Vodafone and DT all-you-can-watch video deals violate EU rules – top court

The European Union’s highest court ruled on Thursday that all-you-can-watch video products offered by Vodafone (LON:VOD) and Deutsche Telekom (DE:DTEGn) in Germany violated the bloc’s rules on roaming and net neutrality.

“‘Zero tariff’ options are contrary to the regulation on open internet access,” the European Court of Justice said in a two-page ruling made after two German courts sought its opinion on the matter.

“It follows that limitations on bandwidth, tethering or on use when roaming…are also incompatible with EU law.”
