$\"\"$ NEW DELHI: The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) is displeased with the way Facebook<\/a> has reacted to the telecom regulator’s consultation paper on differential pricing of data and feels that the government’s final position on the net neutrality<\/a> issue should reflect its commitment to free and fair, and democratic access to the Internet<\/a>, sources familiar with its thinking have told ET.
\n
Sources said that a high-powered committee headed by Communications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar<\/a> Prasad and comprising Jitendra Singh<\/a>, minister of state for PMO, and Science and Technology Minister Harsh Vardhan will next meet after the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai<\/a>) submits its recommendations on differential pricing of data tariffs. The recommendations are expected to be made public any day.
\n
\nThe PMO-constituted panel is keeping a close watch on the next steps that Facebook will take to pitch its ‘Free Basics’ platform.
\n
\n $\"\"$
\n
\nThe company says Free Basics will allow millions of Indians, especially in rural areas, access the web for free but critics say it will only allow access to select sites and therefore is against the concept of net neutrality. The panel has already met twice on the subject, with the last meeting held on January 15.
\n
\n“In the last meeting, it was clearly discussed that the PMO is of the view that the government must not allow any platform, no matter how popular, to monopolise any information system in the country as it can have far-reaching social, political and economic ramifications,” one of the people aware of the discussions said.
\n
\n“If a public platform is allowed to do so in any manner, it can hold significant power to sway and shape public opinion too,” said this person, adding that the panel has discussed the option of the government providing some amount of mobile Internet data free to first-time users and paying for free data packs along the lines of LPG subsidy using the direct benefit transfer mechanism.
\n
The articulation of the view from the government’s highest quarters comes at a time the government has come under attack from Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi<\/a> who has accused it of delaying its policy stand on net neutrality and warned against the Digital India programme ending up as a \"surrogate for the interests of big corporations\".
\n
The government feels the issue of net neutrality —a concept which guarantees free and equal access to the Internet — is critical to the success of the ambitious Digital India programme, which is a pet project of Prime Minister Narendra Modi<\/a> and involves creating digital highways to empower citizens digitally across the remotest parts of the country.
\n
\nFacebook has been engaged in a war of words with Trai over responses made through the social networks’ platform to a consultation paper on differential pricing of data services —released on December 9 — which had triggered a controversy over net neutrality.
\n
\nWhat appears to have gone wrong for Facebook is the manner in which it aggressively responded to the telecom regulator’s consultation process.
\n
\nOn December 9, Facebook started a mass campaign on its platform asking users to support Free Basics and urged them to email Trai declaring their support of “digital equality”.
\n
\nFree Basics was sought to be conflated with digital equality. It also ran advertorials in newspapers and on TV backing Free Basics, which it pitched as a solution to connect the unconnected billions.
\n
\nThe social media giant was warned by the telecom regulator to not try and turn a ‘consultation process’ into an opinion poll.
\n
\nIt had called Facebook’s Save Free Basics campaign a “crudely majoritarian and orchestrated opinion poll”. It also pulled up Facebook for the responses, which the regulator said didn’t address any of the questions posed in the consultation paper.
\n
\nOn January 1, Trai asked the company to alert its users to send revised responses to the questions on the consultation paper, as a vote for Free Basics did not hold up as a valid response.\n\n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":50844042,"title":"DIPP to launch startup contest in partnership with Qualcomm","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/dipp-to-launch-startup-contest-in-partnership-with-qualcomm\/50844042","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":50844130,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"PMO displeased with Facebook's reaction to Trai's consultation paper","synopsis":"The PMO-constituted panel is keeping a close watch on the next steps that Facebook will take to pitch its \u2018Free Basics\u2019 platform.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/pmo-displeased-with-facebooks-reaction-to-trais-consultation-paper","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Anandita Singh Mankotia","author_link":"\/author\/479231328\/anandita-singh-mankotia","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479231328.cms?width=100&height=100","author_additional":{"thumbsize":false,"msid":479231328,"author_name":"Anandita Singh Mankotia","author_seo_name":"anandita-singh-mankotia","designation":"Editor","agency":false}}],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ET Bureau","artdate":"2016-02-04 08:32:39","lastupd":"2016-02-04 08:34:04","breadcrumbTags":["Rahul Gandhi","Ravi Shankar","Narendra Modi","Internet","TRAI","Facebook","Jitendra Singh","Net neutrality","data pricing"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/pmo-displeased-with-facebooks-reaction-to-trais-consultation-paper"}}" data-authors="[" anandita singh mankotia"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2016-02-04" data-index="article_1">

新德里:总理办公室(PMO)的方式表示不满脸谱网对电信监管机构的咨询文件数据差别定价和认为政府的最终位置网络中立问题应该反映其自由和公平的承诺,和民主访问互联网,知情人士告诉等思考。

消息人士说,一个强大的委员会由通讯和信息技术部长Ravi Shankar普拉萨德和组成Jitendra辛格、PMO部长和科技部长严厉Vardhan后将下一个满足印度电信管理局(火车)提交其建议的数据差别定价关税。建议将公开任何一天。

PMO-constituted面板是密切关注接下来的步骤,Facebook将推销其“免费”的基础平台。

该公司表示自由基础将使数以百万计的印度人,尤其是在农村地区,免费上网,但批评人士说,它将只允许访问选择网站,因此反对网络中立的概念。该小组在这个问题上已经见过两次,与上次会议于1月15日举行。

“在上次会议上,这显然是讨论,PMO认为政府必须不允许任何平台,无论多么受欢迎,垄断国家中的任何信息系统,因为它可以产生深远的社会、政治和经济影响,“意识到讨论的人说。

“如果一个公共平台以任何方式允许这样做,它可以容纳相当大的权力,以影响和塑造公众舆论,”这个人说,并补充说,该小组讨论了政府的选择提供一定数量的免费移动互联网数据首次免费用户和付费数据包的液化石油气使用直接利益转移机制补贴。

政府的视图的清晰度最高的季度之际,政府受到攻击来自国会的副总统拉胡尔。甘地人指责它推迟其站在网络中立政策和警告印度数字计划最终作为一个大公司利益的“代理”。

政府认为网络中立的概念——保证自由且平等接入互联网,雄心勃勃的数字印度的成功是至关重要的项目,这是总理的一个项目莫迪赋予公民和涉及创建数字高速公路在最偏远地区的数字。

Facebook已经从事一个与火车的反应通过社交网络的平台出差别定价的咨询文件数据服务,12月9日网络中立的——这已经引发了一场争论。

Facebook似乎错了什么积极的方式应对电信监管机构的协商过程。

12月9日,Facebook开始大规模竞选平台要求用户支持免费的基础知识,并敦促他们邮件火车宣布支持“数字平等”。

自由的基础是寻求与数字平等合并。还跑软文广告在报纸和电视上支持免费的基础,它把作为连接解乐动扑克决方案无关的数十亿美元。

社交媒体巨头被电信监管机构警告称,不要试着把“协商”的民意调查。

它叫Facebook的拯救自由基本运动“粗暴地采取少数服从多数和策划民意调查”。反应也停在了Facebook,监管机构说没有解决任何问题的咨询文件。

1月1日,火车问公司提醒用户发送修订后的反应的问题咨询文件,作为自由的投票基本没有持有有效的响应。
