T-Mobile just boosted music streaming apps with free data for users

John Legere announced major changes to the way the company calculated its data plan at T-Mobile’s Uncarrier 5.0 event on Wednesday night. With “Music Freedom, select music streaming services will no longer be counted towards music streaming data.”

Previously, all data in excess of the allotted plan was throttled, with options to temporarily upgrade. With the new free data, T-Mobile is selecting which companies to share its wealth of free music data: Pandora, iTunes Radio, iHeartRadio, Slacker, Spotify, Samsung’s Milk service, and Rhapsody. Note, Rdio is missing from the list.
