Except there’s no revenue share here. According to T-Mobile, the streaming partners aren’t paying anything to T-Mo and T-Mo isn’t paying them.
In Canada, Vidéotron has begun a similar scheme for streaming music. It is currently at the CRTC. They also claimed that the setting up of the scheme with a music streaming partner involved no money exchange. They provided a contract. This contract was 1 page. yes, large incumbent wireless/cable carrier with large legal departments signs a 1 page contract.... This page dealth with which IP addresses from the music streaming service would be zero rated by the carrier. Yet, their advertising uses logos from the handful of music services they have accepted. Permission to use such logos was not included in that 1 page contract which means that there would be a separate contract, not related to zero rating which would deal with co-marketing and whatever else.
