DoT readies big-ticket changes in telecom policy
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is considering sweeping changes in the country's proposed new telecom policy. The department is planning a complete overhaul of the archaic Indian Telegraph Act. Under the new telecom policy, DoT also wants to replace the rollout obligation clause for broadband operators with a new incentive scheme. Other key proposals include re-farming of spectrum with operators for 3G and 4G and setting up of a telecom security council to oversee and audit all issues in this area.
The internal groups in DoT, set up to look into various aspects of the telecom industry and put together the new telecom policy, have given broad suggestions which will come up for final discussions before a draft policy statement is prepared.
TDSAT blames govt for DTH portability delay
In what may come as a surprise, it is the government and not the private DTH operators which is responsible for the lack of interoperability among the various DTH set-top boxes.
Further, thanks to inaction on the part of the government and the regulator, private DTH firms have continued to violate the licensing conditions over the past eight years.
Taking a critical note of the Union government’s functioning in the broadcast sector, the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) has said that due to lack of active policy initiatives by both the information and broadcasting ministry and the sector regulator — Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) — millions of DTH consumers today have no choice but to become slaves of their respective DTH service providers.
