Important article from Verge on how the idea of "unlimited" is morphing in the absence of net neutrality in exactly the way I and others predicted. Additional fees for new services (VZ charges an extra fee to get high quality video -- and you can only get it if you subscribe to one of the most expensive plans) and favoring your own content (AT&T zero rates its affiliated TW content, which matters because there is a limit on their "unlimited" after which you are de-prioritized (delayed when the network/cell site is congested). But even if you are being throttled due to congestion, your TW streaming won't be impacted. And if you stream TW content, you won't have to worry about hitting your de-prioritization limit.

How could that be bad?
