It's raining 6's and 4's in the IPL Cricket tournament and watching live matches is free. Thanks to the Broadcasters!
Sharing a basic reference Policy and Charging architecture that demonstrates how free data streaming can be configured on a 5G Network.
It is self-explanatory and hence, I am not writing any lengthy explanations or adding other 5G network functions
As you know, the actual implementation may vary based on Operators'/Vendors' discretion & their current ecosystems. However, this reference architecture can surely be your first step towards implementing similar solutions.
