India's telecom regulator, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai), has proposed new quality of service rules to support 5G network slicing, a technology that creates dedicated virtual networks for different services. The draft could allow telecom companies to introduce separate pricing for 4G and 5G plans. It also proposes stricter penalties for violations, compensation for prolonged network outages, and new rules to ensure network slicing does not affect overall service quality.
