Trai releases a new consultation paper on net neutrality asking for views and counter comments
FirstpostThe Telecom Regulatory Authority of India on Wednesday floated a consultation paper on the much-debated net neutrality issue, seeking stakeholders view by February 15, and counter-comments by February 28. “Transparency is one of the key enabling factors towards ensuring adherence to the nondiscrimination principles set forth in any net neutrality framework,” the consultation paper said. “In an net neutrality context, the scope of transparency obligations can range from obligations cast upon TSPs to disclose technical information on QoS parameters, to providing high-level information that is widely understandable and may enable consumers to make more informed decisions, and detect violations,” it added.
