Broadband India Forum warns app-specific network slicing could breach net neutrality

The Broadband India Forum told TRAI that Quality-on-Demand for specific apps like live streaming and cloud gaming could amount to paid prioritisation and content discrimination. It said network slicing can coexist with net neutrality only if deployment is transparent and non-discriminatory, and urged TRAI to define "typical speed" clearly.

• BIF: app-specific QoD amounts to paid prioritisation and content discrimination
• Slicing is acceptable if transparent and non-discriminatory for general internet
• BIF asks TRAI for an unambiguous definition of "typical speed"
• Comments target TRAI's proposed amendments to 2024 QoS rules
