Signature campaign ‘Save the internet’ based on falsehood, misinformation: COAI to Trai

Recent signature campaign ‘Save the internet’ against the proposal of network usage fee, that was signed by several startups, is based on ‘falsehood and misinformation’, telecom industry body COAI said in a letter to regulator Trai.Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) said the proposal of ‘fair share charge’ will put the onus on large global entities, who are profiting from India, but not contributing to its economy or infrastructure development.

The industry body, whose members include Jio, Airtel, Vodafone Idea etc, said the people and companies are being misguided by propagating unfounded fears and supposed scenarios by certain entities with vested interests.
