[kictanet] Airtel wants piece of Google, Facebook revenues

Cdohnio

Indeed. In fact let me also say that a Internet.org (Facebook's attempt to close out any other content by subsiding/or offering free connectivity through telcos) is also already with us. So we have a lot to discuss. 

Would really like to get a feel of how the regulator and policy makers feel about this and their views on how this issue will play out.
