Data limit exemptions
Print Edition
VERIZON is exempting its go90 mobile video service from data limits it imposes on most users.
Verizon spokeswoman Deidre Hart says the go90 business is paying the Verizon Wireless business for the data use “on the same terms as any third party” so that customers can watch shows and clips for free. It’s part of the “FreeBee” sponsored-data program that Verizon announced last month.
Consumer advocates say sponsoring data is problematic because it could draw consumers to bigger, established services that are able to pay for free access, at the expense of startups and smaller companies.
Verizon’s exemptions apply to customers who pay their cellphone bills at the end of the month — “postpaid” in industry jargon. Go90 video includes some full episodes of TV shows, original video and news and sports.
