The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on Tuesday issued its recommendations on net neutrality in India asserting that there should be no intrusion of equal internet access to everyone, based on just the content. TRAI, in its recommendations, has duly noted that internet is an open platform and as such internet services must be non-discriminatory. According to TRAI, operators must be barred from blocking, degrading or slowing internet traffic selectively. Additionally, they must also refrain from getting into any tie-ups that lead to discriminatory treatment of internet traffic. Further, as per TRAI, "Internet of Things (IoT), as a class of service are not excluded from the scope of the restrictions on non-discriminatory treatment."
