  • Indian telecom operators, including Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone-Idea, have recommended that internet companies contribute to telecom network costs.
  • They propose that these contributions should be based on factors like traffic consumption, turnover, and the number of users.
  • The telecom operators argue that this would create a level playing field and help boost their margins in a market with low average revenue per user.
  • Critics, however, raise concerns about potential violations of net neutrality and the possibility of shifting costs to consumers if internet companies are forced to cover network expenses.

    If they can do this, can’t those companies also charge them for the number of users that are using their services?
