Ans: The problem is not about when to regulate, early or late, The problem is regulation itself! Already we are paying a very high amount to use 3g services in India (Rs 255 per 1 gb). That itself is enough for the telecom operators to operate. Seeking more profits by discriminating internet is not a good move. Hence Net neutrality should be maintained forever.

Question 2: Should the OTT players offering communication services (voice, messaging and video call services) through applications (resident either in the country or outside) be brought under the licensing regime? Please comment with justifications.

Ans: No! Most of the services offered by OTT players like whatsapp and facebook are almost free (if not free, then the fee is very very less), Forcing them to licensing will eventually end up forcing the users to pay for extra money for the same kind of services.

Question 3: Is the growth of OTT impacting the traditional revenue stream of TSPs? If so, is the increase in data revenues of the TSPs sufficient to compensate for this impact? Please comment with reasons. 

Ans: Increase in data revenues is a big blunder! The TSP's are already eating peoples money from years. They earned a lot of revenue. Now its time to control that revenue. We can control this by allowing OTT to do their work as usual and by maintaining net neutrality.

Question 4: Should the OTT players pay for use of the TSPs network over and above data charges paid by consumers? If yes, what pricing options can be adopted? Could such options include prices based on bandwidth consumption? Can prices be used as a means of product/service differentiation? Please comment with justifications.

Ans: If you think this would be a better solution, then yes! But one condition, whatever OTT's pay to TSP's is their internal headache. Please don't increase the data charges which are already too high. And i also do not support this. But in the least case, this would be better.

Question 5: Do you agree that imbalances exist in the regulatory environment in the operation of OTT players? If so, what should be the framework to address these issues? How can the prevailing laws and regulations be applied to OTT players (who operate in the virtual world) and compliance enforced? What could be the impact on the economy? Please comment with justifications. 

Ans: No! TSP's are already charging for the data we use. Its none of their business to change the neutrality of the internet. Internet is a right for everyone. It should be equal for all.

Question 6: How should the security concerns be addressed with regard to OTT players providing communication services? What security conditions such as maintaining data records, logs etc. need to be mandated for such OTT players? And, how can compliance with these conditions be ensured if the applications of such OTT players reside outside the country? Please comment with justifications. 

Ans: We are already using internet based emails and chats from many years. No one ever thought of security until its hurting their revenue. Its upto the user to use secured apps and services. The control should NOT be given to TSP's.

Question 7: How should the OTT players offering app services ensure security, safety and privacy of the consumer? How should they ensure protection of consumer interest? Please comment with justifications.

Ans: Once again! Internet is our right! Even if its not safe, there should be some other bodies to ensure security. There is nothing related to TSP in this case.

Question 8: In what manner can the proposals for a regulatory framework for OTTs in India draw from those of ETNO, referred to in para 4.23 or the best practices summarised in para 4.29? And, what practices should be proscribed by regulatory fiat? Please comment with justifications.

Ans: The given information in those paras are not really clear for normal people to understand. I think government should be capable of at least selecting best regulatory practices if needed. It should be decided by keeping users in mind.

Question 9: What are your views on net-neutrality in the Indian context? How should the various principles discussed in para 5.47 be dealt with? Please comment with justifications. 

Ans: Not only in India context, Net neutrality is equal to things like Right to speech. Net neutrality is something that the government has to ensure to its citizens. Discriminating internet is also against democracy. 

Question 10: What forms of discrimination or traffic management practices are reasonable and consistent with a pragmatic approach? 7 What should or can be permitted? Please comment with justifications. 

Ans: No discrimination at all.

Question 11: Should the TSPs be mandated to publish various traffic management techniques used for different OTT applications? Is this a sufficient condition to ensure transparency and a fair regulatory regime? 

Ans:NO! not fair at all.

Question 12: How should the conducive and balanced environment be created such that TSPs are able to invest in network infrastructure and CAPs are able to innovate and grow? Who should bear the network upgradation costs? Please comment with justifications.

Ans: Because they are not doing it for free. They are charging tonnes! Government should regulate the bidding costs of the spectrum and also decrease the taxes.

Question 13: Should TSPs be allowed to implement non-price based discrimination of services? If so, under what circumstances are such practices acceptable? What restrictions, if any, need to be placed so that such measures are not abused? What measures 12 should be adopted to ensure transparency to consumers? Please comment with justifications

Ans: I don't really understand why this point is considered at all? Decreasing speeds to particular services and discriminating based on services is also a big threat to net neutrality.

Question 14: Is there a justification for allowing differential pricing for data access and OTT communication services? If so, what changes need to be brought about in the present tariff and regulatory framework for telecommunication services in the country? Please comment with justifications. 

Ans: As mentioned earlier, decrease the spectrum value and taxes. Stop discriminating the internet. 

Question 15: Should OTT communication service players be treated as Bulk User of Telecom Services (BuTS)? How should the framework be structured to prevent any discrimination and protect stakeholder interest? Please comment with justification. 

Ans: Whatever you treat, don't discriminate the internet.

Question 16: What framework should be adopted to encourage India specific OTT apps? Please comment with justifications. 

Ans: Now, this is discriminating based on country? NO! stop it please!

Question 17: If the OTT communication service players are to be licensed, should they be categorised as ASP or CSP? If so, what should be the framework? Please comment with justifications. 

Ans: What is ASP and CSP? its not my concern to learn technical terms. once again, stop discriminating.

Question 18: Is there a need to regulate subscription charges for OTT communication services? Please comment with justifications. 

Ans: Not needed for now. If the OTT do not play fair, then this may be useful.

Question 19: What steps should be taken by the Government for regulation of non-communication OTT players? Please comment with justifications. 

Ans: low spectrum cost, low taxes to support TSP. Now dont regulate OTT.

Question 20: Are there any other issues that have a bearing on the subject discussed?

Ans: Yes! I answered my 10th, Plus two and graduation exams more easily. When you want to ask the public something very important, try to make it simple instead of asking them to write essays.

The questions are so frustrating that i decided to stop answering in between. 

Being a tech guy, if i feel in this way, then just think, how would a normal person react?
