Which means, and this is a privacy > issue, it checks what you are doing online.* Finally, this: *VoIP calls are becoming 311% more expensive if you take the Rs 249 data > pack, and 470% more expensive if you take the Rs 449 data pack (2.5 GB).* Source: http://www.medianama.com/2014/12/223-a-response-to-airtels-statement-justifying-net-neutrality-violation/ On Sun, Dec 28, 2014 at 7:04 PM, Aruna S <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Airtel's new stand to break net neutrality in India by charging extra for > VoIp calls threatens to break net neutrality, and more importantly tries to > pave the way for other service providers to do the same thing unless we > raise our voices against this. > > We must garner enough support against Airtel's stance on this, otherwise > this will only cascade, and succeed in breaking net neutrality and charging > people in excess. > > I am attaching a poster made by Rahul Kondi, a student, from FSMK.
