NASSCOM proposes a synergistic model for Internet platforms, applications and TSPs while strongly advocating net-neutrality

New Delhi, Apr 22 (IBNS): National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) on Wednesday shared the key highlights of its response to the TRAI consultative paper on Regulatory framework for OTT services.

According to NASSCOM, the advent of the Internet, proliferation of mobile telephony, adoption of social media, big data/analytics, cloud, IoT etc. combined with the burgeoning growth of the start-up and innovation ecosystem and the Digital India vision have created the perfect confluence for breakthrough economic development and transformation of our country.  

This transformation would cover all vital social and economic spheres including education, healthcare, financial inclusion etc

R. Chandrashekhar, President, NASSCOM said, “Net neutrality creates an open and level playing field that facilitates innovation, adoption and inclusion. The other key priority is the proliferation of an affordable telecom infrastructure. These essential building blocks of the digital revolution are not contradictory and can and need to be synergised. NASSCOM has advocated a constructive and forward looking definition of net neutrality to achieve these objectives”.

Sanjeev Bhikchandani, Chair of NASSCOM Internet Council said, “Any stifling regulations restricting access to Internet or Internet platforms and services would not only seriously hamper this prospect of development but also suppress growth and success of innovation driven tech start-ups and SME companies”.
