Earlier in the day, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India ruled that no company can enter into any arrangement based on discriminatory pricing. This essentially means that the TRAI ruling effectively bans all zero-rated programmes including Facebook's Free Basics programme. Here's how Twitter reacted to the ruling: Far away in Menlo Park, a Mark Zuckerberg is throwing things in his office and screaming about $40 million down the drain — Prasanto K Roy (@prasanto) February 8, 2016 Yay!
