@nixxin ha ha isn’t freedom of speech just a beautiful one just for our civics books. it is like an elastic right that changes according to the “regime” that “rules” us

@Sushant_7Writes in canada i was surprised by how fast even portings are.go to the provider.get the connection and you are set. you instantly move to the new provider.if not on a device contract then no commitment.

I'm being asked about Airtel's postpaid plan where they are providing priority service for Airtel customers. Here's my take:

As per my understanding of current Net Neutrality regulations, creating plans with higher speeds for does not violate Net Neutrality, as long as you don't prioritise speeds for specific apps, services or sectors, or price access to different apps, services or sectors differently.

It's important for TRAI to look into this, because this rollout should not lead to the degradation of experience for other customers of Airtel.

Just because 5G technology is capable of network slicing, doesn't mean that network slicing is used to discriminate between apps, services or sectors either on speed or data pricing.

I think principle that Vishal Misra @vishalmisra, professor at Columbia University, had given us for Net Neutrality, that "the Internet must be maintained as an open platform, on which network providers treat all content, applications and services equally, without discrimination" should determine how we look at these developments.

@techbharat @Google @GoogleIndia @sundarpichai not only a pixel
problem.every company in india does this.they just dont care as they know that nothing is going to happen.

[sandeep @sand87ch]

@catale7a it has to been seen.corruption became an issue because it was the trending topoc hammered intonour brains day in and day out by news channels.if that happens even now things will change

[Aseem Manchanda @aseemmanchanda]

Network slicing - Is this violates net neutrality ? @journoprasoon @nixxin

[Nikhil Pahwa @nixxin]

So, NetNeutrality issues are gonna blow up again in India in 4-5 months (or less). Jio's up to something, TRAI seems turned. Very 2014 vibe.

Consider this an early warning.

Someone else will have to pick up the gauntlet. Am tired of having to push back on shit all the time.

[sandeep @sand87ch]

@RahulGandhi i always fail to understand why congress makes it sound like blasphemy!agreed they may have but isnt that to their credit that an opposition party mounted such a successful campaign and ousted the ruling govt.what congress should think is why its incapable to do it?

[Nikhil Pahwa @nixxin]

One thing I'm afraid of: this has people talking, eventually, govt may withdraw this. But the infrastructure that already exists won't. That needs to go.

Remember: Sanchar Saathi was pulled back after we criticised it. But SIM Binding remained (and still remains).

It's NOT about THIS consultation. It's about the infra.

[Nikhil Pahwa @nixxin]

I think we need changes at MEITY and DoT. Both are very regressive. Cc @narendramodi

[Sushant Singh @SushantSin]

Net neutrality is back. And perhaps this will get through as Jio wants it.

[MediaNama @medianama]

BSNL is blocking legitimate websites like Dailymotion & Bitly across India, citing trade secrets laws. Is this a net neutrality violation or a cover-up? Why are they selectively targeting platforms without clear reasons? #BSNL #NetNeutrality

[Karnataka State IT/ITeS Employees Union @kitu_hq]

IT employees are preparing for an effective resistance under the banner of Karnataka State IT/ITeS Employees Union (KITU) against Karnataka government's move to increase working hours. Street campaigns and gate meetings are being held across Bangalore.
Resist #12hrWorkDay

[Pratik Sinha @free_thinker]

Just like UAPA and TADA, Congress is on its path to create yet another draconian law.

[Soham Sankaran @sohamsankaran]

I hope someone in @INCIndia stops this ruinous authoritarian bill before the Government of Karnataka attempts to pass it. A similar attempt to censor free speech on the internet from the central government, the so-called Fact Check Unit, was successfully litigated out of existence by @kunalkamra88 as unconstitutional, which does not bode well for the state-level version.

@IndianTechGuide the only solution to this problem is implementing hourly pay and twice hourly pay post 8 hrs and then see how many companies would advocate for such hours.issue is when the govt itself plans to f*ck people why blame corporates

[aryan @70yearoldsoul]

what exactly are you missing? dictatorial rule, mass arrests, custodial torture, suspension of fundamental rights, press censorship, forced sterilizations? which one is it?
