The announcement of Airtel Zero - a platform where businesses can pay Airtel to offer users free data access to their apps - has turned many people off Flipkart. The online retailer was reputedly one of the first partners for Airtel Zero, and Flipkart CEO Sachin Bansal has been one of the few prominent persons to speak out in support of zero-rating plans like Airtel Zero.
In retaliation, many users have taken to giving one-star ratings to Flipkart's apps onAndroid and iOS. To make sure that the message is not lost, people also mention net neutrality in their reviews.
On Google Play if you look at the newest reviews, then you can see that seven of the ten latest reviews all bring up net neutrality. In iTunes, the latest ten reviews all mention net neutrality.
The issue of net neutrality has been gaining visibility in India in the last few months, starting when Airtel first announced a special data rate for Skype calls. The company back-pedalled on this after user outrage, saying it would instead wait for a Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) consultation paper on regulation of apps before making any plans.
Since then, the first draft of the Trai paper was released, seeking views on the framework. The draft had several issues, from vague language to discussing issues unrelated to telecom.
