First of all thanks for giving us a platform where we can be heard. 

This subject is extremely important for me and millions of us who dreamed and planned an Internet based company. The deal between Airtel and Flipkart scares me as it will favor one player over another which is against the rule of competetion. 

I agree the OTT services like whatsapp skype might be eating telecom company revenues but controlling the internet by lobbying cannot be the answer. If the telecom companies feel they are going into losses then they should increase the data rate that they offer and let the competetion between the telecom players normalize the data rate like in many western countries.

In the end i would like to say i have full faith in Government of India institutions like TRAI and i know the right thing will be done after the discussion is over. Having a discussion itself is such an impressive step and it sure bolster my confidence.

Scared but optimistic end user
