AT&T expands ‘sponsored data’ to prepaid plans

The Verge --------- AT&T has expanded its “sponsored data” program to cover customers on its prepaid wireless plans, offering them the ability to stream content from select partners without counting toward their data cap. The program was previously available to postpaid customers, but it now seems to apply to most AT&T wireless users. While the program is in some ways a benefit to AT&T’s subscribers, the policy flies in the face of basic tenets of net neutrality. By offering some services for free and not others, AT&T gives a huge advantage to those apps and companies, because its customers will be much more likely to use them than competitors they’d have to give up data to use.
