The Journal quoted Netflix as saying it had limited its videos
to most wireless carriers across the globe, capping them at 600
kiliobits-per-second, to "protect consumers from exceeding
mobile data caps." The company also said that it does not
throttle videos for T-Mobile US Inc and Sprint Corp users
because they had "more consumer friendly policies," the Journal
reported. "We're outraged to learn that Netflix is apparently
throttling video for their AT&T customers without their
knowledge or consent," Jim Cicconi, AT&T senior executive vice
president of external and legislative affairs wrote in an email.
