Facebook’s new Wi-Fi initiative promises net neutrality in India:
Express Wi-Fi promises net neutrality at a discounted price, marking a major change from Free Basics’s limited browsing abilities. This follows a move by Google to bring free Wi-Fi to 100 train stations in India by the end of this year.
Under Free Basics, users would only be able to access certain sites chosen by the company though the service would come at no cost. This “basic” access is what prompted hundreds of complaints and culminated in a ruling by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India to effectively ban such services.
With Express Wi-Fi, however, Facebook is reportedly offering affordable plans that don’t put such limits on customers.
