Yep, there's a reason that's legal under net neutrality laws:

- If you need to block streaming video because that's the only way your public WiFi on trains is going to work, iirc you can do that without any legal issues.

- If you zero-rate music services as a marketing stunt, go ahead, but then you shall zero-rate all music services. (Still seems annoying, as a music service, to go around the world and apply to every ISP offering this (i.e. it still makes it slightly harder for newcomers), but I guess it's not unreasonable.)

Not sure. The old Dutch ones certainly didn't, but after t-mobile didn't care and went to the ECJ, Dutch laws were brought in line with European ones and this is what we have now.
