1.Yes, it is too early to regulate OTT services. In face, I think it will always be too early to do so because the internet an ever evolving thing and any attempt to regulate it will lead to stopping or preventing said evolution.
2.No, OTT players should not be brought under licensing scheme. Trying to view the internet as something that can be licensed is taking a rather limited view of the internet.
3.No. If anything, OTT services bring more revenue to telecom companies consumption of mobile internet facilities has increased exponentially and this has generated substantial revenue for the telecom industry.
4.No, OTT players should not pay the telecom industry. If anybody owes money, it is the telecom industry. They owe all the money they have made selling data packs to OTT players.
5.No balances exist when it comes to OTT players. Introducing regulation will, in fact, cause imbalance because trying to do so is akin to the infamous salt tax that the British imposed on Indians.
6.Security concerns can be addressed by appropriately trained cyber security personnel.
7.Many OTT services already offer good security to it's customers. The government can involve itself if and only if there is a security breach that has significant consequences. Otherwise, it should let private organizations provide security as they sees fit.
8.If ETNO has decided in favor of net neutrality, then appropriate paragraphs relating to it should be adopted. Regulatory fiat is never good and only serves to instill fear in honest enterprises.
9.Net neutrality is of utmost importance to internet users all over the world. If it is done away with, then the unimaginable speed with which information on the internet spreads in will be gone. The importance of net neutrality cannot be over-stressed especially in a developing country like India.
10.Traffic management and discrimination of any kind are unreasonable.
11.Traffic management should not be allowed in the first place. That is the essence of net neutrality.
12.The telecom industry is already growing well and our government can make it more conducive to their growth by offering projects to build their infrastructure in rural areas of our country.
13.Any discrimination of online services is violative of the idea of net neutrality and should not be allowed.
14.No, there is no justification for differential pricing of data whatsoever.
15.Curtailing the growth of OTT services by establishing a framework of any kind will only do more harm than good.
16.Encouraging India specific OTT services should not be done by regulation. This would amount to unreasonable discrimination against other services and would unfairly restrict the choices of Indians to choose a good OTT service if it is not Indian in origin.
17.App based/Communication services need not be licensed. This is just the government trying to have a finger in every pie.
18.No. They should be allowed to decide what they charge. Besides the competitive nature of the app market keeps prices substantially low.
19. I'm against regulating OTT services of any kind unless they pose a security threat to the country.
20. Digitization of India has been a lifelong dream of our country's. If net neutrality is violated, then the dream of digital India will remain just a dream because internet services will become inaccessible by my many people especially from rural areas because they will become too expensive.
