However, this 'support' for net neutrality has been well masked and DoT has actually proposed bringing OTT services, especially the ones offering domestic voice calling, under the same regulatory framework that governs the domestic telecom operators.
The report's tone seems to indicate that it supports the rights of the internet subscribers to visit and use any services and applications "without restrictions". DoT has favoured policy regulation that would put curbs or tax the popular messaging and calling services like WhatsApp and Viber. The report released by the Department of Telecom ( DoT) on Thursday is unlikely to soothe the ruffled feathers of lakhs of telecom subscribers in India. The debate over net neutrality is far from over, it seems.
