After analyzing all aspects, the team submitted its report to to the ministry of telecommunication. It emphasized the need to continue net neutrality. Broadband at lower charges should be made available. Any opposition to net neutrality must not be encouraged. “Airtel Zero’ plan must be operated with TRAI approval.
Internet applications like Skype & Wifi \ WhatsApp should be encouraged. All operations should strictly follow government rules & regulations. Cell-phone calls & internet-calls should be streamlined to be on the same platform. This stand has been appreciated and supported by Facebook & internet users!
