India for net neutrality part of license |
The Indian government said May 5 that it must keep the internet accessible to all and will make net neutrality a part of the license conditions for telecom companies. Telecom and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad asserted that the government believes that blocking and deliberate slowing down/speeding up of lawful content on internet should not be allowed to give users unrestricted access. The government stand is regardless of the recommendations of telecom regulator TRAI, said the Minister in Parliament. When giving any license to any telecom service operator, it could be put into the terms and conditions.
