Unmetered access is currently subject of an official complaint in the Netherlands, brought by Bits of Freedom against T-Mobile. The case: T-Mobile offers unmetered access to streaming music services. Any music service is free to join, but certain requirements and a secrecy agreement must be met.Most recent development: the official watchdog, the Authority for Consumers and Markets, found in favour of T-Mobile’s practice because (a) it found that T-Mobile is not creating artificial barriers to services, and (b) it found that T-Mobile is not limiting the rights of either users or music services. Bits of Freedom has appealed, and the next step will be a court of justice.
