Net neutrality is the principle that internet service providers should treat all data on the internet equally without discrimination. This allows users free access to connect to any website without restrictions. Supporters argue this promotes innovation and free expression, while opponents say it increases costs for internet service providers. Without net neutrality, ISPs could charge different rates for different types of online content or websites. Indian citizens should demand freedom of access without interference from telecom companies to uphold net neutrality principles in India.

NET NEUTRALITY SUBMITTED BY- Priya Kukreja Rajul Doshi Abhas Mathur Rajat Goyal INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES SUBMITTED TO: DR. DIVYA PUROHIT
What is “Net Neutrality”?  Net neutrality is the principle, that internet service providers and governments should treat all the data on the internet equally without discriminating or charging the users on the basis of the content, site, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or mode of communication.  This 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.  Net neutrality is the name of the movement to keep the Internet “free and open”.
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.
PROS AND CONS Pros of Net neutrality:  1. No Restrictions  2. No Throttling  3. No Censorship  4. Capitalism Cons of Net Neutrality :  1. Higher expenditure for ISP  2. Ease of access to certain sites  3. No Competition`
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.
Net neutrality- Indian Perspective
Internet.org Why Internet.org? Internet can be the backbone of future knowledge based economies and therefore it needs to reach out to the masses.
Internet.org  Partnership between Facebook and six other companies, namely- Samsung, Ericsson, MediaTalk, Opera Software, Nokia, and Qualcomm.  They aspire to- • Prove affordable quality internet to internet deprived countries. • Support business models surrounded around internet.
Only 1 out of every 3 people can go online. Why aren’t more people connected?  Devices are too expensive.  Service plans are too expensive.  Mobile networks are few and far between.  Content isn’t available in the local language.  People `aren't sure what value the Internet will bring.  Power sources are limited or costly.  Networks can’t support large amounts of data.
The Solution Internet.org believes in making internet more affordable in order to increase its approach. 10*Lower Cost X 10*Less Data 100 * Affordability
Affordability By Reduced Cost Network Extension Technology White Space Spectrum Affordable Devices Reduced Data Use Caching Technology Compress Data
Controversy The criticism of Internet.org breaks down into three basic points- 1. “Internet for All” really means “Facebook for All.” 2. The Internet does not cause economic growth. 3. Internet access may be important, but it’s not a right.
State of Net neutrality in India  The telecom companies 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, seeking comments from the public.  The government has called for suggestions regarding net neutrality and asked people to post their views on mygov forum.
 Save the internet(www.savetheinternet.in) is an Indian website made for the battle against the discrimination of the internet.  On 11 April 2015, a YouTube comedy channel A I B uploaded a video titled "Save The Internet" which urged people to email TRAI demanding net neutrality  On 23 April 2015, various organizations under the ambit of Free Software Movement of India organized protests in various cities across India.  The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) soon afterwards launched a counter campaign called Sabka Internet, Sab ka Vikas. Net Neutrality Initiative
What we should demand as Indian citizens ?  Freedom: we should be able to access information on the terms we choose and not to be pushed into consumer decisions by large telecom companies.  If there is violation of net neutrality, we must take a proactive approach.  They should also reward ISPs that uphold the net neutrality.
“More than any other invention of our time, the Internet has unlocked possibilities we could just barely imagine a generation ago. It connects millions of people worldwide.” So…… SAVE THE WORLD
