T-Mobile USA is planning to add Facebook video to its Binge On zero-rated service that lets T-Mobile customers watch mobile video from partner services (including Netflix, HBO and ESPN) without tapping their data plan.
The two companies are still working out technical integrations to allow Facebook’s video streams are identified to T-Mobile's system, sources said. Facebook has been working on its video bona fides, with the addition in the spring of new features for its Facebook Live functionality that make the offering more broadcast-like.
Facebook Live is aimed squarely at digital-mobile natives, allowing users to take a video with an iPhone or Android device and share it instantly, essentially allowing live streaming.
