I’ve tried joining Stream On (the term for T-Mobile#s Binge On and Music Freedom outside the US), but the requirements are insane.

4 weeks before I make any changes to any service I run via Stream On, I need to inform T-Mobile, and they have to approve the changes, or can end Stream On immediately.

All Stream On content needs to run via separate hostnames, and has to transmit the hostname in cleartext.

I have to be using forms of adaptive streaming, the bandwidth will be limited during this so that the user at most will be able to watch 480p videos.

50'000 EUR fine for each violation from my side, no fines if T-Mobile just kicks me out.

And so on and so on. It’s ridiculous.

Give me a single form where I enter a URL, and it’ll be zero-rated – or don’t zero-rate anything.
