I hadn’t considered the impacts such a ruling would have on zero ratings schemes, the two hadn’t even connected in my mind, but now that it’s been mentioned it would clearly fall afoul of any existing regulations. There used to be a similar plan from Optus in Australia to zero rate Facebook, and there’s currently one to do the same with Spotify, but today these accompany generous data plans in general, whereas originally it was offered on very low cap plans such as the 100mb/mo plan. Curious to see how this plays out internationally in countries like Aus where this already occurs unchallenged, and whether they will now go further following the ruling in the U.S.
