New Delhi | Bengaluru: Big Tech companies<\/a> and policy groupings<\/a>, concerned over India's stand on not renewing a World Trade Organisation<\/a> (WTO<\/a>) moratorium on electronic transmissions<\/a>, are pushing to extend it by a further two years Discussions on the moratorium have begun from June 12.

In the absence of a uniform way to assess the value of
free email services<\/a> such as those provided by Google<\/a> or video calls over Zoom<\/a> or content over OTT platforms, countries may interpret the rules differently, leading to chaos, experts said. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry<\/a> has said that India, along with South Africa, had made several joint submissions highlighting the “adverse impact” of extending the moratorium.

“India and South Africa have been making several joint submissions highlighting the adverse impact of the moratorium on developing countries and suggesting that a reconsideration of the moratorium is important for developing countries to preserve policy space for their digital advancement, to regulate imports and to generate revenue through customs duties,” the ministry said on Saturday.

Executives at Big Tech firms told ET that not extending the moratorium could be extremely problematic as there is no way to properly assess what constitutes electronic transmission — with no clear definition available. It could also adversely impact the country's fledging outsourcing industry, they said.

“The key issue, when it is a trade policy question, is what type of transfer of information is captured? Does it go beyond streaming services into e-mail, transfer of data between companies and include voicemail and phone communication in general? That question is wide open,” Simon Evenett, professor of international trade and economic development at the University of St. Gallen, told ET.

A senior executive at a Big Tech firm said that though there have been attempts to define electronic transmissions, the discussions have not been fruitful so far. “To not renew the moratorium because there is no definition of electronic transmissions is a short-sighted move. We are not asking for this moratorium to be made permanent but only asking for an extension of two years when the next ministerial conference occurs,” the executive said.

Another senior executive at a social media conglomerate said lifting of the moratorium could mean countries would interpret electronic transmissions differently, which would in turn lead to “a mess of understanding of who owns what intellectual property and whose rights are applicable where.”

“Different countries have different rules and regulations on how the copyright claims function. They also have different rules on how intellectual property rights are enforced internally. It will be very difficult to enforce the application of customs duty on a global level,” the executive said.<\/p><\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":92169271,"title":"Tata companies well-capitalised, focus on future growth business: N Chandrasekaran","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/tata-companies-well-capitalised-focus-on-future-growth-business-n-chandrasekaran\/92169271","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[{"msid":"92166303","title":"WTO","entity_type":"IMAGES","seopath":"tech\/technology\/firms-jittery-over-indias-e-transmission-moratorium-stand\/wto","category_name":"Firms jittery over India\u2019s e-transmission moratorium stand","synopsis":false,"thumb":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/thumb\/img-size-56132\/92166303.cms?width=150&height=112","link":"\/image\/tech\/technology\/firms-jittery-over-indias-e-transmission-moratorium-stand\/wto\/92166303"}],"msid":92169306,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Firms jittery over India\u2019s e-transmission moratorium stand","synopsis":"In the absence of a uniform way to assess the value of free email services such as those provided by Google or video calls over Zoom or content over OTT platforms, countries may interpret the rules differently, leading to chaos, experts said.

新德里|班加罗尔:大型科技公司政策组关注印度站在不更新世界贸易组织(wto)(世贸组织)暂停电子传输,正在进一步扩展它的两年讨论暂停从6月12日已经开始。

“印度和南非已经让几个联合提交高亮显示暂停发展中国家的不利影响,建议复议的禁令是重要的发展中国家保护政策空间的数字化发展,规范进口,通过关税产生收入,”外交部周六表示。

大型科技公司的高管告诉ET,不延长禁令可能会非常有问题没有办法正确评估什么是电子传输,没有明确的定义。它也可能产生不利影响的羽翼未丰的外包行业,他们说。

“关键的问题,当它是一个贸易政策的问题,是什么类型的传输信息的捕获?它超越流媒体服务在电子邮件、公司之间的数据传输,包括语音邮件和电话沟通?这个问题是敞开的,”教授西蒙•伊文奈特(Simon Evenett)国际贸易和经济发展大学的圣加伦,告诉等。

大型科技公司的高管表示,尽管有人试图定义电子传输,到目前为止没有卓有成效的讨论。“不续约的禁令,因为没有定义电子传输是一个目光短浅的举动。我们不要求这个禁令是永久性的,但只要求延长两年当下一次部长级会议发生,”这位高管表示。

另一个社交媒体集团的高管表示,取消禁令可能意味着国家将解释电子传输不同,进而导致“一团糟的理解谁拥有知识产权和权利是适用的。”

“不同的国家有不同的规则和条例的版权声明函数。他们也有不同的规则对知识产权的内部执行。这将是非常困难的执行关税在全球的应用水平,”这位高管表示。
