3. INTRODUCTION
 WHAT IS Net neutrality: internet service providers and governments
should treat all the data on the internet equally without
discriminating
 The term was first coined by Columbia university media
law professor Tim Wu in 2003, as an extension of the longstanding
concept of a common carrier.
The movement to keep the Internet “free and open”.

4. How do net neutrality shape the internet?
 Web users are free to connect to whatever website or service they
want.
 ISPs(Internet Service Providers) do not bother with what kind of
content is flowing from their servers.
 It has allowed the internet to grow into a global network and has
allowed people to freely express themselves.

5. What will happen if there is no net neutrality?
If there is no Net Neutrality,
 ISPs will have the power to shape internet traffic so that they can
derive extra benefit from it.
 Instead of free access, there could be "package plans" for
consumers on the OTT(over the top services and applications)
such as skype, WhatsApp, Facebook, Flipkart, Instagram and many
more.
 Doom for innovation on the web.

6. State of Net neutrality in India
 The telecom companies of in India are trying to lobby the TRAI(telecom

change the way we are using the internet.

that we have to pay to access every single of them separately.

OTT issue on 27th march with tight deadline of 24th April.
