The OP's message includes this quoted request from the head of MetaBroadcast:

"Additionally, please limit each call you make to a maximum of 24
hours of data."

As you rightly point out, that text is not in the currently-available
Terms and Conditions.

However, if the CEO of the upstream data service asks politely to stop
doing something, it might seem prudent to honour his wishes before
end-users start getting cut off and the UserAgent blacklisted.

Cheers,
Nick

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
