Save The Internet - No Net Neutrality with Free Basics

These days we can find humanity,goodness and patriotism mostly in netizens than the citizens. That means people on social networking sites pretend to show more humanity/patriotism than they show in their real life. 

For example if anybody posts a photograph of a very old woman staying on the roadside and writes on it like., "She was the freedom fighter and is ignored by our government, please share this so that it could reach our government". Then most of the people share this without cross checking any kind of details about that post.(Humanity/Goodness/Patriotism).

Facebook is using this kind of mentality of Indians to get support for their "Free Basics" campaign. Most of you might got the notification from facebook saying .. "Act Now to Save Free Internet Access". Here is that notification screenshot.

 

By looking at the above notification usually people just click on "Act Now" and send the email to TRAI(Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) without knowing or understanding what Free basics or digital equality means. Actually Facebook is misleading users and trying to gather support from them.

Free Basics is same as internet.org(which was opposed by most of the Indians earlier) and it will kill the internet from the way it is available now. AIB guys created a new video on this issue and explained all the things in it. If you still have any doubts after watching this video try watch their previous videos on Save The Internet 1 and Save The Internet 2.  Here is the video

 

The video asks people to support net neutrality by sending an email to TRAI through SavetheInternet.in. The last date to send the mail is December 30. So please respond and send the mail to TRAI. 

Log on to www.savetheinternet.in they have made it easy to send the mail, you just need to copy the text and select your mail(Gmail or Yahoo)., paste the text and send it.

Verdict:
Considering the specification the phone is very powerful from an Indian brand 
which gives tough competition to OnePlus2, Nexus 5X and MotoX Play.

Till now YU released devices with good specs and low price tag. This was the main reason behind the success of previous devices from YU.

But now, though the specs of Yutopia are very good, the price(25K) is looking some what high. It would be a great deal if this phone is available for 20K.
