Wait! Until you read it, actualy its a matter of Airtel that has desired permission from telecom regulator Trai to offer video content through a private network, but exclusively to its customers. The company fears that the service may be in "violation of principles of net neutrality".
Airtel asked whether the offer of video content through closed electronic communications network (CECN) -which had been left out in the regulator's February order banning discriminatory tariffs on the internet -would be permitted. The company sa id it had been approached by "one of the big global content providers who wishes to offer their video content on exclusive basis over CECN of Airtel". In a letter written to the Trai secretary , airtel wrote.
"We submit that while such an arrangement with the global content provider over CECN along with its exclusive offerings to our customers would be compliant to regulations, it may well be viewed by some stakeholders in violation of principles of net neutrality," Airtel's chief regulatory officer said in the letter. "Prior to arriving at any business decision on such an arrangement, we request the authority (Trai) to advise us if we can go ahead with it," Airtel added.
