First let them give proper plans and speed on 3g. Then if time permits and I find a real tangible difference then I might consider 4g. Right now, if these telecom providers give proper 3g speeds then there is no need for 4g on mobile platforms. As even HD movies will play well on 3g.

Unfortunately, in India the proper 3g speeds are being termed as 4g to make you pay more.

What speeds are you getting in 3G/4G?

EDIT: I understand, 3G speeds are marketed as 4G, but I don't get any speed in 3G, but rates for 3G and 4G are the exact same..

They dont give us proper 3G and "Broadband" speeds and are yet to utilize the spectrum fully,forget 4G at the moment,its literally not an upgrade over "3G"

3G is somewhat around that few mbps mark I guess and 4g is when the device speed goes into double digits I guess. And I have no luck trying to get 4g on my phone.

4G is roughly supposed to be 25mbps plus

Flipkart backflips to net neutrality

The battle for net neutrality got a boost on Tuesday with e-commerce giant Flipkart pulling out of the Airtel Zero platform, with which it was in talks to partner with.

Airtel Zero allows customers to access certain apps and websites without paying data charges as long as the makers of those apps and services pay Airtel for this free access. Experts argue that this goes against the concept of net neutrality, which deems that all data on the internet is equal and should not be discriminated against.

Flipkart announced its decision after a widespread backlash against the firm on social media and users voting down its app on the Android and Apple app stores after its CEO, Sachin Bansal, tweeted in support of Airtel Zero.

aren't those free things/services are different than net neutrality?? can anyone clear my doubt?
and How this free things (like internet.org) came into discussion??
free things/stuffs is different and net neutrality is different? right?
we want net neutrality because we don't want to pay for each site we visit (as sites does not want money from us)...
so why internet.org is big issue?? I don't understand that..
