ill explain this as simple as i can:

-we will pay a monthly fee, example: $55.99 to get a 500MB of basic data plan.

- then you can choose a package to get unlimited use of some apps split into categories. (so if youre a social media person, you can pay an extra $5.99 to get unlimited access to facebook, instagram, twitter, snapchat, etc.) (if youre a sports person, you get the sports package for 5.99 to browse espn, fantasy sports, sportsillustrated, etc)

- now imagine youre an OT lounger or a TigerRanter, there will be no package under "tigerdroppings"... so your use of tigerdroppings will count against the 500MB in your original package.

- all images and gifs will consume your data plan. every time you refresh an interesting OT drama page. more data. every time you refresh a game thread. more data. pretty soon youre using close to your data limit, so you either a) stop visiting TD altogether or you buy the next biggest package (750MB) for $75.99. what choice do you make?

and that is why it is so dangerous. It adds a barrier to consuming competitive services.

Well those numbers seem pretty shady to me.

NN doesn't have much to do with that either way....what does that is the regulation that already exists at the local level (city/county mostly). In fact in a complete competitive environment (which we don't have due to local regulation) NN would actually hurt companies trying to enter the market.
