    Funny thing is the FCC said Binge On was fine. Despite that T Mobile scrapped it anyway and instead introduced an 'all unlimited' service, which instead throttles all video to 480p - you can upgrade from that for $25 a month. If Net Neutrality had stayed and the FCC had ruled that throttling video violated the principles even though zero rating did not, T Mobile would be in deep shit

    https://www.fiercewireless.com...

    But, as Recon Analytics' Roger Entner points out, a 6 GB plan on T-Mobile with all zero-rated streaming is a "de facto unlimited plan," and one that costs less than T-Mobile One, which starts at $70 per month. Without the $50 intro tier that got so many customers through T-Mobile's doors, Entner fears that the "entry level breaks away" for T-Mobile.

    Entner said this could become even more problematic considering that Sprint just introduced its own unlimited plan that undercuts T-Mobile's plan by $20/month for two lines.

    But the real potential red flag for T-Mobile One is the $25 upcharge to upgrade video quality from T-Mobile's standard 480p resolution to HD video.

    With Binge On, 480p video was positioned as a more than acceptable resolution for smaller screens. Now, with T-Mobile One, 480p resolution looks more like an entry level option that can be upgraded.

    "You're treating different traffic differently. If AT&T or Verizon did this, the FCC would slap them down in a heartbeat," said Entner. "I think carriers should be able to do what T-Mobile is doing. But all of them should be able to do it."

    Indeed, while FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has promised to keep a close watch on sponsored data programs from AT&T and Verizon, he's praised T-Mobile offerings like Binge On as "innovative."

    But if Wheeler changes his tune in light of T-Mobile's new plan, it could be problematic for the Uncarrier.

    "If the FCC says you can't force people onto 480p, [T-Mobile] is in trouble," said Entner. "Because the data usage will go through the roof."

    If T-Mobile customers could suddenly access HD or even 4K video and not worry about data usage, that could result in data consumption on the network going five-fold for HD or even 12-fold for 4K.

    "It would bring the network to its knees," said Entner.

    The problem I see it is fat, bovine consumers demanding their videos all be in 1080p on their mobile phone where even 360p is fune and data usage be uncapped. They're the sort of people who eat themselves into a Porterhouse Blue at a 'all you can eat' buffet in order to assert their absolute right to unlimited stuff for a fixed price.

    All T Mobile are doing now is making people use small plates so they don't take as much food per trip to the buffet and thus don't drive T Mobile into bankruptcy. If you had Net Neutrality the FCC might denounce small plates as being contrary to the Holy Principles Of Net Neutrality and demand that T Mobile go bust.

    And yet what does Net Neutrality even mean, if selectively zero rating some providers is OK but throttling all video equally regardless of provider may not be?

    Luckily for T Mobile net Neutrality was something that went away when Wheeler stopped being head of the FCC.

    I used to use the T Mobile Walmart plan when I was in the US, but it seems like they've stopped it

    People complain when I mention Tulip Mania, so instead I will tell a joke

    Jeremy Sloan asked his son Michael what he'd like for his upcoming sixth birthday. Michael said he wanted a hamster, so Jeremy visited the local pet shop and found the perfect hamster. The little guy was in the peak of health, so he bought it on the spot. He also bought a cage with a wheel, some food and a water bottle. As he was paying for the birthday present, the store owner said, "Any problems whatsoever, just come back here. I live right above the shop and I'll help you out any time you want."

    Jeremy put the hamster and cage in his car and drove home. He left them in there until his son had gone to bed so that he wouldn't see them when he brought them in. Michael's birthday was the next day, so Jeremy got up early to wrap the presents and to check on the hamster. He was horrified to see the hamster was dead at the bottom of the cage; it's legs stiff in the air. He knew his son would be distraught as the boy had talked about nothing else for weeks. Quickly, Jeremy put on his coat and drove round to the pet shop and knocked on the owner's door. He explained the problem and the owner was quite understanding and gave Jeremy a new hamster, refusing payment for it

    Jeremy asked, "What can I do with the old one? I don't want to bury it as the cat may dig it up and I don't want to throw it away in case my son sees it in the bin"

    The shop owner replied, "What I do is mix up a strong sugar solution - about 1.5 kg of sugar to a litre of water. Bring that to a boil and then add the hamster. Simmer it about two hours, stirring periodically. It makes quite a nice jam."

    Jeremy looked a little bewildered, but says thank you and raced back home. He gave the new hamster to Michael who was absolutely thrilled with it. He dashed off to play with it the rest of the day. Jeremy decided it was a good time to get rid of the dead hamster, so he tries the pet shop owner's recipe. He finds the sugar in the pantry and brings the water to a boil. After a couple hours, the mixture has become jam-like so Jeremy takes a spoonful, blows on it till it's cooler, and tastes it. It's absolutely disgusting. He's so revolted that he throws the rest of it out the kitchen window, into the flower bed below

    A couple days later, Jeremy noticed that daffodils were springing up under his kitchen window, right where he tossed that awful concoction. "That's odd", he thinks to himself, "I've never had daffodils before"

    Next day, his son asks him to take him to the pet shop to get some more food for his hamster. So Jeremy and Michael go to the store, and while Michael is looking at new hamster toys, the owner asks Jeremy, "Did you try that recipe I gave you?"

    "Yes, but it tasted so awful that I threw it out the window. Odd thing is, I've got daffodils springing up there now."

    "Daffodils?" asked the store owner, "Are you sure? You usually get tulips from hamster jam.
