AGENDA

TOPIC 1 - Net Neutrality - India - Anivar and Abhiram

  • The Indian regulator have set the tone for 21st century internet in the developing world. TRAI decision is a beacon for govts around the world considering how the internet should be brought to the poorer half of the world. That internet for us in the developing world will not be a second class shoddy internet in the name of access. It will not be the Government controlled net offered by the Governments of Russia, Iran or China. Neither will it of the pure capitalist wild west set by telecommunications companies, regulators in the west or platform companies.In particular no effort to break privacy, security of the poor in exchange for internet or service by any platform company will be tolerated
  • Zero rating (discriminatory/Differential pricing) --> offer crumbs from the Internet’s table in the form of free access to walled-garden services as a solution for digital divide. But this breaks Net Neutrality Mozilla Wrote 3 Letters t o Government of India including the one submitted to this consultation process . Mozilla India Task force worked with Mozilla policy team for the latest submission. It was 100% win for Mozilla position. Mozilla India Advocacy community actions are many during this campaign time (From March 2015 onward - Feb 2016) ranging from mobilizing signatures from college students , running Net-neutrality teaching booths in Public bus terminals, Teaching Net neutrality in colleges, Writing articles in Local Media/ Blog in regional languages, Participating in Public Talks / Prime time channel discussions on Net-neutrality , participating Policy meetings to High-level negotiations with parliamentarians.
