Suresh Thimiri Talking About Net Neutrality
Whats is Net Neutrality? Net neutrality (also network neutrality, Internet neutrality, or net equality) is the principle that Internet service providers and governments should treat all data on the Internet equally,not discriminating or charging deferentially by user, content, site, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or mode of communications
Airtel Zero The government has decided to look into Bharti Airtel’s controversial ‘Airtel Zero’ plan, which is seen to be violating net neutrality as it grants preferential treatment for websites that pay for it. Network neutrality is the principle that all Internet traffic should be treated equally. According to Columbia Law School professor Tim Wu, the best way to explain network neutrality is as when designing a network: that a public information network will end up being most useful if all content, sites, and platforms are treated equally.
Debate In India In recent times, the debate in India about Net Neutrality is heating up with a website doing an online campaign against it, and asking people to get associated. Major newspapers have reported how ‘fight for net neutrality’ has ‘united internet’ During the last few days, more than 200,000 e-mails and online petitions have been sent to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and Union Ministry for Communication and Information Technology ‘to act against the violation of net neutrality by corporate interests’. This online petition is in response to a consultation paper on over-the-top services (OTT) and net neutrality for public feedback released by TRAI.
