Report: T-Mobile May Let Customers Stream Video Without Eating Into Their Data Plans
The Un-Carrier is reportedly going to announce that streaming video on apps like Netflix and HBO will no longer ding customers’ data plans, according to Tweet from tech journalist Evan Blass (h/t The Verge):
This is already the case for T-Mobile’s Music Freedom perk, which allows customers to stream music from Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play Music and Soundcloud without any effect on their data plans.
It’s unclear if only HBOGo and Netflix will be included in the reported new perk or if other services will also have punishment-free streaming. Again, at this point this is just the buzz around the water cooler — T-Mobile has yet to comment officially on the report. We’ll keep our ears open on Nov. 10, the date of T-Mobile’s Uncarrier X event.
