Beschreibung:
Since the coining of the term “Net Neutrality” by Tim Wu way back in 2003 has been one of the hotly debated regulatory issue across the world. Country regulators have taken varied positions in defining net neutrality, with some such as the Federal Communications Commission in the U.S. even reversing its net neutrality policies. There are still grey areas in enforcing and implementing net neutrality rules. The Indian regulator tilted more towards pure net neutrality, despite lobbying against the same by the telcos and ISPs. However, in the U.S., Net Neutrality regulations have swayed from pure to “no” Net Neutrality. In this chapter, we will deep dive in to the definitions of net neutrality and its ramifications of enforcing it for both the proponents and opponents. Specifically, we will try to answer the following questions: – What are the nuances of Net Neutrality? – Is the Indian regulation and policy regarding Net Neutrality in tune with rest of the world?– How to detect and enforce net neutrality regulations?
