Net neutrality ---- shooting at wrong tree . The issue is "wrong" laws in wired-internet and wireless-internet which reduce competitiveness . Solution is to print law-draft which reduce non-competitiveness in these areas. Beating "net neutrality" drums has entertainment value but otherwise it is waste-o-time
.
The internet has two broad forms --- wired and wireless. The technology and laws regulating them vastly differ because wireless net is has shirtage of bandwidth , and wired net required persmission to dig ground and put cables. Both internets are high profit and "expensive" due to two reasons.
.
(A) a newcomer in wired-internet or wireless-internet is required to take licenses from central govt to start a wired-internet or wireless internet business. Solution? If states and districts are also allowed to give licenses to intra-state and intra-district internet companies, then competition will grow several times and oligopolies will be forced to charge less.
.
(B) Another reason is that "reselling" isnt allowed eg I cant buy a 1 gbps line and sell 1000 1 mpbs or 10000 100 kbps lines to my neighbours without acquiring permissions and licenses. If reselling is allowed then, competition will further increase and prices will decrease.
.
If one wants to keep internet free, he should work to make it cheaper. IMO, merely beating net neutrality drum will NOT help.
.
The "net PARTIALITY " may win because the telco can project net partiality as pro-poor !!!
,
I REPEAT --- The "net partiality" may win because the telco can project net partiality as pro-poor !!!
.
How can telco manage to project net partiality as pro-poor ?
.
Say a poor man X can afford to buy only 32 kbps and so X has only 32 kpbs for which say he pays Rs 50 per month, And he doesnt have Rs 500 per month for 800 kbps connection. Now say some company like FaceBook ala CiaBook comes and says ---- if X wants to useFacebook.com aka CiaBook.com , then let him have speed of 800 kbps and FB.com will bear the cost of higher speed !!! So now that poor man is able to use FB.com at higher speed and cost is paid by FB.com !! IOW, net partiality will benefit poor !!! Do the drum beaters who beat net neutrality drums address the issue? NO.
.
Net PARIALITY is like 1-800 service or 1-860 service where the phone receiver pays and not the phone caller. And 1-800 rates are less for large players and higher for small players. This enabled phone companies-owners to kill the smal players in market. And FCC or govt agencies never bothered !!
.
So solution is to reduce the internet costs to an extent that poorest of poorest can also buy sufficient bandwidth.
.
This can be achieved as followed
.
1. Right to Recall TRAI Chairman --- TRAI chairman has created law-drafts which makes it difficult for new comers to form telcos. With RTR-TRAI-Chairman , TRAI-Chairman will mellow down and behave well.
.
2. Right to Recall BSNL Chairman and Jury System over BSNL staff --- this will improve efficiency of BSNL to a point that all private companies will nearly collapse.
.
3. Print law-draft that if a cable company is putting intra-district cable , then it will need permission ONLY from District Panchayat NOT from Central Govt or State Govt
.
4. Print law-draft that if a cable company is putting intra-state cable , then it will need permission ONLY from State Ministry respecitively and NOT from Central Govt.
.
5. Print law-draft that if a cable company is putting cable between two districts then it will need permission ONLY from the two District Panchayats .
.
6. Print law-draft that if a cable company is putting cable between two states , then it will need permission ONLY from the two State Ministries and NOT from Central Govts
.
7. Print law-drafts legalizing re-selling of bandwidth i.e. one can buy 1 gbps connection and sell 1000 1mbps connections. And one can set up private chargeable wifi- networks. The regulation of small scale reselling should be left to districts juries.
.
8. Each citizen ownes his share of bandwidth and he can give bandwidth to any company he likes and take it back. The bandwidth taking company can resell the bandwidth it has obtained. The citizen in turn will get cash or wirseless service --- whatever he wants.
.
9. The disputes between Telco-companies and customers will be decided by Jurors and NOT by corrupt / nepotic / nexused judges
.
These law-drafts are sufficient to break oligopoly of both wired internet companies and wireless internet companies. And this will bring down prices so low, that net partiality will have no extra prodits and so net neutrality will become de-facto stanrad.
.
eg Today, windows OS treats microsft applications like excel and other applications at par to a considerable extent. With keypress, Microsoft management can make Windows OS which will ensure that Microsft application will run faster and others will run slow. Why doesnt Microsoft management do so? Because of Lunix and other competing OSs.
.
Same, best way to "regulate" internet companies is NOT to shout slogans and rely upon corrupt / nexuses TRAI chairman or FCC , but to FORCE MPs to print law-drafts that will increase competition in both wired-internet and wireless-internet business.
