The US Congress is going ahead with the secret Trans Pacific Partnership. Fight For The Future is spearheading a Vote against it on 23 April. For Indians, TRAI released a consultation paper ‘Regulatory Framework for Over-The-Top Services’ which aims to break Net Neutrality. Deadline for public response is, surprise, surprise, 24 April 2015! So time to join and do something about both.
First from the Fight For the Future website which says ‘(The US) Congress is about to introduce a bill to fast track a secret deal that could lead to global censorship. It’s called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). We think Internet users everywhere should have a say in decisions that affect the Internet — but if “Fast Track” legislation passes, there is no chance that the public will see the text before the deal is approved. Join the Internet Vote on April 23rd and let’s make it clear to DC how we’re voting: against Fast Track and against Internet censorship.’
Next from the standard letter (which I have signed and emailed) by Save The Internet, ‘(regarding the) consultation paper published by TRAI on March 27, 2015 titled "Regulatory Framework For Over-the-Top (OTT) Services”, worried … makes sweeping assumptions about the Internet, and does not take a neutral and balanced view of … Net Neutrality.
TRAI (should be) outlining measures to protect and advance net neutrality for all Indians. Net neutrality (means) Internet be maintained as an open platform, on which network providers treat all content, applications and services equally, without discrimination. TRAI must … safeguard the interests of citizens … over claims made by some corporate interests.’
As a reminder this blog will keep displaying the ‘Join the Internet Vote’ with the ‘Vote Now’ one time pop-up till the deadline. I hope Save the Internet also manages a pop-up like the BFF or someone can work out a 2 button solution to merge the two coinciding interests.
So, I urge you to immediately sign the Save the Internet letter at [http://www.savetheinternet.in/] without waiting for the 24 April deadline.
I also equally urge you not to forget to vote at the Fight for the Future at [https://www.battleforthenet.com/internetvote/] and vote on 23 April.
But please spread the word – for both Fight for the Future and Save the Internet, on your FB, Twitter or G+ pages.
