| A Parliamentary Committee will discuss the controversial issue of net neutrality tomorrow at a meeting where officials of telecom companies are expected to present their views.
The Standing Committee of Parliament will examine the issue over which there has been an uproar for some time, with even MPs voicing concern in Parliament during the just-concluded Budget session.
During the meeting tomorrow, telecom company officials are expected to make their views known on the issue that triggered a row after a consultation paper floated by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) last month suggested that net neutrality could end, sources said.

All parties including ruling BJP and its ally Shiv Sena had voiced their concerns on the matter following a Calling Attention Motion by Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien in Rajya Sabha.
When contacted today about tomorrow's meeting, Mr O'Brien said, "I am glad that Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansari allowed Calling Attention Motion on it (earlier this month). And I am glad that the matter has gone to the next stage."
He said he hopes that the government sees sense and does not consider the TRAI consultation paper.
