Net neutrality

April 16, 2015 12:29 am | Updated 12:29 am IST

In the present times, it can be very well said that the “ >Internet is freedom ” as it has the tendency to make a person believe that nothing in this world is beyond his/her scope of achieving it. Now the bigger question ahead of us is this: are we free enough? What lies ahead of us is how, as a democracy, we fight for our rights as consumers. Life in India today is contradictory.

On one hand we have a visionary government focussing on a “Make in India”, and on the other we have telecom and e-commerce giants who envision a competition-free market by scraping net neutrality and trying to have it set up as a roadblock against new start-ups. TRAI needs for every citizen to support net neutrality. We need to express our views and save the Internet.
