This is ridiculous. Videos are understandable, but targetting sites with primarily text and to an extent visual content is stupid. If they really want a share of revenue, they should attack sites like TOI and rediff which are homes for soft p0rn fanatics. Next they will ask eBay, Amazon etc. to share a percent of their revenue for enabling them to do their business online

Data is data, irrespective of text, images and video. How should it matter to the likes of Airtel? If they are jealous of Googles and Facebooks, they are sick. Uski aukaath hi kya hai? Kahaan raja bhoj, kahaan gangu theli?

They can't do even a decent job of mobile telephony and broadband, but want to comment on Googles and Facebooks!
 
Thank god airtel is not running railways in this country.Otherwise they would have demanded a cut from from every passenger travelling daily on the job.Saying that gainful employment and earning would not have been possible without them.
 
I am sure several businesses similar to Yahoo & Google are making losses as well, so I guess Airtel would be first paying them to recover as well.
 
Airtel getting desperate :)

When they have such stringent FUP limits, why does this question even come up?

Empty vessels make too much noise.
 

Its like asking a tourist spot to pay for the roads , apart from road tax , inflated toll booth fee ,etcDear airtel why not say it loud in public that you just need more money for expanding in other countries ?All airtel users , if you have other ISP`s to choose from , kindly switch to them and leave a mail to nodal officer stating " You wont subscribe to an ISP which has anti-neutrality attitude/stance". Also remember Airtel is the first one (IIRC) to introduce FUP , and we know how much we are paying for a slow speed broadband , So before you even blink , they might implement these ...
 
well airtel has already done it in the past. ipl was broadcast on 2mbps line irrespective of what the customer was subscribed to. since it was a pro-consumer move, no one complained. but it was against network neutrality. their throttling of torrent traffic during the day time is same. editing our internet access. playing with it. against network neutrality. randomly redirecting us to their smartbytes promo page is again editing of our internet access. probably not connected to network neutrality but still tempering with the internet access.
