Net neutrality ( definition from Google)
nounthe principle that Internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favouring or blocking particular products or websites.
By rejecting the version of net propounded by Facebook, India has ensured net neutrality in its most free, stringent, incorruptible and equitable form.
India has shamed the western world of how shabbily have they have been duping their own public into accepting and believing their own version of democracy as the final one.
The world turns over to India once again to give global moral and ethical leadership in the digital domain - an action India has been doing for millennia and is again asked to render for the world.
Net neutrality in its truest form is that which has been embraced by Google. It is hoped the Internet will now continue to grow to its fullest potential reaching the masses at the best cost in the shortest time possible, where everybody is free compete to offer whatever content and grab as many customers as possible.
Even though I respect Mark Andreseen as the developer of the commercial Internet browser, Netscape Navigator, I am amazed at his lack of knowledge on world hitory and his twisted racial mindset !
As Mark expresses concern that only approximately twenty percent of Indian population has access to the Internet in India, (being fair to Mark as he was more concerned about increasing access to net, he forgot the concept of free and fair access to internet), allowing people access to Facebook sites and blocking other sites is not the right way to initiate the other unfortunate 80% of Indian population to the Internet.
Freedom is not only ensuring access and availability, it is also ensuring unrestricted and open access to resources ( especially here the Internet ) .. A concept which the western world may not yet be ready to accept and may take some more years to accept in its entirety !
