Stand by Net Neutrality. Save the Internet in India.

[RocketSingh]

Seems recently Telcos are now threatening to increase the tariffs for those plans. Just read this article where they are now proposing to increase the tariffs six folds seeing their initial plan failing

They are trying to create counter pressure. If competition does not bring the price down then we should think about implementing Internet Balloon.

Or maybe we should all shift to the Indian Alternative BSNL, and have more than enough signups to it, that they are forced to develope the infrastructure and offer a perfect alternative.

BSNL is surely better looking at how they have offered 9PM-7AM free calling on any network/mobile

The only problem with BSNL till now are the service issues and the slow response time in case of any problems. But with a great demand and business they should be compelled to work towards being a better company.

As for the Netneutrality , news just broke out yesterday that TRAI made all the email id's public, making the list being prone to be taken by spammers.

and soon after their website was down due to DDoS attacks by anonymous.

I don't think that it is really going to work in India. Indian customers are  paying more and still not getting the speed required and the price that customers are paying is much more higher as compared to other countries company says its 3g speed but it think its very low.

This is true. I have lived in the US for a couple of years and we paid around 40-50$ for the internet as well as a TV connection , and we got more than 50 MBPS on download. Indian companies already have a monopoly over the business, and are just trying to squeeze more money out of the people.

I completely agree with this. Indian companies believes in earning more profits and thats what they are meant for and even charging higher rates the speed of internet is below the level if you go to villages you even can't search for the network but still companies will charge the same.

Death has started with internet.org

Death has started with internet.org

They managed to get through without wide publicity (unlike Airtel).
Once the TRAI finalizes its rules / guidelines, they will have to shut shop.

"Those companies that wish their services to be seamless accessed by people without barrier of internet cost can come to us."
That's www.internet.org

That won't happen as they've opted for reverse strategy which in fact is compliant with current regulation and will continue to be same. Zambia, Bangladesh, Ghana, and India...why? Don't tell me .. these countries have low internet penetration. That fucking excuse. If they fail then Project Loon is in making.

Some developments. TRAI has asked RComto put Free Basics (internet.org in a new bottle) on hold.

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/internet/rcom-says-commercial-launch-of-free-basics-on-hold-pending-trai-approval/articleshow/50298524.cms

The telecom sector regulator has Wednesday asked Reliance Communications (RCom) to submit the terms and conditions of Facebook's Free Basics services that the telco offers on its network, and asked the carrier not to offer it till the carrier submits the details.

Note: You may ignore this message as just another internet campaign. No Bad Luck will haunt you. But, if we can not save the Net Neutrality in India, there will be a day, when you will be answerable to your children for surrendering freedom to greedy corporates. Act Now.

Umm.. where was this voice when they started banning porn sites? When they starting banning sites like vidbull? When they started banning torrent sites?
How are any of those sites not a way communicating and sharing information freely?
Why is it only now; when bigger corps  start eclipsing the sun for smaller corps, that all of a sudden this outcry for saving the internet started appearing?

Dont get me wrong, I stand by net neutrality but I just want to correct the fundamental basis on which this campaign is being run, it's not for the freedom of internet or saving it, it's just smaller money hungry corps wanting a piece of the proverbial chunk of 'cake' that only the big corps are reserving for themselves.

If you want a true unbiased free internet, then stop regulating the internet altogether.
