The
only topic that everyone is debating about on the Internet is Net
Neutrality. In layman words, Net neutrality means that Internet service
providers should enable access to all content and applications
regardless of the source, and without favouring or blocking particular
products or websites.
Net
neutrality, is extremely important. After all, Tim Berners-Lee who
invented the Internet had opened this platform to each and everyone and
not just to a few companies or a select group of people. But
unfortunately, there are a few telecom companies out there which want to
seize away this liberty. It is not ethically correct to the public that
they are imposed to pay extra for faster Internet speed to a particular
site/service.
Protesting
against these new rules, a website called www.savetheinternet.in has
been set up where anyone can send a mail directly to Trai, expressing
their grief and discomfort about how telecom carriers are snatching away
free Internet from them.
As of now, there have been over one lakh emails that have been sent to Trai.
The only time before this, the maximum submissions to a government consultation was 18,000, for the New Telecom Policy in 1999.
