FCC scraps net neutrality

[Vaibhav Aggarwal, Catalyst & Group CEO]

Well yes this is overwhelming. But If we have such a strong case, for a large, (quite a few) well funded community like ours, then we should have some data, stats and presentation prepared, and file a law suit in any court around the world and stall the process for a larger dialogue as Net Access is a global Issue (Subject) now. In my opinion, it will definitely empower the communities' stand on this.
