Full Title or Meme

Internet Service providers introduced Zero pricing for some services to encourage usage.

Context

The free services were designed to:

  1. Encourage use of some promotional features,
  2. Get around the rules of Net Neutrality which is often mandated by local laws.

Problems

  • Whenever there is a difference in pricing between different service offerings, the users will attempt to make all of their traffic fit into the "free" pricing scheme.[1]
