Cheap data is great for Indians but not for India's reputation
Original: Cheap data is great for Indians but not for India’s reputation
The Economist argues that India's ultra-cheap mobile data, among the cheapest in the world, has been a boon for hundreds of millions of Indian internet users, but carries a reputational cost for the country. The piece suggests the low-priced, high-volume data environment is linked to problems such as misinformation and spam that shape how India is viewed internationally.
Why now: The argument that India's cheap data boom damages its global image is sparking debate about the trade-offs of its digital expansion.
