YouTube is accusing T-Mobile of interfering with its video traffic and delivering media to users at a lower quality, reports the WSJ.T-Mobile recently launched its Binge On program that delivers video at a lower quality in exchange for waiving data fees. However, it appears that the company is doing the same for all sites including those that aren’t part of the program.YouTube, which is owned by Alphabet Inc., said T-Mobile is effectively throttling, or degrading, its traffic. “Reducing data charges can be good for users, but it doesn’t justify throttling all video services, especially without explicit user consent,” a YouTube spokesman said.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here

A judge has completely dismissed a lawsuit that accused Apple of wiretapping Android users by intercepting and then failing to deliver texts sent from iPhones to Android phones.The three plaintiffs in the case, Joy Backhaut, Adam Backhaut, and Kenneth Morris, switched from iPhones to Android phones in 2012. After the switch, texts sent from iPhones weren’t being delivered to their Android phones.
