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.
