Sounds like a great idea...until Netflix jacks your bill up to cover the added cost of bandwidth.
AT&T’s new service, called Sponsored Data, works like a 1-800 number but for data. In theory, a company like Netflix Inc. could promote a new series by covering the cost of data that otherwise would count against a subscriber’s plan. Subscribers will see a logo that lets them know the content they’re accessing doesn’t count against their data plan, and sponsored data volumes will be broken out on their bills.
