Former FCC chairman Reed Hundt signaled Wednesday he thinks the FCC is going to have to allow some form of zero rating plans. Asked about the FCC’s current investigation into zero rating plans under its network neutrality general conduct standard, Hundt said he thought the FCC was going to have to decide that people—in this case broadband providers carving out services from usage-based pricing plans—are going to be allowed to give things away for free. “Being against free is not very popular,” he added.
