The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) is coming up with a comprehensive paper on Net neutrality, which will define what it is and its key principles. The regulator will make its recommendations to the government soon. In a Business Standard report citing unnamed sources, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has sought a full reference on Net neutrality. The telecom regulator, which came up with rules on differential pricing of data in its historic February 8 regulation, was criticised for not addressing many issues that affect independence on the Internet. While Net neutrality activists say there are several issues such as blocking and throttling of speed by operators and creation of fast lanes that need addressing, Trai has remained silent on these.
