MediaNama to TRAI: Net neutrality should govern network slices

MediaNama submitted objections to the Indian regulator TRAI's consultation on 5G network slices, demanding that net neutrality rules apply to them. According to the authors, slices must not be used to discriminate against applications and services by speed, latency, reliability, and price.

• MediaNama demands net neutrality extend to 5G slices
• Slices must not differentiate services by speed, latency, price
• Reliance Jio and GSMA propose allowing slices for specific services
• Principle 'what's not allowed directly is not allowed indirectly' should apply
