  • New Delhi: Amid a huge hue and cry in social media over net neutrality, Communications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said on Monday that a panel examining the issue will submit its report by the second week of May to help the government take a comprehensive decision on the contentious issue.
    Net neutrality means that governments and internet service providers should treat all data on the internet equally – therefore, not charging users, content, platform, site, application or mode of communication differentially.
    Prasad told media persons here that since internet is created by human beings, the common man should be having access to it without any discrimination. The entire process of a committee of experts going into the pros and cons of the issue will benefit the government in making comprehensive decisions, he said. (IANS)
