Hello everyone,

> As Wikipedians, I'm not sure how many support Net Neutrality, but as Netizens I'm sure most of them are supporting Net Neutrality.

I'd certainly like to use {citation needed} here, but let's give it a pass for now ;)

> I do recollect how Wikipedia helped protest against SOPA and PIPA. I think this kind of protest will help the maximum community of Netizens as whole. Also, as Indian Wikipedians, we would grab some eyballs which would have impact on contributions to Wikimedia projects as well.

Firstly, SOPA/PIPA is not equal to net neutrality debate going on in India. Secondly, sopa/pipa was for the US where WMF is registered and run the servers from.

And "grab some eyeballs" is certainly not a justification to run site wide banners misguiding people.
What sort of impact on contributions are you even suggesting of getting out from this? Do you even have any statistics on the rise of number of contributions on Wikimedia projects after sopa blackout?

Sure, allow the internet to penetrate the Indian market.

I certainly need citation here, which telecom company has slowed down the competitors site? If they want to speed their partners site, they certainly could, because its their private property. Also these providers fear the impact of loosing a customer segment if they start fast laning select sites and services only.

> "Just imagine a day a paid encyclopedia loads faster in all ISPs then Wikipedia." Do we want to see such a day? 

Seriously? Wikipedia is where it is today because of the successful disruptive model, everyone (I assume) knows this! Can you even name one encyclopedia and one isp who would even think to implement what you wrote above? If any telecom company even did so, they sure would be running out of business.
