T-Mobile can continue data-free music streaming service: court

T-Mobile's data free music bundle does not violate net neutrality regulations, the court of Rotterdam ruled on Thursday. The telecom company turned to court after the Dutch Authority for Consumer and Market ordered T-Mobile to suspend the service in December. According to the ACM, data free music streaming is in violation of Dutch net neutrality, making it detrimental for competition among internet services. While zero-rating - certain services falling outside data bundles - is not allowed by Dutch law, it is by the European rules on net neutrality.
