The above is about fraud.

A web site provides a video stream. The average user accesses that
with a web browser as he/she would do on a number of other web
sites. There isn't any information on the web site about payment or
any applicable fee.

 From https://www.emtel.com/airbox

   "To surf at speeds like never before on your favourite websites,
watch videos,
    download movies and music and so much more."

Is Emtel encouraging the user to commit an offence?
