After the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India received over a million comments on its consultation paper on the regulation of over-the-top service players, as many as 73,326 people posted their views on the Department of Telecommunications report relating to Net Neutrality on the government's platform for citizen engagement, mygov.in.
