The Bellevue, Washington, company is billing Binge On as a win for consumers. But it also raises the question of whether this sets up wireless service providers as app gatekeepers, which could in the long run inhibit the creation of new services and limit consumer choices. “In the short term, it might be benefiting some consumers,” said Matt Wood, policy director at the consumer advocacy group Free Press. “But the fact that they’re willing to do this at all calls into question why there’s a data cap if T-Mobile can give exemptions to whole categories of applications.”
