It's definitely a front for what Comcast et al have been trying to do to destroy net neutrality. The only difference is that it's under the guise of a "helping the poor" facade, and you've been fooled by it.
- mkagenius 11y agoNon neutral webs can be easily curtailed by government authorities, it has been proven in the past when Airtel tried to give a "fast lane" speed to certain website. Why to kill something when you are not sure that it will definitely result in non net neutral internet. If there are people doubting it, then you must wait till it really makes the web non neutral, then the government can interfere. Government just have to give one notice to the telcos to stop this. This is one experiment which is worth trying.
