Comments and SUGGESTIONS w.r.t. Consultation Paper on Differential Pricing for Data Services, Facebook's Free Basics - Observations & Suggestions


1. The whole purpose of Facebook pushing for Free Basics is to Collect Internet Behaviour Information, MIND-READING and PROFILING of Crores of the MASS VOTERS of India in Lower Strata and Lower Middle Strata with which Facebook, Mark and USA can Influence VOTERS' Minds during Polls by using Free Basics platform, which is DETRIMENTAL and DANGEROUS for DEMOCRACY and INDEPENDENCE of INDIA.

These platforms, once hooking Crores of People of India in the Lower Strata and Lower Middle Strata, can Manipulate their Internet behaviour and real-life behaviour by manipulating their Free Basics Internet Connection, providing Undue power to Facebook, Mark and such DICTATORIAL CROOKS of USA detrimental to INDIAN DEMOCRACY and INDIAN VALUE SYSTEMS.

2. Facebook's Free Basics is ABUSE of MONOPOLISTIC POWER of Facebook on People of India and should be banned under Monopoly & Restrictive Trade Practices Act (MRTP Act) and current Competititon Commission of India Acts. Facebook should be sued under MRTP Act and CCI Actfor this FreeBasics scheme.

3. Facebook's Free Basics is more to propogate Business Interests of Facebook alone and to establish Monopoly on Internet and Internet behaviour of Billions of People of India andinfluence their thought process in mass scale by capturing all internet behaviour of people, while Internet access to Poor People of India is just an ALIBI to Monopolise Indian Internet Market.


4. By giving Free Internet, Facebook gets a huge datamine of behaviour and interest patterns of Crores of Mass Voters of India and Mass Sections of People of India who are in lower strata and lower middle strata, which Facebook wants to Encash by selling these data mines and behaviour profiles of these Mass Voters of India for Billions of Dollars, as INDIA is the only Largest Virgin Unexplored Markets for many consumable and consumer durable products.

5. Facebook talking about children and people from lower strata and lower middle strata using Internet to innovate and enhance their lifestyle are all BULLSHIT, as whichever child and person in lower strata and lower middle strata has to make it big, it is his/her DESTINY to make it big within the current social domain of the Society in which they grew as it is each one's WILLPOWER, DREAM, TENACITY, PERSEVERANCE and SENSE of PURPOSE will make them to achieve their PERSONAL GOALS, best examples are Abdul Kalam, Sundar Pichai, Indira Nooyi and thousands of such persons in India who made it big without Internet and many other basics of current world.

6. Facebook and Twitter are Platforms with 80% GUTTER material creating multiple conflicts among users playing with emotions of each other without encouraging face-to-face interactions and understanding with each other but just abuse in facebook, while these platforms are 20% USEFUL-to-HUMANITY material like some using facebook to market and enhance their various business.  Those 20% who use facebook and twitter as USEFUL-to-HUMANITY material to market and enhance their business will surely spend Rs.50 to Rs. 100 per month for Internet Connectivity as part of Marketing Expenses of their Business and would not depend on Free Basics.

7. Free Internet Usage of 350MB per month for initial period of 3months to 6months of taking a Mobile Connection are provided by Mobile Operators like TATA DOCOMO apart from providing free Talktime equivalent to the First Recharge Coupon amount thereby Internet usage being free, with which a Poor Person can surely use Internet of 350 MB per month for 3 months to access and download lots of Useful, Educative, Informative, Knowledge Enhancing, Innovation Encouraging websites like WIKIPEDIA.ORG,Govt. Educational .ORG Websites, Govt.-To-People Services websites and many other Education Oriented and Innovation Oriented Free Access Websites.


8. All INDIAN TELECOM OPERATORS should make ACCESS of GOVT-To-PEOPLE SERVICE Websites of State Govts and GoI, Govt. Websites, EDUCATION-ORIENTED FREE-to-BROWSE WEBSITES like WIKIPEDIA.ORG, WIKIMAPIA.ORG and such select NON-USER PROFILING Websites Free of Cost from
Smartphones, while charging Internet charges for accessing USER PROFILING Websites like Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo etc where they profile users and sell those data and information to product marketers and service marketers.

9. Facebook and its promoter are Monopolistic, Dictatorial Organisation, Evil disguised as Angel practicing Freedom of Speech as long as it encourages conflict, quarrel and ego problems among friends and good relationship, but Facebook blocks Freedom of Writing and Speech of NATIONAL INTEREST, but not palatable to US Businesses, Crony Capitalistic practices, Corrupt US Firms and Indian Firms, Political parties backed by Facebook and USA like the Current BJP Govt. in the Centre. This has been my experience with Facebook where Facebook blocked my access to post my observations and suggestions on National-Interest-Oriented Issues which has impact on lives of 130 Crore Indians, as those posts were against CRONY CAPITALISTIC Business Interests of US Cos. and Indian Cos. Personally, inspite of logging in through 3 email addresses providing all my mobile contact nos. and identity, Facebook blocked access to facebook to post my observations & suggestions on Life-Impacting National issues of India of 130 Crore Indians, as it is not suitable for what Facebook stands for - CRONY CAPITALISM, ECONOMIC COLONIALISATION of India by USA Businesses by influencing Policy decisions of BJP Govt. suitable for USA and its Monopolistic, Crony Capitalistic Business interests, providing no reason for blocking but just blocked.

