Streaming Platforms Resist TRAI’s Proposal To Regulate Content

Streaming giants like Netflix, Amazon, and Warner Bros, along with industry groups such as MPA, AVIA, and BIF, opposed TRAI’s bid to regulate them, arguing they are not telecom operators. CDNs, they asserted, only cache and deliver content without providing end-to-end communication or bandwidth. Industry leaders emphasized that CDNs function as telecom service customers, not providers.
