While Trai has laid out authorisation terms and conditions for telecom operators, satellite players, internet service providers and M2M among others, over-the-top (OTT) has been kept out of the mechanism.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has disconnected 2.75 lakh telephone numbers and blocked services to 50 entities in a crackdown on spam calls and unregistered telemarketers.
“In view of this, a need is felt to review and put in place provisions, including regulating tariff for SMS and Voice calls beyond a certain limit, to curb UCC (unsolicited commercial communication) from UTMs using 10-digit numbers (p2p).”
