Internet services should be non-discriminatory: TRAI on Net Neutrality
Telecom regulator TRAI on Tuesday came out with its much-awaited recommendations on Net Neutrality holding that Internet services should be non-discriminatory. "The service providers should be restricted from entering into any arrangement, agreement or contract, by whatever name called, with any person, natural or legal, that has the effect of discriminatory treatment based on content, sender or receiver, protocols or user equipment," a release issued by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India said. The paper said the Internet Access Service Providers may take reasonable measurements for traffic management, provided the same are proportionate, transient and transparent. The TRAI said for monitoring and investigation of violations, a collaborative mechanism has been recommended to be established in the form of a multi-stakeholder body comprising members representing different categories of TSPs and Internet Service Providers, large and small content providers, representative from research and academia, civil society organisations and consumer representatives.
