Internet."Facebook executives were not immediately available for comment, but India-born Karthik Naralasetty, whose blood donor matching service Socialblood is available in more than 20 countries via Free Basics, said Facebook was already re-thinking its approach. "Not only because India was expected to be such a critical piece of the overall Internet.Facebook could also challenge the ruling in the courts, but a more likely move, said Marc Einstein, Asia-Pacific director at Frost and Sullivan, would be to sit down with the TRAI "to try to come up with a solution that's deemed a little more neutral.T. "Our job is to keep at it non-stop to ensure Internet freedom is not threatened. Kearney in Singapore. "Facebook is not going to take it lying down and they will try and figure out a way for it to happen one way or the other," said Sachin Bhatia, co-founder of Indian dating app TrulyMadly. The service has been criticized outside India, too, with Facebook accused of infringing the principle of net neutrality - the concept that all websites and data on the Internet be treated equally. For one thing, said Neil Shah, a director of Counterpoint Research in Mumbai, Free Basics made little headway in India before it was suspended in December, gaining 1 million users. Expanding these approaches with or without the operators was one option for Facebook now, as well as legal workarounds where the service is repackaged, said Martin Geddes, a UK-based telecoms consultant.. "Communications wholesale Slippery shielding tape will have to improve."This is a major setback for Facebook," said Naveen Menon, lead analyst at A.Indian activists and local businesses strongly opposed Facebook acting as the "gatekeeper" of the Internet, said Rebecca MacKinnon, director of the Ranking Digital Rights project at New America. Opponents of the service said they would continue to fight."India is not a place where Free Basics is going to be welcomed or work and (Facebook) might be better off thinking about another strategy to win over users in India," she said, such as focusing on telecommunications infrastructure or helping people access affordable devices with Internet connections. They have to get the buy-in of different governments before they go into those countries.org is Facebook's umbrella initiative to bring Internet access to the unconnected.Facebook will have to reconsider its approach in the light of India's new rules preventing Internet service providers from having different pricing policies for accessing different parts of the Web, analysts said. Part of that is the Free Basics program, which Facebook has launched in around three dozen emerging countries.Ram Sevak Sharma, chairman of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), told Reuters he hoped its ruling would clarify ambiguity about net neutrality and "that India has set the record straight that will be followed world over."The Indian experience is very isolated," said Vicente Froilan Castelo, general counsel of Globe Telecom.India's decision to ban free Internet service is a major blow to social network's planSingapore/Mumbai: India's decision to effectively ban Facebook's pared-back free Internet service is a major blow to the social network's plans, and may prompt other regulators to demand equal online access for their users.3 billion people have Internet access.Part of the problem, one expert said, is that Facebook implemented Free Basics in India following a playbook it has used in other developing countries without considering India's active civil society.org success story, but more so because it has potential dangerous knock-on effects for the universal access initiative in other markets."Regional telecoms operators which partner with Facebook, such as Indonesia's PT Indosat, controlled by Qatar's Ooredoo, and Globe Telecom in the Philippines, said the ruling would not lead them to reconsider the partnerships.

  While internet activists have gone out on streets in Bengaluru and Hyderabad to protest in favour of net neutrality, industry experts believe that Fusible laminated tape factory differential pricing, when regulated could be tailored for public interest.in said "Facebook’s Free Basics is not free internet.."We strongly oppose any model where TSPs or their partners have a say or discretion in choosing content that is made available at favourable rates, speed," Nasscom President R." The choice to determine what data or content to browse should be left to the internet users, he says. In the same way, says Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, everyone deserves access to free basic internet service.After drawing flak from critics and citizens over its Free Basics program and its extensive advertisement in the media and on Facebook itself to influence the decision of Trai in favour of zero-rating program, Zuckerberg reached out to Indian readers through an opinion piece he published in an Indian daily newspaper.Calling Facebook’s Free Basics programme as an illusion, Nikhil Pahwa, founder MediaNama and volunteer at savetheinternet.Facebook’s justification for Free Basics lies in comparing internet as a service similar to education and healthcare." Facebook’s Free Basics app that aims to provide ‘free Internet access’ to users who cannot afford data packs, has run into trouble for being against net neutrality principle."In view of regulator Trai’s proposal to question the fairness of zero-rating—a practice of not counting certain traffic towards a subscriber's regular Internet usage, Pranesh Prakash, Centre for Internet and Society said, all forms of zero-rating result in some form of discrimination, but not all zero-rating is harmful, nor does all zero-rating need to be prohibited.The debate against differential pricing of data services at the cost of net neutrality doesn’t seem to be getting over yet. Trai, while evaluating the zero-rating proposal has asked Reliance Communications, the official telecom partner for Free Basics to put the service on hold. Content-agnostic zero-rating models are not harmful, he says, adding "some traffic, such as government or public interest sites could be made free.However, Nasscom also suggested a suitable oversight mechanism in the form of "an independent not-for-profit entity with an independent board to manage proposed differential pricing programs that are deemed to be in the public interest and are philanthropic in nature. Free schools, free libraries and public hospitals may not provide the best of services, but their existence is essential to cater to a large set of audience who cannot afford expensive healthcare or education.Prakash says that Trai’s paper has been inappropriately reduced to a referendum, by both parties—supporters of differential pricing programme as well as internet activists fighting zero-rating. Chandrashekhar said in a statement.Given the current situation of low internet and broadband penetration along with lower levels of digital literacy and limited local language support in the country, IT industry body Nasscom said that protection of net neutrality is essential to fight these monumental challenges that require continuous innovation, both in technology solutions and business models.

