TRAI recommends rules for net neutrality, telcos say narrow view
Telecom regulator TRAI today recommended measures for non-discriminatory access to all content and services available on Internet with some exceptions as required under government rule, court order and the like. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, in its recommendation on net neutrality issued today, has cautioned that discriminatory treatment would include any form of restriction or interference including practices like blocking, degrading, slowing down or granting preferential speeds. Telecom industry body Cellular Operators Association of India called the recommendation as "narrow definition of net neutrality" to which it agreed in-principle. An Edelweiss report said recommendations to exclude content delivery networks from net neutrality restrictions will give integrated operators like Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio an upper hand versus pure-play connectivity providers.
