OTT, tech companies need not worry about telcos flouting net neutrality rules, says DoT

New Delhi: The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) believes over-the-top (OTT) players and technology companies have no reason to be concerned about telecom companies flouting net neutrality rules, as the operators are bound by licence conditions in ensuring that internet traffic remains non-discriminatory.

While the government has not made any decision on a revenue share between telcos and OTT players, the issue will have no bearing on net neutrality if at all some sort of mechanism is decided in the future, DoT officials said.
