Net Neutrality In India

4915 Words20 Pages

Abstract: Net neutrality is a sensitive cyber issue which expresses the right to Internet users to have net services without any discrimination on the basis of source, destination, or ownership of any kind of Internet traffic. This idea has laid the foundation for vigorous and high noted debate over public policy and private ownership across the many parts of the world over governmental regulation of the Internet or Internet access. The concept of Net Neutrality is new among Indian netizens (a term frequently used for internet citizens/users) which has become a matter of great concern among them and so has attracted a large media attention in a very short while. Nobody pay for electricity on the basis of which brand of appliances one uses, …show more content…

However, in recent times, TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) has presented itself as a supreme body for checking the user access to Internet. As a result of this, TRAI has been severely criticized by Indian netizens in recent times. Internet is used in neutral manner so far in country but no legal law for confirming net neutrality has been proposed yet. The process of legalising net neutrality has begun due to a massive online movement carried by Indian netizens aftermath of controversial debate on Airtel Zero but it is not certain whether it will be formulated. It is because there are many issues and challenges before legalizing net neutrality on paper in India where it requires a complex route of debates, voting & passing of net neutrality bill in two contrast houses of Indian Parliament. Interestingly, no such bill on net neutrality is proposed on table of Indian Parliament, formulation of net neutrality law is definitely far away from …show more content…

EVOLUTION OF THE NET NEUTRALITY CONCEPT
With the advent of the Skype and other “OTTP (over the top)” Internet services and apps such as Whatsapp, Twitter YouTube and Facebook, the Telecom Honchos’ lucrative “voice and text” services started experiencing unpleasant pressure. They, in turn, with the collaboration of other ISPs, moved ahead to fight back by either chocking access to some of the fascinating OTTs, or entering into “special deals” with them to enable faster access to their websites and apps by customers

    961 Words  | 4 Pages

    Net-neutrality is the principle that providers of Internet services enable access to all contents with no prejudice or discrimination against sites or products regardless of the source. In December, the U.S. government repealed the national regulations that prevented “Internet Service Providers from blocking legal content, throttling traffic or prioritizing content on their broadband networks” in favor of a “looser set of requirements that ISPs disclose any blocking or prioritization of their own content.” In summary, the government has decided to change net-neutrality and make it easier to profit from. The government’s want, and subsequent success, to change the strict guidelines by which net-neutrality operated with is supported by the Chairman

Gregory down talks a recent ruling by the FCC, that after research, seemed to be something he should be praising.

  • Network Neutrality Nuances Summary

    763 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Network Neutrality Nuances, David Farber makes a contrasting counterpoint to Barbara van Schewick’s piece of net neutrality protecting us from abuse from our ISPs. Farber states that because the internet has always regulated itself over the course of its nature and is continuing to grow increasingly with no issues, we should continue to let the internet self-regulate. Thus David Farber is suggesting that the government and legislators take a reactive stance on the internet because over the course of the internet’s history it has shown to be growing exponentially. Farber continues to analyze the history of net neutrality and comes to the conclusion that any legislation that attempts to manage the internet will fail due to the incompetence of legislations regarding the internet as demonstrated by history. Farber attempts to inductively explain the pretense behind the legislations against net neutrality; however some of his examples ultimately fail to support his conclusion due to his very apparent position against legislators

Not only is getting rid of Net Neutrality a great thing, but people have to keep in mind that net Neutrality was created in 2015!

    Back when Canada was first introduced to the internet it did not provide the amount of accessibility as it does now. When APRANET first came out it was only assessable to ten nodes and nineteen hosts, whereas now in Canada alone over 35 million people have access to the internet (Internet World Stats, 2023). The Canadian government developed their own network called Telidon back in 1970, this network became available to Canadians nine years later. Telidon was supposed to offer on-demand access to information, however this network did not catch on and failed, but before Telidon network failed it provided society in Canada with a preview of what internet technology could do. From there internet technology became the future, allowing people to understand a new way of how information can be exchanged.
