TRAI extends deadline for comments on net neutrality to Jan 7
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India on Wednesday extended the last date for submission of comments on its paper on differential data pricing to January 7 from December 30. The consultation paper raises concern over zero-rating tariff models — a practice wherein service providers offer free data to users for select applications and websites — and the paper has become key to the debate on Net neutrality. TRAI has also asked Reliance Communication, Facebook’s partner in India for Free Basics, to put the service on hold till the authority considers all the details and terms and conditions of the service. Meanwhile, in its response to TRAI on the paper, Internet and Mobile Association of India on Wednesday said differential pricing violates not only principles of Net neutrality but also TRAI’s own stated principles of pricing that tariffs should be non-discriminatory, transparent, non-anti-competitive, non-predatory, non-ambiguous and non-misleading.
TRAI expected to issue recommendations on net neutrality regulations in a month