10. Thus, Facebook's only goals and objectives for providing Freebasics are as listed below, under the garb of free internet usage to poor people - they need free food, free clean water, free clothing, free shelter first and Internet is not in their Top 10 priority list of their lives:

(a) Influencing the thought process of Mass Sections of Voters of India who are in lower strata and lower middle strata and whose votes literally decides which political party shall come to power for 5 years. Thus, USA through facebook and mark, plan to use facebook platform to influence votes and democracy to bring their puppet govt. in Centre and States.

INDIA cannot afford at any point in time now and in future to allow a Foreign Co. like facebook to wield power in India, but just remain always as just another service available in the internet like emails, news websites, etc and nothing beyond that.

(b) To PROFILE and SEGMENT the USERS of Internet in Lower Strata and lower middle strata without paying any amount but getting them Free-Of-Cost, To STUDY and SELL those Profile information to Private Monopolistic and Oligopolistic Businesses to sell their products and services to Mass Sections of Indian Society. These information will also be sold to Political parties of India like BJP to influence voting decisions in future.

Lok Sabha Elections 2014 was won by BJP to a significant extent by manipulating Social Media like facebook, twitter etc. People of India, to safeguard INDIA from such Foreign Infleunce and power wielding should oppose such FreeBasics with ULTERIOR MOTIVE of wielding Media Control and Power in future - the attitude is similar to East India Company first starting trading and slowly ruling us for 300 years.

11. Current Average Revenue Per User at lower strata and lower middle strata is around Rs. 80 per month. Would Suggest the following for TRAI and Telecom Companies:

(a) Provide 1MB FREE for every Re.1 of TalkTime TopUp Recharge for Lower Strata and Lower Middle Strata Prepaid Customers of India. Thus, for Rs.80 per month of ARPU in lower strata and lower middle strata, a Customer would get 80MB of free internet usage in his or her smartphone in a month.

(b) Over-debit of Internet Usage MB by Mobile Operators and ISP operators are noticed. For example, just to open one's GMAIL Account by typing user name and password, 5MB is getting debited, which is too much of debit of internet balance when it should not debit more than 1MB to open a GMAIL account.

Higher debit of Internet balance of 5MB is due to the Analytics wings of facebook, google apis, amazon and many other Profile capturing Analytics engines trying to capture the Complete Internet behaviour and information of each User. Thus, 1MB is to open my GMAIL account and 4MB spent for Analytics engines of facebook, google apis, amazon and other websites to capture my internet access information and mails
received in my gmail account.

TRAI should PREVENT these Analytics firms of American MNCs to access these individual email information of Indians by LEGALLY blocking these MNC Analytic firms from accessing these data for their business interests through Govt. Orders in this regard and levying FINANCIAL PENALTIES on these MNC Analytical Firms of Facebook, Google, AMAZONAWS and such organisations who not only STEAL USER INFORMATION but also INCREASE DEBITS from my INTERNET USAGE ACCOUNT paid by each one of us.

When a 1GB recharge should come for 30 days if used only for user needs, gets expended in just 10 days due to the extra internet traffic generated by Analytics divisions of GOOGLE APIS, AMAZON AWS, Facebook analytics and many others.

Why should an Internet User and Customer pay for ILLEGAL Internet usage of Analytics divisions of GOOGLE APIS, AMAZON AWS, Facebook analytics to ILLEGALLY STEAL Internet Access Information of each User ?
TRAI should first ban these Analytics Firms to illegally use Customer's Internet balance to STEAL Internet User's Information and Profile to enhance their BUSINESS INTERESTS at Customer's Internet Usage Cost.

It is against BASIC MINIMUM WORK ETHICS of any BUSINESS adding Internet Usage Costs of Internet Users for their Analytics tool to read user information, profile and internet usage patterns, while on the otherhand, make BILLIONS OF DOLLARS by SELLING each USER's Information, COMPLETE PROFILE, LIKES and DISLIKES, Internet Usage Patterns, Websites visited.

On One hand, these Analytics firms of American MNCs like Google APIS, Facebook, AMAZONAWS and many other firms VIOLATE Individual Freedom Space and Privacy Space to make BILLIONS of DOLLARS for themselves at the Internet Usage Cost of each Internet User, while on the other  hand these firms use User's Internet Balance to achieve their business goals of STEALING User's information, internet usage patterns to SELL these information for Billions of Dollars.

TRAI should BAN these Analytics Firms of American MNCs like Google APIS, Facebook, AMAZONAWS and many other firms from accessing User Information whenever a User connects to the Internet, failing which Huge FINANCIAL PENALTIES should be levied on each of them.
