T-Mobile adds 14 new services to Binge On while pushing back against net neutrality criticism

<p>
T-Mobile is tacking on 14 new streaming services to its popular, yet controversial, Binge On program. </p><p>
The nation’s third-largest carrier now has a total of 38 apps (http://www.t-mobile.com/offer/binge-on-streaming-video.html?cmpid=WMM_PR_Q415BNGONU_8YK70SL0NM13053) on board, including powerhouses like Netflix, Hulu, and WatchESPN. The new members are:</p><ul>
<li>A&amp;E</li>
<li>Lifetime</li>
<li>History</li>
<li>PlayStation Vue</li>
<li>Tennis Channel Anywhere</li>
<li>FuboTV</li>
<li>Kidoodle TV</li>
<li>Curiosity Stream</li>
<li>Fandorli&gt;</li>
<li>Newsy</li>
<li>ODK Media</li>
<li>Lifetime Movie Club</li>
<li>FYI</li>
</ul>
<p>
The program, which allows you to stream from the approved services without eating into your high-speed data cap, has come under some fire from privacy groups. The Electronic Frontier Foundation recently tested Binge On (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/01/eff-confirms-t-mobiles-bingeon-optimization-just-throttling-applies) and concluded T-Mobile has simply started throttling all video services, regardless of whether or not they’re signed up for the program.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3019862/carriers/t-mobile-adds-14-new-services-to-binge-on-while-pushing-back-against-net-neutrality-criticism.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
