Save The Internet - Act Now!!

Dear Friends,

I am blogging after long today (more than 4 years!!) as I feel there is a need of awareness within a tight deadline!

India’s all major Telecom Providers have come with a plan to change the way we use internet today. They wan’t to introduce concept of OTT (Over the top Services) which will not only make internet usage expensive but also unfair. Simple illustration of how it may impact us is say right now you just buy an internet pack and use anything like WhatsApp, Youtube, Facebook, Flipkart, Amazon etc. With this concept, that pack will just give you mere access to Internet. If you want to use WhatsApp, you will need another pack, for youtube they may ask you to but another pack and so on. Moreover your provider may have tie up with one company say Flipkart & give them higher bandwidth so if you try to buy something on Amazon, it will be almost impossible!

TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) has given us chance to register our concern against this till 24th of April. You can register your concern very easily by logging to http://www.savetheinternet.in/ & clicking on ‘Send your Response’, it will give you option to email your response. You may even edit your response!

There is an educational video by AIB on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfY1NKrzqi0




Please take 2 mins out of your busy schedule and share your response as well as share it and make other aware to do so!


We do forward silly messages on WhatsApp like forward this to 2 group and see magic. Forwarding this may actually do magic and will also met you those silly stuff in future ;)
