Watch videos on Verizon’s Go90 without affecting data cap 

While net neutrality is something that the FCC has been advocating to keep companies in line and not give preferential treatment for some specific content , some will of course find a loophole to get around this. Verizon’s newest offering is that you can watch all the streaming videos that you want without them counting it against your data allocation. But that is, if you will watch them only on Go90, the carrier’s mobile video service which carries content from several providers.

So basically, the update to the Go90 Android app now allows you to watch as many videos as you want for as long as you want, and it still won’t count against your LTE data limits. The on demand video service carries content from Comedy Central, DreamWorks TV, Nerdist, the NBA, etc. It’s still pretty limited for now, but it is still something. The semi-controversy is that some of the shows there are also available in other streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, etc, but if you watch them through any of those other apps, it will count towards your data cap.

T-Mobile also has something like that, called Binge On, although it does involve some video throttling. But both carriers have found a loophole in the net neutrality rules that were placed by the FCC last year by creating “zero-rating” services that are supposedly benefiting customers. But in the case of Verizon’s Go90, it may actually be just benefiting the carrier themselves.

If you don’t care about net neutrality and all, then you’ll still probably enjoy the fact that you can watch videos without eating up your data. You can update your Go90 app now, or if you don’t have the app yet and you’re a Verizon subscriber, you can download the app and start watching.
