The worst part is this (Narendra Modi/BJP led) government is enjoying popular support these days due to the progressive steps that they have taken as far as public spending on development and infrastructure are concerned. These appear to be well thought out and are pro-development (albeit might also be involved in cronyism)
However, in this one instance the government seems to think that Facebook's Free Basics thing is a 'Good Thing'. I hope better sense prevails !
- lgp171188 11y agoThe original TRAI paper for this Net Neutrality discussion looked exactly like if it had been written by someone from the telcos. This repeated "call for feedback" attempts made by TRAI seems to be a ploy to ignore the 1.5 M+ responses supporting net neutrality that they had received during the April consultation. If Facebook can (ab)use their monopoly and userbase to trick people into supporting Free Basics, just imagine what they will do when they monopolize access to Internet in India for most of the people? Scary!
