How is supporting net neutrality selling out?
- reagency 11y agoGP doesn't believe that "[website-specific] Zero Rating" is compatible with "Net Neutrality".
- dragonwriter 11y agoSupporting Zero Rating is opposing net neutrality. Google generally supports net neutrality in the US, but apparently is supporting (or at least, opposing the idea of opposing) Zero Rating in India.
- smhenderson 11y agoGoogle is not supporting net neutrality. Zero Rating is a tool to encourage the opposite of net neutrality. They are lobbying the Indian Government to keep any mention of Zero Rating out of new regulations so they can keep open the idea of promoting fast lanes and free data, as long as people choose Google's content over those who don't offer Zero Rating on their products. I guess because in the end it's the ad money they want over any subscription fees they might collect.
