For all the zero-rated services that Google and Facebook subsidize globally, they've actually become part of the problem.
It seems hypocritical for them to take a pro-net neutrality stance when they're funding the capture of entry-level mobile data plans.
- saghm 9y agoI might be wrong, but didn't the net neutrality regulations that were put into place before the current rule change allow zero-rating? A large part of the opposition to the rules change is that it allows paid prioritization, not just zero rating.
- matchagaucho 9y agoZero-rated services were the trojan horse that led to paid-prioritization. Both producers and consumers have already been conditioned to accept this new model.
