Comments RE: TRAI Consultation Paper on Differential Pricing for Data Services
Following are my comments in reference to the consultation paper on differential pricing release by TRAI available at the following URL: http://www.trai.gov.in/ WriteReaddata/ ConsultationPaper/Document/CP- Differential-Pricing-09122015. pdf I think the consultation paper does a very good job of laying out the current landscape by outlining the benefits as well as pitfalls of the current differential pricing schemes being advertised by TSPs (Telecom Service Providers). I would like to compliment the TRAI for the same. I would like to strongly oppose allowing any such differential pricing schemes. The TSP's and platform providers are pushing these schemes very strongly, under the veil of altruism, without getting into the real motives behind this. This is what makes all these attempts disingenuous and hard to trust. The dream of digital india and connecting the next billion of our population needs to be fulfilled as soon as possible. And it is the responsibility...
