TRAI on Monday revealed a news about the net neutrality, which states that differential pricing of the data plans will be banned and gives an end of the Free Basic by the social networking site Facebook in India. On hearing this news, CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg was too much disappointed. In a post on the networking site, he exclaimed, "today India's telecom regulator decided to restrict programs that provide free access to data. This restricts one of Internet.org's initiatives, Free Basics, as well as programs by other organizations that provide free access to data".
The Facebook Free Basic's programme is a part of larger initiatives internet.org, which provide access to particular websites with a collaboration from telecom companies. The TRAI has blocked and barricades the all differential pricing of data services and said Free Basics like programmes will not be able to flourish in India and as it is not permissible. Even we can say one thing that the debate and discussion about net neutrality and differential rates are because of the Facebook's so-called free basics programme.and has become a massive and combative issue in the country. Mark added, "while we're disappointed with today's decision, I want to personally communicate that we are committed to keep working to break down barriers to connectivity in India and around the world. Internet.org has many initiatives, and we will keep working until everyone has access to the internet".
In the homely place India, Free basics was very a contagious survey and was treated as “misguided campaign” for the people. For the last two months, there had been a massive paper issue and a word of war between the Facebook and TRAI regarding this topic. In a post, the CEO also includes, "connecting India is an important goal we won't give up on, because more than a billion people in India don't have access to the internet. We know that connecting them can help lift people out of poverty, create millions of jobs and spread education opportunities. We care about these people, and that's why we're so committed to connecting them". Further in affirmation with Zuckerberg's post, Facebook's Chief Operation Officer Sheryl Sandberg said, "Free Basics works - millions of people around the world use it to get connected, including women and men who are accessing health care and finding jobs online. It can make such a difference. We are all disappointed that people in India won't be able to take advantage of Free Basics - but glad that our other work with Internet.org continues. We will keep connecting the world".
