Talk:Net neutrality in India

Merge Discussion

• Support Merge. This article must what it takes to add to Net Neutrality and not the one's of individual countries. --Jaaron95 (talk) 05:45, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
• Support merge, except that there doesn't seem to be much worthwhile in the Net neutrality#Debate in India section that is worth merging. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 02:33, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
• Oppose merge, given the size of the Indian debate and the number of sources now writing about it (literally hundreds, on an international scale). Incorporating all of this material in Net neutrality would unbalance that article. Andreas JN466 12:03, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Sorry this wasn't clear, but the proposal is to minimize country specific material in the Net neutrality article by merging that information into the Net neutrality in India article and not the other way around. -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 12:28, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
    • That makes more sense. Sorry! The main article should simply contain a brief summary of this one, per Wikipedia:Summary style. I don't think it's all that bad as it stands now. Regards, Andreas JN466 08:21, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

 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).

Articles needs to be updated

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• The legal aspects section is outdated and talks about pre Feb 2016 scenario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...."

Merge Airtel Zero page with this article

I guess Airtel Zero should be merged with this article.
