T-Mobile is working to give subscribers unlimited free Facebook video streaming

Facebook and T-Mobile US are working together to allow the social network to join Binge On, a program that lets T-Mobile customers watch mobile video from partner services without tapping their data plan.

The two companies have been working for some time, sources said, to add Facebook video to the list of services that T-Mobile supports. In exchange for the unlimited video streaming that comes with Binge On, customers agree to view video sent over the cellular network in less-than-HD quality. While T-Mobile has been open to including all interested parties in Binge On, it requires some technical work on the part of video services to make sure their video streams are identified to T-Mobile’s system. That work is still ongoing with Facebook, sources said.
