Flipkart pulls out of Airtel Zero

[avi]

After facing significant backlash on its reported tie-up with Airtel's net neutrality violating service Airtel Zero, e-commerce major Flipkart has pulled out of the service.

Flipkart spokesperson told that they "will be walking away from the ongoing discussions with Airtel for their platform Airtel Zero" and committing themselves to the "larger cause of Net Neutrality in India".

Congratulations to all the Net-Warriors.

Hopefully this will kill 'zero' and any future clones.

They are too small to make any impact. So, I won't really be much concerned with them. Airtel and flipkart are major players that could have changed the tide.

But, it's not all over until trai actually announces our win.
You can take reliance later on if need be. Lets just not loose focus from the main issue from trai.
