Our work to
Research
The core of our work on equal-rating is our research agenda. Over 2015-2016, we will support field research and analysis to dig into deep questions around user behavior and real-world impact of various subsidization plans, all targeting questions at the intersection of access and openness. Some of the questions we hope to drive insight into include:
- q1
- q2
Fostering innovation
In April 2016, we announced our forthcoming Innovation Prize, a public challenge to encourage creative new ideas on business models, practices, and technologies to connect the unconnected to the open Internet. We expect the event to take place in fall 2016.
Policy engagement
In two filings in India, we offered some deeper thoughts from a public policy / regulatory perspective on how to approach subsidization and the intersection of access and openness:
- June 2016: Filing: Comments by the Mozilla Corporation on the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s Consultation Paper on Free Data
- December 2015: Filing: Mozilla Comment on TRAI consultation paper on differential pricing
