Please stop acting like children

I would like to address the issue very plainly and ask of you to stop all this bickering and the nonsense that is going on right now and would really appreciate it if you went on and did what you are there to do, regulate. Lately I have been hearing news of internet service providers acting all childish and while having enough to eat in their own plates trying to snatch everything from my plate too. I mean what are you guys trying to do, create a masochistic society that runs rampant and elopes with whomever they please. If there is no choice for the consumer then why is there a consumer in the first place? We should all be taken akin to dogs who jump at any bone you let the companies throw at us instead of letting us chose the taste and preference.

I am sorry I should explain what I am trying to say, I should get what I pay for if nothing more then certainly nothing less; as a consumer I have the right to ‘choose’ both in terms of service and in content. Please stop the telecom companies from creating deals with content providers that use their service. I mean what, today Airtel offers Flipkart free because of some back office deals between them and charges whatsoever they please for the rest of the online stores or any service in general, then is it not safe to say that Vodafone(for example) would offer Snapdeal for free and charge for the rest and soon the other providers follow suit, so the customer then has no choice whatsoever but to choose between the service providers based on their “free portfolio”. Its already insane enough to choose between cell service based on network availability, then I would have to use whichever is free, that is bad. That is insane, if I am paying for the data and the speed firsthand, why should you or the ISP care or select or influence if that data goes towards site A or site B. Also the rich who already has access to the rest of the sites or services will certainly not be affected but the poor or even the first time user who would likely not spend enough would like to use what is available for free, thus creating a “used to” scenario later in the stage. Even “price fixing” and constant price escalation in the services would go rampant because they would have paid to get their services offered for free and would want to make the money back, Also the minor startups with potential but not much money get to face up against these giants they would certainly not survive. This is not just bad for the consumers it is ultimately bad for the growth of competition.

And still if you though that what I wrote above is either non-sense and or was not worth wasting your time on, then think about the people who still don’t have any internet connection whatsoever. If they get the option of choosing based on what is available on what service for free and instead would have to pay more for the rest of the services, it is a sad future for the technology as it is empowering the organizations to do this to the people and gross on your part for being a happy and a jolly part of it.