  Dozens of protesters were injured on Monday as security forces fired tear gas and pellet guns and also wholesale Shielding Tape exploded stun grenades to thwart a ‘solidarity’ rally planned by Kashmiri separatists at the main square of southern Anantnag town.Reports pouring in from Srinagar said that scores of people were injured in fresh clashes across the valley including in Srinagar where curfew and other restrictions remained in force on 17th day running on Monday.However, on Monday, the security forces again allegedly used pellet guns along with stun-grenades, teargas canisters and bamboo sticks to foil about a dozen attempts by huge curfew-defying crowds at different places to march on Anantnag, 55 km south of Srinagar. Outside Srinagar, protests and clashes took place in Tral, Bijbehara, Duchnipora, Srigufwara, Nanil, Kanilwan, Aang, Matipora, Anchidora, Acahbal, Jablipora, Kaimoh, Khudwani and Kulgam.In the summer capital itself, two key separatist leaders Mr Geelani and Mirwaiz were arrested as they emerged out of their otherwise besieged respective houses in attempts to relocate to Anantnag.Following widespread criticism and political parties and human rights groups at home and abroad calling for complete ban on the use of pellet-guns introduced as ‘non-lethal weapon’ to contain a similar unrest in the Valley in Summer 2010, Home Minister, Rajnath Singh, said he has asked the security forces to refrain from using pellet guns "as much as possible." It also said, "There was no curfew in most of the towns/areas of the Valley although curfew remained imposed in 12 police stations of Srinagar and towns of Awantipora, Kulgam, Baramulla, Pattan and Anantnag".

  The turbulence was triggered by the killing of Hizb-ul-Mujahedin militant commander Burhan Muzaffar Wani by security forces in Anantnag’s Kokernag area on July 8.A statement issued by police here said that the situation throughout the Kashmir Valley remained "peaceful and under control" but also admitted that stray stone-pelting incidents were reported from "some places.More than 50 protesters and two policemen have been killed in violence and most of the fatal civilian casualties occurred in south Kashmir. However, the ‘blackout’ including partial ban on cellular phone services continues in the Valley.The hospitals in the Valley of Kashmir, the epicentre of the unrest, are overwhelmed and more than one dozen people, mostly young, have lost their vision and about 150 more are threatened with blindness by pellets lodged in their eyes. Meanwhile, internet services were on Monday evening restored in Jammu region after being suspended for 16 days. The cross-LoC bus ‘Karwan-i-Aman’, suspended for four weeks, resumed with 73 passengers leaving Srinagar for Muzaffarabad."Mr Rajnath Singh who was on a visit to the restive Valley during the week-end for an on-the-spot assessment of the situation, also said that the government will constitute an expert committee to help in finding ‘alternative’ to the pellet-gun.The rally, as had been announced by a recently formed issue-based loose alliance of key separatist leaders Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik, was to show solidarity with the people of the area as Anantnag along with neighbouring districts of Kulgam and Pulwama have been worst hit in the 17-day-old unrest in Kashmir Valley.

  The opposition BJP took out rallies in the city and the state on Tuesday in support of the Bangla bandh, while the ruling Trinamul Congress (TMC) countered it with processions denouncing it. Even a half holiday will not be sanctioned on the day, it said. "We (TMC) are against the culture wholesale Alu/PET of strike and shutdown.. The education minister asked schools and colleges to remain open. They dont have any mass base and are issuing threats. We will not allow such strike and shutdown in the state," he said.""The state government is trying to hush up the incident in Islampur (in North Dinajpur). In the present economic situation of the state we cant afford to have the luxury of calling a shutdown. But if the TMC and its goons try to foil the strike, there will be repercussions.Kolkata: The Trinamul Congress government has vowed to take stern action against those trying to enforce a 12-hour bandh on Wednesday called by the BJP in West Bengal to protest the killing of two students in a clash with police in North Dinajpur district, while a combative BJP warned of "repercussions" if the ruling party attempted to foil the stir.But BJP state president Dilip Ghosh said "the people are fed up with this government.

  He said that private schools which have declared a holiday on Wednesday should have discussed the matter with the state government before taking a call on it.The state government has already issued a notification for its employees asking them to attend office on the bandh day. "The police will take stern action if anyone tries to enforce the bandh," he said and accused the BJP of trying to instil a sense of fear among the people. They will participate in this strike peacefully. The kind of language they are using is completely unacceptable.State-run buses will ply as usual, he said and urged commercial establishments, private offices and educational institutions to function normally on Wednesday. But we wont stop until and unless justice is delivered," he said.The BJP claimed that the shutdown would be a complete success as the people of Islampur, where the clash took place on Thursday over appointment of Urdu teacher, and the entire state are fed up with the "misrule of TMC".TMC secretary general and state education minister Partha Chatterjee charged the BJP with trying to foment trouble in the state and said that all steps will be taken to ensure normal life is not affected.Mr Ghosh, however, said that the state government goes all out to foil a strike if the Opposition parties call a bandh and wondered if chief minister Mamata Banerjee has forgotten how many strikes her party had called in West Bengal since 1998, the year the TMC was formed.Some private schools have declared a holiday tomorrow on account of the bandh. Mr Chatterjee alleged, "The BJP is trying to instil a sense of fear among the masses with their 12-hour strike call.There will be no holiday on the day before or after the Bangla Bandh.
