- 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.
