  Done. I am about to make changes to the India section of the Net neutrality article. It won't be a merge, more of an update. It will be in "summary style", so short with a pointer to the Net neutrality in India article. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 11:32, 24 April 2015 (UTC).Reply

Articles needs to be updated

edit

The article has a lot of issues,

  • The legal aspects section is outdated and talks about pre Feb 2016 scenario
  • Introduction needs to updated with the current regulation
  • Article doesn't talk about the ongoing net neutrality consultation paper (http://trai.gov.in/consultation-paper-net-neutrality-11)
  • Doesn't talk about the marketing strategy used by Facebook for Free Basics, full page ads, tv commercials, notifications on Facebook and editorials by Zuckerberg
  • Also doesn't mention Internet Freedom Foundation (http://internetfreedom.in/) the new non profit created by #SaveTheInternet people.

I agree with Hargup. Certain "facts" in the article appear at variance with TRAI regulations. For example, under the "Legal Aspects" subheading, it states "There are no laws enforcing net neutrality in India." However, ndtv.com on 9 February reports, "Violators will be penalized at Rs. 50,000 per day, said regulator TRAI, stressing that 'content agnostic' access to the internet is the operating principle...."

I guess Airtel Zero should be merged with this article.
