Besides India, Zero-rating has recently began being abused by mobile providers in the EU as a workaround to net neutrality laws. Apparently the 2015 law left a gray area and many mobile data plans now include a number of zero-rated websites.

It didn’t leave a gray area if you pay extra you can avoid data caps on specific services e.g Spotify I don’t see how this has an impact on net neutrality.

To an extent, it does in the US as well (T-mobile zero-rates Netflix, Youtube, HBO, etc.)

I don't think they offer those plans any more.
