3 ways your wireless service will change under the FCC's net neutrality rules

Here are some of the features and arbitrary limitations your wireless carrier puts on you that could change or go away altogether under a Title II-driven regime.

1) T-Mobile Music Freedom: it exempts streaming music services from data caps. Under the FCC's proposed new rules, so-called zero-rating services like Music Freedom wouldn't be outright banned, but they'd be examined on a "case-by-case basis," says a senior FCC official.

2) Bandwidth Throttling: There is a loophole -- throttling would be disallowed "on the basis of content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices," which means that customers on capped plans might still be subject to throttling, but targeting specific customers with unlimited plans for using Verizon's fungible definition of "too much" data would almost certainly run afoul of FCC guidelines.

3) Sponsored Data: When asked whether sponsored data constitutes "paid prioritization" -- a notion unambiguously disallowed under Open Internet rules -- an FCC official's response was very clear: "Yes, it would," he said. As with almost every aspect of the proposed regulation, though, there are plenty of exceptions backstopped by a commission that is keen on taking possible violations on a case-by-case basis.
