Fair share fee on large traffic-generating OTTs won’t violate net neutrality: COAI

A fresh row has erupted over the need for OTT platforms to pay service fees to mobile operators.

The OTT players said any fee violates net neutrality principles even as they underlined the fact that OTT services lead to growth in data usage, which benefits the telcos.

Telcos have been batting for compensation from OTT players for using their networks. OTT refers to applications and services that are accessible over the internet and ride on an operator’s network.
