U.S. Tech Giants Oppose Airtel, Jio, Vodafone Idea's Internet Regulation Efforts Amid OTT Tensions Over WhatsApp

U.S. tech giants are opposing efforts by Indian telecommunications companies, including Airtel, Jio, and Vodafone Idea, to regulate internet services. The telecom companies are advocating for the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to impose restrictions on over-the-top (OTT) communication providers such as WhatsApp. However, the Alliance of Internet Companies (AIC) is actively pushing back against these regulatory proposals. The ongoing conflict highlights the tension between traditional telecom services and digital communication platforms in India.
