Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has started an industry-wide consultation on issues related to network traffic management practices and multi-stakeholder body outlined for net neutrality. The consultation paper issued by TRAI discusses various challenges in measurement of internet traffic and compilation of reasonable traffic management practices.
The objective of this consultation paper is to deliberate the issues related to traffic management practices and the Multi Stakeholder body. It discusses about establishment of a framework to formulate traffic management practices. The paper also discusses about the issues related to composition, function, Governance Structure of multi-stakeholder body.
The net neutrality principles -- approved by the telecom department in 2018 -- prohibit service providers from discriminating against internet content and services by blocking, throttling or according preferential higher speeds. Simply put, this means that entire internet traffic should be available to everyone on equal terms without any discrimination, and service providers cannot indulge in practices such as throttling any web traffic or providing fast lanes for specific content.
