| Guys Isn't it about time we refer to some other countries in the world for some reference point especially when our nation's media is polluted by Fake News, Fake Comments and #FakeWhatNot? For example in INDIA. India's TRAI is trying really hard to ensure Freedom is maintained on the "Service" of Internet itself. Referring to this Wiki Article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality_in_India Section "2016" TRAI rules in favor of Net Neutrality[edit]
The TRAI on 8 February 2016 barred telecom service providers from charging differential rates for data services, thus prohibiting Facebookâs Free Basics and Airtel Zero platform by Airtel in their present form. (Airtel was the largest Tel. Provider in 2016.)[62] In their latest ruling,[9] they have stipulated that: 1. No service provider can offer or charge discriminatory tariffs for data services on the basis of content.
2. No service provider shall enter into any arrangement, agreement or contract, by whatever name called, with any person, natural or legal, that the effect of discriminatory tariffs for data services being offered or charged by the service provider for the purpose of evading the prohibition in this regulation.
3. Reduced tariff for accessing or providing emergency services, or at times of public emergency has been permitted.
4. Financial disincentives for contravention of the regulation have also been specified. @AG Schneiderman on net neutrality and protecting our voice in government, can we use some of these points to our favor? Capitalism is "Great"! but the powers vouching for "it" need to know that it CAN NOT go against the Constitution of the United States of America and the rights of Americans. |
