<p>Maybe you could consider a soft launch for the paper to coincide with with a national stakeholder discussion on the same issue. Happy to help set this up. I agree with you the issue is not just facebook, there is more that needs to be understood and unravelled.</p>

<p>I think we need a sober discussion on this matter for it to be fully understood. Kictanet can take a lead on this.<br><br></p>

I'm amazed at how reporting on the TRAI decision has been summarised to banning Free Basics; the bigger picture and ruling relegated to the back seat...<br>
