The correct option is A Only 1
Ans:28)(a)Expl: Net neutrality, basically, is the principle that service providers should treat all data on the Internet equally and not discriminate against, or charge differently, any website or service.
The government panel on Net neutrality has recommended that apps offering domestic calling be brought under the regulatory framework prescribed for telecom operators, but those providing messaging and international calling services over the Internet be kept free from licensing requirements. The report suggests that controversial plans such as Airtel Zero be allowed with prior clearance from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, but opposes platforms such as Internet.org of Facebook. It rejects the demand for regulation of over-the-top (OTT) messaging services. But the panel is okay with subjecting VoIP calls within the country to regulation — and calls for a liberal approach on OTT VoIP international call services
