This is apathy, soon the elite will try to get hold of the internet and do what they did to television.

Tata Docomo did something like this in 2010

The tariff plan --Pay Per Site-- allows the subscribers to pay only for the websites they surf regularly instead paying hefty monthly rentals for data, Tata Docomo said in a statement.

The plan offers customers the power to decide on what they surf the most and purchase plans suited and tailored to specific needs.

Pay Per Site offers two combination packs—those only interested in single websites need to pay Rs 10 per site, whereas those with multiple site browsing needs can opt for a combo pack at Rs 25 per month, Tata Docomo's Head of Marketing Gurinder Singh Sandhu said.

Modi has confirmed that he will not allow it but not sure about Mr Gandhi as he clearly said he wants poor people's sandle and rich people's Mercedes to be taxed at same GST rate

Cong. will continue to fight for single GST rate: Rahul
