Dr Arun Mehta Vs Tata Indicom

Dr Arun Mehta is a highly respected veteran Internet technologist in India who is looked upon as a father figure when it comes to following Internet developments in India. Dr Arun Mehta is always in the forefront when it comes to protecting  Netizen's rights. True to his tradition, he had taken up a fight against VSNL's efforts to block Internet Telephony service provider's websites.

The dispute is now due to come up for hearing shortly and there would be a debate on "Free Speech" on the Internet.
