Airtel holds its ground
A spokesperson of telecom major Airtel verified the company’s stand on net neutrality, saying, “Airtel has never been against net neutrality. If anything, we are all for it.” Elaborating on the Airtel Zero initiative, which has been in the eye of a storm since last week, she said, “It is a platform through which app development companies can offer their products to our customers.
A spokesperson of telecom major Airtel verified the company’s stand on net neutrality, saying, “Airtel has never been against net neutrality. If anything, we are all for it.” Elaborating on the Airtel Zero initiative, which has been in the eye of a storm since last week, she said, “It is a platform through which app development companies can offer their products to our customers. They will have to invest in the initiative and we will push the app to the customer.
The customer will be able to download and use these apps free of cost.” On whether this initiative will not hamper net neutrality and ridiculing claims that telecom operators would tamper with the speed of particular websites/apps, she added, “Airtel Zero is not discriminating one app or website from the other. It is a tool that can be used by companies to reduce their marketing costs.”
Then why did Flipkart back out from Airtel Zero?“Flipkart hadn’t signed with Airtel Zero. The company was in talks about joining the initiative but then backed out,” she said, adding that the initiative would give a huge boost to start-ups and that nearly 200 start-ups that are involved with Airtel Zero.
