The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) said it had received record submissions on a consultation paper for framing differential pricing rules that will decide the fate of Facebook Inc’s free Internet in India.
Sharma said the authority has decided that those places where they have the email ids of these template responses, Trai will respond back to them asking to answer the questions raised in the paper along with their justifications.
Therefore, one way is to ignore these 14.34 lakh responses, which will be unfair since these many people have tried to involve themselves in one way, so TRAI made a decision to extend the deadline for the comments to give them another chance to answer to the specific questions on “differential pricing”, he added.
“Consultation papers are not opinion polls”. “Therefore, it has become hard for us to connect these answers to this paper”, Sharma said.
Facebook has launched a massive campaign in support of Free Basics, which some say violates the principle of net neutrality, the concept that all websites on the internet are treated equally.
A debate on net neutrality stirred across the country after Airtel chose to charge separately for internet-based calls but withdrew it later after people protested.
Supporting the campaign, the academics said in a statement that the Free Basics plan was “a lethal combination which will lead to total lack of freedom on how Indians can use their own public utility, the Internet”.
