Net Neutrality: All for the 'Greater' good

Way back in 1946 — Chetan Anand’s movie ‘Neecha Nagar’ made it to the Cannes Film Festival, though unfortunately it was not released in India.

In the film the main antagonist, Sarkar, constructs a hospital for residents of Neecha Nagar. By doing so, he benefits these residents, who have suffered from various diseases due to a ‘nullah’ passing through their locality.
Ironically, this ‘nullah’ too was diverted to Neecha Nagar by Ooncha Nagar residents — a town built by Sarkar, the builder.

The diversion of nullah brought Sarkar great profits, as the real estate property prices skyrocketed.
Sarkar diverted the nullah from Ooncha Nagar to Neecha Nagar despite protests from locals of latter locality. He offered a lot of lucrative deals for some sections, offered jobs, construct a hospital etc — he promised to do a lot of good.
Sarkar’s actions in the movie, I feel, is quite similar to that 'good' promised by the telecom companies in the form of proposed compromises with ‘Net Neutrality’.
The telecos want to benefit people, who will be getting free apps, free usage of internet.
But this benefit too will come at a price, like it did for Neecha Nagar residents. They lost lives and were forced to live a cursed existence, embrace diseases due to the dirty nullah for getting the hospital. Here, netizens have to be prepared to compromise on their cyber freedom to get the 'perceived' benefits offered by these companies.
And much like the Sarkar of that movie who gave the residents diseases, it’s the companies which will take away your cyber freedom. It’s not only about freedom but, it will lead to a world where formation of a company like Infosys — which has a 'rags to riches' story — will be just utopian talk.
Only those, who can afford to pay these telecos and bear the costs of being available free for the consumers will be able to thrive. In other words only those have capital will survive. It clearly shuts the door for more than 90% of the Indians.

But, it’s okay as its being done for the greater good.
Is it really...
