The battle between the net users and net provider over Net Neutrality has been going on ever since. And TRAI being the referee had to take a decision that’s fair to all and which makes India wins. The whole nation went abuzzed when they came to know about a system where their data charges will be different as per the content.
In a statement released to the public less than an hour ago, TRAI wrote, “No service provider shall offer or charge discriminatory tariffs for data services on the basis of content.” TRAI wrote that allowing such plans would affect the architecture of the Internet and hence they wouldn’t be allowed. The statement says, “Prohibition of discriminatory tariff is necessary to ensure that service providers continue to fulfill obligations in keeping internet open and non-discriminatory.”
Another legendary step they saod was that every two years they will reviews the norms set in scope of improvisation. Furthermore, it is aslo said from their part, that if any regulatory disobeys or do not follow the norms , a sum of Rs.50 lakh will be charged on them on a daily basis.
In a press release issued by the regulator, Chairman, R.S. Sharma said, “Anything on the Internet cannot be differentially priced.”
Woah, at last we won. This decision by TRAI outrageously rejects the Free Basic funda as proposed by Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg.
In the meanwhile, social media went berserk over the great news.
Everybody was in a cheerful mood, after this news came in
& We are more than happy!
This does deserve a standing ovation to TRAI.. We are immensely proud of the decision.
