Hello sir/Mam,
For some time I have been wondering by hering lot of news those are coming on the topi if internet Neutrality and how it is illogical in India. From AIRTEL announcing to charge extra money for VoIP to recent Reliance initiative of internet.org all this is going against the neutrality and just initiation of this process. Even lot of Internet giant maintains neutrality stand on international platform and saying that Indian scenario is different. They are actually double stamdard logic of Machiavelli. Further as a citizen and active user of mobile phone with onternet and chatting, VoIP apps; I feel vulnerable as this censorship of telecom companies can lead to very devastating ends through going against neutrality. Further telecom companies cant say that its been very difficult to earn profit aand their lobbies openly supporting against neutrality.
Finally I would say that neutrality is a principle which is necessary to maintain delicate and open nature of internet which must be upheld irrespective of the pressures from some companies for their narrow intersests. Already in India Data prices are increasing so fastly so instead of going against neutrality there should be another way to this so called problem of mobile operator companies.
Thank you.
