Perfect is the enemy of good. Because one thing is a bit iffy, let's throw the whole regulation out?
BingeOn initially had opposition, until T-Mobile gave customers option to disable it, and also opened it up so anyone who satisfied requirements (in particular had streaming that quality adapted to the bandwidth) could join for free.
Honestly I would support FCC stepping in and said that this can't be done even though I'm T-Mobile customer.
I don't find net neutrality regulations to be "good". The saving grace for me would be if they did block companies like T-Mobile from zero rating, but they don't. And not only that, but Title II actually currently exempts ISPs from FTC regulation, which is horrendous.
This isn't a "perfect is the enemy of good", this is "I can't really find an upside to what everyone is advocating for".
And Binge On being disablable doesn't solve the primary issue with zero rating: It provides consumers and incentive to stick with the big companies over the new guys, who probably can't necessarily cut a deal with T-Mo. It creates a strange gate for newcomers to get through, even if they do allegedly "allow anyone to join". (Because it isn't just a checkbox, T-Mo throttles Binge On content, effectively.)
