Bharti Airtel Defends Its 'Priority Postpaid' Service Amid Neutrality Concerns

Bharti Airtel has defended its new Priority Postpaid service, emphasizing that it adheres to net neutrality norms and does not affect prepaid user service quality. The company argues that restricting 5G features could hinder the development of next-gen networks such as 6G in the country.

Bharti Airtel has confidently stood its ground against concerns over net neutrality, asserting that its Priority Postpaid service neither violates regulatory norms nor degrades service for prepaid users.

Addressing the Department of Telecommunications, Airtel explained that leveraging 5G network slicing is crucial for maximizing India's future 6G potential.

The telecom operator emphasized that Priority Postpaid plans maintain consistent speed for subscribers and clarified that prepaid users still enjoy significant network capacity.
