Sprint now zero-rating some video, joining AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile

Sprint is now allowing some online video to be streamed without counting against customers' data caps, making it the fourth major wireless carrier in the US to implement data cap exemptions (or "zero-rating"). Sprint's first foray into zero-rating is for the Copa America Centenario soccer tournament being held in the US beginning June 3. Sprint has partnered with FuboTV, a soccer streaming service, to give customers access to every match if they sign up for a 60-day trial. Data streamed from FuboTV will not count against data caps during the tournament, but the zero-rating will end on June 27 right after the Copa America is over. Zero-rating plans are being scrutinized by the Federal Communications Commission.
