Infibeam supports Net Neutrality

Favouring net neutrality, Infibeam has taken a stand and is against all the biased Internet Service Providers (ISPs) of the country. Access to equal internet speed for any website or mobile app is the right of every consumer who is paying money for data to the ISPs. Hence, the ISPs cannot be biased and have to provide traffic equally.

In India with over 15 ISPs, there are about 10 crore internet users. Despite huge number of internet subscribers and mobile users, the ISPs, which are also telecom operators, have been affected heavily. As per industry estimates, of the total revenue of the telecom companies, over 75% is contributed by voice and the rest is by value-added services, including data.

Due to high investments and competition, the margins in voice are heavily squeezed. As an impact, the telecom operators are finding one or the other way to increase revenue and profit.

Recently, a few telecom operators announced of giving free internet access to consumers for certain e-commerce, news websites, social media sites and mobile apps. For this, the cost along with profit will be borne by the respective websites.
