- Indian telecom operators, including Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone-Idea, have recommended that internet companies contribute to telecom network costs.
- They propose that these contributions should be based on factors like traffic consumption, turnover, and the number of users.
- The telecom operators argue that this would create a level playing field and help boost their margins in a market with low average revenue per user.
- Critics, however, raise concerns about potential violations of net neutrality and the possibility of shifting costs to consumers if internet companies are forced to cover network expenses.
Are they wanting a tax, or just to be able to collude to put up prices for specific customers?
It’s like you pay them to deliver a letter, and when they get to the destination they expect the recipient to pay them again for delivering it.
They want Facebook and Google to have a cell network charge every time a cell network user requests those pages.
It’s an insanely greedy move
That’s already the case though, I pay for internet, so does Google.
Exactly, so now they want google to pay them for the traffic google already paid for, because it’s being delivered to one of the cell network’s customers
It’s legit nearly a mafia tactic
