MediaNama Challenges TRAI on Network Slicing

At TRAI's open house on quality of service, MediaNama's Nikhil Pahwa opposed service-specific network slicing, warning it could let telecom operators prioritise their own services and violate net neutrality. He cited past Airtel throttling and VoIP blocking. Pahwa also criticised TRAI's RTI response about communications with Reliance Jio and urged delaying any slicing decision until net neutrality rules are settled.
