John Legere has done more to bring freedom of choice to the U.S. Except, this is more like an episode of Bozo vs. There's nothing like a so-called fight-for-the-people organization taking on big business to rally sympathizers. "Why are you stirring up so much trouble, and who pays you?" The smarmy protector of so-called Internet values responded with a campaign to " tell T-Mobile's CEO about EFF", bolstered by hashtag #AskJohn.ĮFF has fun and generates publicity at John Legere's expense. "Who the fuck are you EFF?" Good question. T-Mobile's CEO wonders who is EFF, too? Hours after posting the video, he answered questions on Twitter, where he was none too polite asking about the organization. Looks to me like EFF wants to take away my freedom to watch more mobile video. Whose bullshit are you going to binge on? T-Mobile's, or EFF's and Google's? What is it with that organization name, by the way? Electronic Frontier Foundation? Frontier of what? The connotations are some brave, new world pioneer paving the way-eh, building a foundation-to a better future. However, video quality is downgraded (sorry, no 4K to smartphone for you)-and that applies to non-Binge On partners, like YouTube. Simply stated: Customers watch partner sites' video streams for free, without data consumption being applied to their monthly allotment. The centerpiece of this spittle-fest is Binge On, which the Magenta carrier turned on in mid-November. "Who the Hell do they think they are? What gives them the right to dictate what my customers or any wireless consumer can choose for themselves?" I wonder, too. "We give our customers more choices, and these jerks are complaining?" Legere blasts.

He also supported repealing net neutrality and was at the forefront of T-Mobile’s recent announcement of a series of initiatives it promises to push through if the merger with Sprint is approved.John Legere waved his magic spin-control wand today, following accusations from Google and the EFF-that's Electronic Frontier Foundation to you, Bud-that the cellular carrier throttles video streams in violation of Net Neutrality rules. In a video, T-Mobile's CEO calls the throttling accusations a "game of semantics" and "bullshit". The latter’s time as CEO will be remembered for the things we noted above, as well as for going to great lengths to win support from the Trump administration for the merger with Sprint, for pushing back against some of the consumer practices that are decidedly unfriendly like packing bills with hidden fees. Of course, the truth is never so neat as conventional wisdom would suggest, though current T-Mobile president and COO Mike Sievert nevertheless has a big role to fill when he succeeds Legere next year. “Together, these attributes have distinguished T-Mobile in the marketplace and on Wall Street, giving us a powerful business advantage that is instilled throughout every level of T-Mobile.” “I am extremely proud of the culture and enthusiasm we have built around challenging the status quo and our ongoing commitment to putting customers first,” reads part of a statement Legere released about his departure next year. Since Christmas is almost upon us, why not check out that video again, since it’s as good a representation as any of how unconventional Legere’s time as CEO has been:
