I don't have a problem with different types of content being treated differently. It's still a fair playing field for all providers of streaming music. I've always thought that carriers should be allowed to prioritize content based on it's type in order to keep their networks running optimally. The problem for me is when specific companies can be prioritized over others.

Bytes are bytes. Why should carriers be allowed to prioritize (or deprioritize) your data differently than other data?

  T-Mobile doesn't treat all music apps the same though. They only apply free streaming to their list of 27 app [1]. Depending on how fair they are to adding small companies to the list. this system is essentially prioritizing larger companies over smaller ones. http://www.t-mobile.com/offer/free-music-streaming.html http://www.t-mobile.com/offer/free-music-streaming.html

    It's prioritizing companies that apply to be included with their program over the ones that did not apply. It's free and open to any legal provider. Out of those 27, I've only ever heard of 11, which goes to show that they're not prioritizing big companies over smaller companies.
