zero-rating
thumb|Portuguese company MEO (Portugal)|MEO gives zero-rated access to their own service "MEO cloud". Even though it does not provide unlimited mobile data, it offers packages to give zero-rated access to other applications and services. Contrary to popular belief it does not prevent the usage of those applications while using the regular unused data, but instead offers packages where applications and services within the package are not counted towards the data consumed.
