More Video Providers Added to T-Mobile's Binge On Lineup
T-Mobile's Binge On customers can now stream video from more than 100 video services without touching their high-speed data bucket, T-Mobile said Tuesday in a news release. Subscribers have already streamed more than 765 million hours of video using the zero-rated Binge On service, the carrier said. ABC, Apple Music, the Big Ten Network, Dish Anywhere and the Disney Channel are among the providers now participating in Binge On, T-Mobile said. The FCC is investigating whether the service violates net neutrality rules (see 1604260054). T-Mobile cited comments from a number of smaller video providers happy to be part of Binge On. “We want our programming and the opportunity to watch the programming easily in front of as many people as possible,” said David Moffly, CEO of Baeble Media. “Binge On removes one of the significant negative barriers everyone encounters when viewing video on their mobile devices -- ‘How much of my data plan is this going to chew up?’”
