Not sure if cell carriers are "common carriers", but I would think so.

T-Mobile also has this plan where video streaming is unlimited and does not
count against your data cap (if you have one; I have unlimited high-speed
data anyway for $20/mo).  Their video streaming exemption is free.

I love T-Mobile.  :)
