A welcome move

According to the latest Trai directive, Net Neutrality has been upheld. It is indeed a welcome move by the telecom regulator after an extended public debate on this issue.

According to the latest Trai directive, Net Neutrality has been upheld. It is indeed a welcome move by the telecom regulator after an extended public debate on this issue. At a time when the nation struggles to ensure basic necessities like food, clothing and shelter to a substantial part of the population, the whole idea of “digital equality” is somewhat outrageous. Add to this discriminatory offerings such as “Free Basics” and “Airtel Zero”, and one ends up looking at a misleading campaign aimed at tapping the ever growing Indian market with little social accountability.
