Neutrality
Why should we care?
2. I.What is Net
Neutrality?
“Net neutrality is the principle that
Internet service providers and
governments regulating the Internet
should treat all data on the Internet
the same, not discriminating or
charging differentially by user,
content, website, platform,
application, type of attached
equipment, or mode of
communication.”
4. II.Why Net
Neutrality is
important?
Without Net Neutrality, it would be very easy for ISPs
to mold the browsing habits of its users with the help
of pricing slabs, different speed for different sites and
other methods.
Maximum Limit
Speed of Internet
This isWhat Net
Neutrality gives
you…
This isWhat ISP wanted
5. Net Neutrality also ensures that small and new
companies can compete against established big names
on the Internet. Open Source projects will get effected
like Wikipedia.
There Will be no new
websites from small
companies and
startups.
An ISP will get money from companies, that
relationship may be enough to compel the ISP to mute
online criticism against one of its paying partners.
Customers
Website
Holders ISP
7. Internet will become a mess and you will be forced to choose packages
of websites and services like you do with your DTH Subscription.
For Example:-
PLAY GROUND
8. “NOTHING
WILL
REMAIN
FREE”
Unless the companies behind messaging andVoIP apps
decide to pay the government for licenses, we won’t be
able to use them…
At the end if they buy licenses, Do you think Services
will remain Free ?
9. III. Net
Neutrality in
India
As of August 2015, there were no laws governing net
neutrality in India.
There have already been a few violations of net
neutrality principles by some Indian service providers.
The government called in for comments and
suggestions regarding net neutrality in mygov forum.
10. 2006-2013
In 2006,TRAI invited opinions regarding the regulation of net
neutrality from various telecom industry bodies and stakeholders.
In February 2012, at the World Mobile Congress, the CEO of
Bharti Airtel Sunil Bharti Mittal, suggested that services like
YouTube should pay an interconnect charge to network operators,
saying that if telecom operators are building highways for data
then there should be a tax on the highway.
Less Investment
More Profit.
More Investment
Less Profit.
11. In 2014
In February 2014 CEO of Airtel's India operations, said that
companies offering free messaging apps like Skype, Line and
Whatsapp should be regulated similar to telecom operators.
It was rejected in August 2014 byTRAI.
In October 2014,Vodafone IndiaCEO suggested that companies
like Facebook andWhatsapp should be taxed.
Airtel announced a separated Internet pack forVoIP apps. It was
criticized in social networking sites.TheTRAI chief said that Airtel
cannot be held responsible for violating net neutrality because
India has no regulation that demands net neutrality.
It was against Net Neutrality but was not Illegal.
12. This is the way
the ISP in India
andTRAI
depicted Net
Neutrality:
Infrastructure Needs
Development.
Need Funding for
Innovation.
Freedom of Business
*ISP: Internet Service Providers.
TRAI:Telecom Regulatory
Authority of India.
13. In 2015 On 10 February 2015, Facebook launched Internet.org
in India with Reliance Communications. It aims to
provide free access to 38 websites through an app.
Only Bing was made available as the search engine.
In April 2015, Airtel announced the "Airtel Zero"
scheme. Under the scheme, app firms sign a contract
and Airtel provides the apps for free to its customers.
The reports of Flipkart, an e-commerce firm, joining
the "Airtel Zero" scheme drew negative response.
The Indian
government could
block zero rating
plans such as Airtel
Zero and
internet.org in view
of net neutrality.
14. TRAI's
consultation
paper
On 27 March 2015,TRAI released a Consultation Paper on
Regulatory Framework of Over-The-Top Services (OTT)
and net neutrality for public feedback.
A One Hundred
Eighteen Page

15. What isOTT
Services?
The term OTT (Over
TheTop) refers to the
services and
applications which are
accessible in the
Internet. eg. FB, Insta,
Whatsapp, etc.
17. The last date for submission of comments was 24 April 2015 and
TRAI received over a million emails.
TRAI released PDF files containing the names and emails of more
than a million people who commented on the "Regulatory
Framework for OTT services" paper.
The TRAI blocked Free Basics on the basis that although the
service is free, there are specific sites that cannot be accessed
unless the consumer pays.
In 14th August government asked everyone to join mygov forum
to give there comments. On 15th August Net Neutrality was
legally accepted.
