India Reviews Net Neutrality Rules to Address 5G Network Slicing Services
The Indian government is reviewing net neutrality rules to accommodate advancements in 5G technology, particularly network slicing. Current regulations prohibit telecom operators from offering differentiated internet speeds or charging varied rates for specialized services like gaming, healthcare, and autonomous vehicles. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has been asked to suggest necessary changes, ensuring the internet remains open without preferential treatment to specific content. This review follows similar considerations in the EU and the US, aiming to balance innovation with net neutrality principles.
