FCC Queries AT&T, T-Mobile, Comcast Over Free Streaming

Here is another example of the government meddling in something that is working and good in an effort to quash it. People are happy, so the government is mad. Some carriers are offering free data usage, so the government is actually trying to stop it. They are trying to stop it in the name of "free, open and innovative" internet. So they are actually wanting to stop a free service in the name of making it free. That makes sense. So I guess if these carriers charge extra for data usage, the government will be just fine with that (all in the name of innovation). Just another example of government gone wild.

Not counting a service against a data cap has absolutely nothing to do with net neutrality, which seeks to ensure IP packets are delivered fairly and without respect to their contents. That means that we don't throttle one kind of traffic and allow another to continue. It means that we don't do deep packet sniffing to find out if we approve of the content. But it has NOTHING to do with what data counts against a data limit and what data doesn't. The FCC is off their rocker with this one.
