NayaTel – An ‘ISP’ that needs to die immediately before it breeds. The existence of the company and its policies are a threat to internet freedom in Pakistan. What they are effectively doing is turning the internet into Cable TV service where you pay more to get better speeds for 'some' websites and the rest of the sites will be served via a slow connection. This is against what a free and true internet stands for and I wish the company dies off quickly, a bankruptcy will be even better. The name of the executives responsible for this 'idea' should be outed, they should be named and shamed across Pakistan and the world for their screwed up senseless internet policies and view.
While I am at it, some mentions: Jazz, Zong, Telenor should also be named and shamed for their criminal practices of injected JavaScript’s to page ends of websites that aren’t using SSL.
Jazz, Zong, Telenor should also be named and shamed for offering ‘free’ access to the websites like Facebook and other messaging services. This maybe surprising to some people, “Why criticize something you get for free?” The idea behind this ‘free’ access is what can eventually make internet a subscription in Pakistan, where you not only subscribe to an internet package but also subscribe to which websites you can visit. This will kill innovation when the small guys website can’t load on your phone or computer and the big guys can pay and offer ‘free’ access. India is one of the countries that has banned Facebook and other companies from offering free access to their sites using ISPs and we should follow suit.
It is surprising to me as to why I can’t find anyone writing on this in Pakistan.
I do not use NayaTel, nor do I live in an area that supports it, but reading about it's 'offers,' I had to write my thoughts and also wanted to know how others felt.
