Firms vs Free Web: Net Neutrality at Risk?

Should telecom companies decide which sites are free and which sites are paid? Shouldn't we, as users, be allowed to go online to whatever site we want to? In other words, should there be net neutrality? It's a raging debate after Flipkart, one of India's most iconic startups, finds itself in the midst of a controversy over whether its agreement with Airtel Zero violates the principle of net neutrality. Under the agreement, Airtel users would incur no charges for using the Flipkart app with the company reimbursing Airtel directly for this. Critics argue that this alters the nature of the Internet as a leveler where big players like Flipkart and smaller companies have equal access to consumers.
