Context of the Telecom Act - Key Issues & Concerns

In light of the Telecommunications Act, 2023 recieving President’s assent, numerous questions have been raised regarding its applicability, oversight mechanisms, and how it is different from the 2022 version of the Bill. This Act aims to bring significant changes to the telecom sector by replacing outdated laws, including the century-old Indian Telegraph Act of 1885. It covers a wide ambit of several key issues, including authorization norms, broad definition of telecom services, possible weakening of encryption practices, consumer protection, and surveillance.

In an effort to clarify and discuss some of the vagueness in the Act and its impact on both users and businesses, Rootconf is organising an online discussion on 29th Dec at 6 PM IST. The panellists for this session are:

Sunil Bajpai, Chief Trust Officer at Tanla Platforms Limited
Pragya Misra, Director of Public Affairs at Truecaller
Dr Mahesh Uppal, Director at ComFirst (India)
Rishu Mehrotra, Technology Leader at Merkle Science

This discussion will be moderated by Isha Suri, Research Lead at the Centre for Internet and Society.
