The department of telecommunications (
DoT) has set up a ‘net-neutrality’ committee to examine the economic impact of co-existence of a regulated telecom services sector and an unregulated content and applications sector, including over the top (OTT) services.
The committee will also recommend an overall policy, besides regulatory and technical responses, after assessing the issues related to these.
Under the principle of net-neutrality, telecom operators or anyone playing a role in delivery of internet must not impose any discriminating barrier for accessing internet or internet-based services.
