INTRODUCTION

WHAT IS Net neutrality: internet service providers and governments should treat all the data on the internet equally without discriminating

The term was first coined by Columbia university media law professor Tim Wu in 2003, as an extension of the longstanding concept of a common carrier.

The movement to keep the Internet “free and open”.

4

How do net neutrality shape the internet?

Web users are free to connect to whatever website or service they want.

ISPs(Internet Service Providers) do not bother with what kind of content is flowing from their servers.

It has allowed the internet to grow into a global network and has allowed people to freely express themselves.

5

What will happen if there is no net neutrality?If there is no Net Neutrality,

ISPs will have the power to shape internet traffic so that they can

derive extra benefit from it.

Instead of free access, there could be "package plans" for

consumers on the OTT(over the top services and applications)

such as skype, WhatsApp, Facebook, Flipkart, Instagram and many

more.

Doom for innovation on the web.

 State of Net neutrality in India The telecom companies of in India are trying to lobby the TRAI(telecom

regulatory authority of India) to in act the Regulation in such a way that will change the way we are using the internet.

Telecom operators wants to carve the internet into a bunch of sections such that we have to pay to access every single of them separately.

TRAI has put the issue on their website in a 118 long consultation paper on the OTT issue on 27th march with tight deadline of 24th April.
