<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: The over over-the-top (OTT) service providers should be regulated while keeping the interest of consumers in consideration, any change must prevent “unintended adverse consequences” on consumers, according to the research and advocacy firm CUTS International<\/a>.

The telecom operators, which are currently intensifying the roll outs of fifth-generation or 5G networks in India, have suggested a revenue-sharing model with the OTT players for the usage of mobile networks.

The premise of the whole argument is based on ‘same service same rules’. Cellular Operators Association of India<\/a> (COAI<\/a>) had suggested levying a \"usage charge\" for actual traffic carried by OTT on telecom networks. The usage charge will be decided mutually between telcos and OTT players who must contribute towards creating and developing digital telecom infrastructure in India in exchange for using the services.

“The consumer's voice has been missing from the debate on OTT regulation<\/a>. Regulations are aimed at preserving and enhancing consumer interest. Any change must prevent unintended adverse consequences on consumers, and should be beneficial for them,” said Amol Kulkarni, Director (Research), CUTS International.

CUTS Internation said that subjecting OTT service providers<\/a> to “additional unreasonable regulations” may negatively affect consumers. It noted that, in particular, smaller OTT service providers that provide offer customised content to consumers may not be in a position to enter into mutually beneficial cost-sharing pacts with the telecom operators.

“Their services may be deprioritised or disallowed on the network, impairing consumer choice for accessing services they desire,” it said.

Network usage fee not against net neutrality: COAI<\/a><\/h2>

The industry body’s reaction comes after the Internet & Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), which has Amazon, Meta, and the likes as its members, opposed such a levy, arguing that it goes against the principles of net neutrality.<\/p><\/div>
