you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor Desmond Tutu
Neutrality: To be or not to be
Net
Neutrality
debate
is
one
of
its
kind.
The
beauty
of
the
debate
is
that
all
the
parties
are
playing
Damsel
in
distress.
As
an
end
user,
I
am
confused
and
so
would
you
be.
I
have
decided
to
maintain
my
neutrality
on
the
debate,
knowing
very
well
that
staying
neutral
in
a
situation
means
siding
the
oppressor.
Interestingly,
in
this
case,
the
big
question
is,
Who
is
the
oppressor?
Take
1:
All
those
who
chose
to
side
with
the
end
users,
are
better
placed.
Most
television
channels
and
print
media
virtually
smashed
Airtel
Zero
and
Internet.org
for
providing
a
platform
to
the
so-called
powerful
lobbies
of
the
companies
willing
to
spend
bucks
to
provide
the
services
for
free
to
the
users.
The
argument
against
these
companies
is
that
only
the
BIG
companies
have
that
kind
of
fortune
to
spend.
What
about
the
start-ups
and
the
small
entrepreneurs
who
wish
to
become
BIG
in
the
future.
Some
critics
go
on
to
say
Flipkart
would
not
have

so
big
had

as
Airtel
Zero;
an
allegation
that
Airtel
has
strongly
refuted
by
reaching
out
to
its
employees
and
the
customers.
Some
people
have
interestingly
put
across
questions
like
Whose
internet
is
it
anyway?
How
can
the
telecom
companies
act
as
Gatekeepers
and
deny
the
basic
access
to
freedom
of
Internet.
Take
2:
The
companies
caught
on
the
wrong
foot
have
an
opinion
of
their
own.
They
have
alleged
some
section
of
the
media
to
mislead
the
public
by
spreading
rumors
about
Net
Neutrality.
They
have
persistently
maintained
their
stand
that
this
is
nothing
but
a
Toll
free
platform.
It
would
not
throttle
the
speed
of
few
but
will
lead
to
access
for
many.
The
urgent
need
to
provide
such
platform
is
substantiated
by
numbers.
The
percentage
of
internet
users
in
India
ranges
between
15%
to
20%
as
per
different
estimates.
These
numbers
provide
a
huge
scope
for
platforms
like
these
to
fill
the
void
and
convert
the
dream
of
Digital
India
into
reality.
Internationally,
the
developed
countries
have
almost
taken
a
stance
not
to
tamper
the
market
forces
but
countries
like
Chile,
Norway
and
Netherlands
have
already
blocked
such
moves.
In
India,
with
the
number
of
participants
and
the
emails
sent
to
TRAI
in
this
debate
swelling
every
day,
whatever
the
result,
one
thing
is
very
sure.
The
companies
providing
World
Wide
Web
are
themselves
caught
in
the
Web.
