NET NEUTRALITY

Recommendations:

• The MSB, which could include telecom service providers, Internet service providers, content providers, researchers, academic and technical community, civil society organisations, and the government, should be set up as a non-profit entity.
  
  
• The role of the MSB shall be to provide advice and support to DoT in the monitoring and enforcement of net neutrality principles.
  
  
• The MSB may also be required to investigate complaints regarding the violation of net neutrality.
  
  
• TRAI also suggested that the MSB help DoT in maintenance of a repository of reasonable traffic management practices.
  
  
• The net neutrality principles adopted by DoT were technology neutral and would apply equally to 5G technology, the telecom regulator clarified.
