zero-rating
Free data passage
Zero-rating is the practice of allowing access to certain internet content without counting it against a user's data cap.
Mobile carriers might zero-rate streaming services or social media apps to attract customers: Facebook is zero-rated on this plan.
Critics argue it undermines net neutrality by favoring some content over others.
