yup. Im against it for maximising revenue for the ISPs
Im for it theoretically. Like if the infrastructure of the Internet itself can understand what is critical data and what is not, and prioritize accordingly, in the case of bottlenecks or problems.
am sorry , you are getting it all wrong that is not how internet works, web treats data as data, the different protocols we use Https/http, ftp, BT, and is case of voip sip: etc use data without discriminating against it and there is no way to decide at what speed which data should travel , what TRAI which is in pockets of isps is trying to create multiple highways where they are speed cops and can write you a challan unless you pay up and that is so wrong on so many fronts, isps job is give my data at whatever price , package fixed by them and it is up to me how use it.
they do this and you won't see a Indian version of netflix, hulu etc and this what they are trying to stifle, innovation and they are afraid of it, worldwide esp in USA and India, isps are also in major big time media ,DHT, production , movies you name it and they already invested in that and they trying to maintain a monoply over that , web is a big threat to that business cause of ppl we call cord cutters who are not dependent on regular T.V . going after OTT is the first step, they tried in USA where it is same with comsat, verzion , time etc all are invested in media and they failed ,OTT is just an excuse real target it going after media providers on net.
on coming to services in India it down right path tic , i have worked in Sweden for over a year and i paid 15 euro for 1000/1000 fiber with no limits and 90 HD channels [ am leaving again in 2 days and frankly one of the reasons is internet out here]
FUP is a myth crated by isps , data costs but not that much esp since our own Indian telcos like tata and reliance are largest sellers of B/W to international isp like in Europe and they making killing out there . airtel is hugely invested in African markets and is now looking at Europe , these guys have already created a monoply , voip apps are not a threat to them unless they learn to evolve according to market and provide much faster, cheaper and reliable service like they in most of Europe and east asia .
p.s if they ever try regulate it you could use a vpn and tunnel voip over that and there already voip clients out there which mask their traffic as https , going after webz is futile web will always route against any damage.
