TRAI

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India or TRAI has finally released the draft of the consultation paper, which aims to discuss the issue of regulating OTTs or Over The Top players in India.

As per TRAI’s latest numbers coming in, Reliance Jio is still #1 in 4G download speed. Infact, they have shown immense improvement in the overall speed, and now, they are 2X times better than Airtel.

Flushed with new subscribers, and rising profits, cash-rich Reliance Jio has beaten Vodafone to claim #2 position as per revenues. But how long will this lead last?

As per confidential RTI replies, it is clear that Apple has revolted against TRAI’s Do Not Call app, and they have no intentions of giving up control over their ecosystem.

The ban, or rather ‘derecognition’ of iPhones by TRAI and all telecom networks can actually happen in the next 6 months, in case Govt. of India accepts TRAI’s latest recommendations pertaining to spam calls.

The biggest, and the strongest statement which has come out from TRAI in recent years: User data belongs to the users, and not the companies!

Critical applications of the Internet such as remote surgery and self-driving cars are among those which has been kept outside the provisions of Net Neutrality.

As per the letter shot off to the PMO, TRAI’s public wifi model is a national security risk, and should be immediately terminated.

Between February 20th and March 16th, TRAI conducted an Independent Drive Test (IDT) method test for measuring speed of various telecom providers.

COAI, one of the most influential and powerful lobbies of telecom operators in India has strongly opposed TRAI’s recommendations for public WiFi in India.
