2. Definition of Net Neutrality : Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers (ISPs) must treat all data on the Internet the same, without discriminating or charging differently by user, content, website, platform, or application . Importance of Net Neutrality : Net neutrality ensures that ISPs do not prioritize certain types of traffic or charge users differently based on the content they access, which promotes a free and open Internet . Overview of Google Caching Services : Google Caching Services store copies of web pages to improve access speed and reliability, allowing users to access cached pages when the original page is unavailable. Net Neutrality

3. Net neutrality Principle of treating all Internet communications equally : Net neutrality advocates for all data on the Internet to be treated the same, without discrimination or preferential treatment by ISPs . Pros and Cons of Net Neutrality : Supporters argue that net neutrality promotes innovation, competition, and freedom of expression. Opponents argue that it stifles investment and innovation by ISPs . Role of NRA in ensuring Net Neutrality : The National Regulatory Authority (NRA) plays a crucial role in enforcing net neutrality regulations to ensure that ISPs comply with the principles of net neutrality.

4. Causes of service degradation : Service degradation can occur due to congestion in IP networks, traffic management mechanisms implemented by ISPs (such as blocking or throttling), and network security issues . Types of service degradation : Service degradation can affect the Internet access service as a whole or individual applications, leading to congestion and the need for traffic management by ISPs . Regulatory intervention to maintain service quality : Regulatory authorities may intervene to impose minimum Quality of Service ( QoS ) requirements on ISPs to improve service quality and eliminate degradation. Degradation of Internet Service

5. Factors driving growth in fixed and mobile Internet traffic : The increasing use of data by each subscriber, availability of powerful mobile devices, and fast mobile networks are driving the growth in Internet traffic . Declining growth rate of traffic over time : Despite the overall increase in data traffic, the growth rate of traffic is declining over time for both fixed and mobile networks . Impact of Net Neutrality on Internet service providers : Net neutrality regulations can impact ISPs by limiting their ability to prioritize certain types of traffic or charge differential rates based on content or application. Business Aspects of Net Neutrality

6. Conditions requiring NRA intervention : The NRA may intervene when there is insufficient availability of Internet access service offers with satisfactory quality at a reasonable price . Ensuring Quality of Service ( QoS ) for consumers : The NRA plays a crucial role in ensuring that consumers receive a satisfactory quality of Internet access service without degradation or discrimination. Role of the NRA ( National R egulatory Authority)

7. Purpose of Google Cache : Google Cache stores copies of web pages to improve access speed and reliability, allowing users to access cached pages when the original page is unavailable . How Google Cache works : Google Cache contains a snapshot of the raw HTML that Googlebot received from the server, which is then rendered by the user's browser . For 90 days. Benefits of Google Cache for users and website owners : Google Cache allows users to access web pages when the original page is down or experiences a temporary timeout, improving user experience and reducing server load for website owners. Google Caching Services

8. Overview of BSNL's caching plan : BSNL's caching plan aims to improve network performance by storing frequently accessed content closer to users, reducing latency and improving access speed . Implementation and impact on network performance : By implementing caching services, BSNL can reduce the load on its network infrastructure and improve overall network performance for users. BSNL Caching Plan 2020-2022

9. Balancing benefits and potential abuses of differentiated QoS : While differentiated Quality of Service ( QoS ) can bring significant benefits, regulatory approaches must strike a balance to prevent harm while allowing benefits . Importance of regulatory approaches to maintain Net Neutrality : Regulatory approaches are crucial in maintaining net neutrality and ensuring that ISPs treat all Internet communications equally, without discrimination or preferential treatment.
