Students gather for a protest against Facebook’s ’Free Basics’ in Hyderabad.

This is how the Indian internet is battling Facebook’s Free Basics

The Indian internet has been waging a war of its own in a last-minute rush to gather support and prevent Facebook’s Free Basics from becoming a reality
Free Basics, which began as Internet.org, was first launched in India in February as a closed platform with services hand-picked by Facebook.

What Facebook is doing to push Free Basics in India

Facebook has been spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on hoardings across Indian cities and full-page newspaper advertisements trying to drum up support for Free Basics, which, it claims, is crucial for “digital equality” in India. The campaign comes days before the December 30 deadline for comments on a consultation paper about zero-rating released by the TRAI.
With fresh notifications, Facebook is planning to push its controversial Free Basics initiative formerly known as Internet.org in India.

Facebook is rolling out a campaign to ‘Save Free Basics’ in India

WiFi for the next billion but no violating neutrality, says Google

Despite having backed net neutrality in the United States, Google hasn’t officially commented on the topic in India.
Zero-rating is essentially telecom industry jargon for data that a consumer doesn’t pay for directly but is somehow subsidised by an operator or a content provider. Facebook’s Free Basics program uses zero-rating to let users access certain parts of the internet for free.

TRAI’s new paper about data pricing is boring. We made it fun

This latest paper is a Snooze Central, but it raises some pretty important questions about the future of a neutral internet in India.
