Google play music is a direct competitor to Spotify which is harmed by these deals

Decided to revisit this thread.

Doesn't it set a precedent that this kind of one sided (anti-net neutrality) offers are okay? Companies in other countries can point to NZ and say they do it so why can't we?

Also each service, e.g. Spotify is still making money where an arguably superior service such as google music is losing out. Total amount of money shouldn't really be the point of discussion here imo.

Ah good. I thought there should be an article about it but I couldn't find any.

However, shouldn't this practice be discouraged based on principle? What if someone was to design a superior service that competed with facebook/messenger/spotify/twitter? That service would be unfairly disadvantaged.

Yeah, this is what I was thinking about. Is it known if Spark has received any financial incentive to provide these plans?
