Netizen and netas

The revolution has started. Literary meaning of revolution is to change in overnight or within a short period. TRAI has received 27000 emails within a day as per report of the Times of India.Within two days it crossed more one hundred thousands which includes celebrity Neta like Mr Arvind Kejirwal, the Chief Minister of New Delhi.definitely this move by public was required since long time because we are paying for internet but the service is not equal.I had my first internet connection in 2004-05 from  a now defunct  private provider and connectivity used to reach as per sweet will of the provider. Then I had shifted to Broadband connectivity where service provider was BSNL. That was very good and satisfactory service. But in the year 2013 I took the service of TATA DOCOMO and the representative of the service provider had never explained that once I go out of my city it would become roaming.Interestingly DOCOMO dongle is not equipped with facility of changing the SIM card from other service provider.So, one is bound to swallow the bitter tasted bill of DOCOMO with a hefty charge, that went up to  Rs.10000/- in a month for using outside the city. 

Now I am using internet from Airtel a national private service provider with a considerable amount per month. Now the question is that, each service provider is giving link at a speed as per their own whims and fancies.Now Neta like Ravi Shankar Prasad could at least understand the situation and turmoil faced by the ordinary user throughout the country day by day. He has proposed for one high profile committee which will function above TRAI independently and review the recommendations proposed by TRAI from time to time. 

The move is definitely a welcome move and good one to control the rate of different service provider  under a common platform and to bring a common rate for beneficial to consumers.But, question lies here that consumers are like 'once beaten twice shy' and sweet will of those Netas would really see the light of the day? Netizens will wait for Netas again.
