neutrality laws. On #2, it was not only zero rating which helped T-Mobile and the industry to be competitive. It was primarily because of BYOD and getting rid of contracts when buying a new phone.
