The important aspects of Net neutrality are:
In India, the concept of net neutrality doesn’t exist legally but most companies have adhered to it until now. With the Internet taking the world into its folds, Internet Service Providers across the world are trying to encash this potent commodity and trying to control the traffic.
Telecom operators have lobbied ( especially Airtel and Vodafone) and gone to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to allow them to block apps and websites and charge money from both consumers and businesses i.e they will get the license to violate net neutrality.
The absence of Net neutrality will change the way you know Internet now and your freedom will be at stake
People from all over India have raised their voices to keep Net neutrality alive and now it's your turn too.

The last day for netizens to send their views to Trai on the subject is April 24,2015 Indians have sent over 1 lakh emails to TRAI over the issue through the website savetheinternet.in. Let TRAI know that you need Net neutrality and defend the Internet freedom.
Net neutrality is one of the biggest issue debated globally by the telecom regulators and TRAI is also in the process of finalising what will be a landmark recommendation for Indian telecom.
The important aspects of Net neutrality are:
- Internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source.
- The Internet service provider from whom you buy your internet pack, should not under any circumstance be able to control how exactly you use it and it's upto you how you use the data.
- All websites can co-exist without hampering others and all websites are accessible at the same speed and no particular website of application is favoured.
- All web sites and content creators are treated equal, and you don’t have to pay extra for faster Internet speed to a particular site/service.
