Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg hosted a townhall at IIT Delhi before today and is in India. The townhall reminiscing his older days to unnatural powers to questions on irritating Sweet Crush requests and had it all, from guidance to pupils over building things!

Does Internet.org support Net Neutrality completely? To that, Zuckerberg fast chirped, “Absolutely”. “Thus with Free Basics, network providers and operators are letting programmers offer zero-rated services,” he added. Zuckerberg considers Net Neutrality is a significant principle and Facebook is operating at giving a push to it. But how? By executing zero-rated strategies.

Those not in the know how, zero- strategies enable Internet companies by making a deal with telecom providers to grant access to their programs and services or sites completely free of charge. Net neutrality means – equivalent Internet to all – without any discrimination about which particular service will soon be accessible free of charge. It is creating job opportunities and essential for initiation. Large businesses such as Twitter Google and many others are born out of internet neutrality. Also, for people who hop onto the net ought to know that a number of services or Facebook do not make up the Internet.

But Zuckerberg says that Internet.org or Free Basics is merely to get billions of folks online who don’t have accessibility to the Internet. While the idea is commendable, but the manner the social network intends to execute it suggests at vested interests. At the townhall, Zuckerberg yet again attempted to vindicate how net neutrality and Internet.org can coexist, which has now been handily repackaged as Free Basics.

Paradoxically, Zuckerberg said he supports internet neutrality, however there’s demand for stricter regulation India should lay down strong rules in support of internet neutrality and in order the Internet is equivalent to all. In America, there are fairly strong rules affecting internet neutrality. We’re normally supportive of that,” he said.
