read my other reply, SUE FLIPKART and stop them from making FALSE statements ever again.

I am sure if any sound investigator can examine, I doubt he would ever be able to find a store cart which can do 40K orders in 2 seconds.
and if orders were not completed why the item got out of stock.
so someone is making false statements about the actual process and needs to be checked.


SHADY things done by flipkart first time since the evolved.

To add, friend ordered a couple of flash drives from flipkart. Within the hour, he was sent a cancelation mail stating that he wasn't a priority customer and that those particular products were in high demand..

Dude subscribed to flipkart first later that night. All the cancelled orders were reinstated the next morning.

Not sure if relevant though

Network neutrality is not a law in India to the best of my knowledge.

CCI probing if telecom operators violating net neutrality - The Economic Times

Already facing flak for violating principles of net neutrality, dominant telecom operators could also draw the ire of Competition Commission of India (CCI). The competition regulator is examining concerns of alleged anti-competitive practices arising from launch of data access plans allowing companies to offer apps for free, a practice that effectively means the app maker will pay for the customer's free usage to the operator.

Critics say such exclusive partnerships by telecom companies with e-commerce players, social media apps and others will not only compel users to sign up for restrictive data plans but also kill any new start-ups that don't have enough resources to tie-up with big telecom companies. "We are examining competition concerns that have come up in the light of ongoing debate on net neutrality and telecom companies providing uneven data access to users. We'll need market evidence to conclude the matter," a top CCI official said. The matter was discussed in detail on Wednesday by the commission.

The commission could intervene on its own if any dominant player erected an artificial barrier to prevent others from entering the market, the official added. Such data platforms, according to some industry experts, violate net neutrality as they offer access to some apps and not equally to all apps.

India accuses Google of stifling competition - BBC News

Indian authorities have accused internet giant Google of abusing its dominance in search advertising.
The three year inquiry centres on complaints filed by several websites which claimed Google had been unfairly highlighting its own services.

I think Google should just provide an option to deliver results from Bing engine to users who do not like the way things are.
