News Trai Gets 24 Lakh Comments on Differential Data Pricing Paper

[Technoglitch]

Telecom regulator Trai has received close to 24 lakh comments on its paper on differential data pricing - a key element that forms the core of the raging debate on net neutrality.

Thursday was the last day to send in the views. This is the record number of comments the regulator has received so far.

"We have received about 24 lakh comments on the paper," a Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) official told PTI.

The official added that around 18 lakh out of the whole lot relate to Facebook's Free Basics.

Facing flak for its controversy-ridden Internet platform Free Basics, the social networking giant has launched an email campaign to garner support to its plea that Trai's Net neutrality rules should not "end up depriving people of the opportunity to come online".

However, Trai has not been amused with Facebook's intense lobbying efforts and has been critical of a vast majority of the replies talking about a template provided by Facebook without commenting on the broader issues of the debate

Yeah. Most of them are not aware of this issue. They are under the impression that FB will be free hence supported this i guess

Facebook has very cleverly played with the minds of people they laid a trap and all falled prey to that
