OTT玩家必须纳税，使印度加强国家安全:Jio, Airtel, Vi
科赫哈尔说:“我们无意限制创新，但他们提出了一个虚假的论点，就像用户识别一样，创新只会得到加强，知识产权可能会得到保护。”
“必须对OTT通信服务征税。他们应该承担一些负担，比如许可费，因为尽管他们从印度用户和网络那里赚钱，但他们的收入都流向了国外。”印度移动电话运营商协会(COAI)告诉etel乐动娱乐招聘ecom。
科赫哈尔补充说，这些平台通过使用人工智能提供定向广告来赚钱，并将用户数据保存在其位于美国的服务器上，并以多种方式进行营销。
总部位于德里的COAI代表了印度电信运营商依赖Jio，Bharti Airtel而且沃达丰的想法．
他说，除了相同的服务相同的规则原则外，还应该在国家安全的背景下看待OTT领域，并补充说，如果他们(应用程序)遵守KYC(了解你的客户)，就可以预防jamtara类型的网络欺诈，就像已经遵守KYC的电信服务提供商一样。
印度贾坎德邦的Jamtara市因是网络诈骗犯的聚集地而名声不佳。
科赫哈尔说:“我们无意限制创新，但他们提出了一个虚假的论点，就像用户识别一样，创新只会得到加强，知识产权可能会得到保护。”
OTT玩家表示，监管可能会扼杀企业创新。
电信运营商集团表示，如果OTT玩家支付许可费，运营商缴纳的普遍服务义务基金(USOF)税可能会减轻，通过这种方式，他们(OTT公司)将能够为网络部署和扩张做出贡献。
然而，COAI将对印度草案提交一份全面的回应电信法案——2022年11月10日。
这项新法律可能于明年年中生效，旨在取代1885年的《印度电报法》、1933年的《印度无线电报法》和1950年的《电报电线(非法占有)法》。
政府坚持认为，它希望为OTT玩家引入宽松的监管制度，以防止猖獗的网络欺诈。
此举遭到了NASSCOM、IAMAI、印度ITU-APT基金会和互联网自由基金会(IFF)等游说团体的反对。
此外，Kochhar补充说，OTT玩家唯一担心的是，印度将他们纳入监管范围的举动可能会被其他发达国家和发展中国家复制。
ITU-APT寻求在新的电信法中排除OTT玩家，免除农村电话费用
IAFI主席Bharat Bhatia告诉etelecom:“根据该法案第3条的规定，包括信息服务在内的OTT通信服务应该被排除在即将出台的电信法的范围之外。”乐动娱乐招聘
该电信机构还认为，整个电信服务都依赖于应用层，即使消费者为数据包付费，OTT公司对政府的贡献仍然为零。
早在2018年，印度电信监管局(Trai)也发布了一份咨询文件，寻求为移动应用程序或OTT播放器制定监管框架。
他说:“部长提出一项电信法案草案，迈出了前所未有的大胆一步。”他补充说，自从这些政策对各州几乎没有约束力以来，电信公司一直在要求它(一项法律)。
Kochhar补充说，在新草案中，路权(RoW)问题得到了解决，这是联邦结构中的迫切需求，并有助于扩大电信基础设施，包括光纤化。
这家总部位于德里的组织表示，由于草案承认电信是一项基本服务，预计该法律还将带来营商便利。
在收到利益相关者的意见后，中心可能会提出最终草案，并在适当程序后，将其提交议会进行讨论。

\"OTT communication services must be taxed. They should bear some burden like licensing fee as despite earning from Indian users and networks, their revenue is going outside the country,\" SP Kochhar, director-general, Cellular Operators Association of India<\/a> (COAI) told ETTelecom.
Kochhar added that such platforms earn money by offering directed advertisements using artificial intelligence, and keep user data at their US-based servers and market it in multiple ways.
<\/div><\/div>\"Telecom service providers pay as much as 38% in taxes and levies as compared to 0% contribution by OTT players,\" he said.
Delhi-based COAI represents Indian telecom carriers -- Reliance Jio<\/a>, Bharti Airtel<\/a> and Vodafone Idea<\/a>.
Besides the same-service-same-rules principle, the OTT landscape should be looked at in a national security context, he said, adding that Jamtara-kind of cyber frauds could be prevented if they (apps) adhere to KYC (know your customers) akin to telecom service providers who already comply.
Jamtara, a city in the Indian state of Jharkhand has earned a dubious distinction for being a hub of cyber fraudsters.
\"We have no aim to curtail innovation, but they come up with a bogus argument as with user identification, innovation will only be strengthened and intellectual property rights (IPR) may be safeguarded,\" Kochhar said.
OTT players say that regulation may stifle entrepreneurial innovation.
The telecom operators group said that if OTT players pay towards license fees, the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF) levy contribution by carriers may be eased, and by this way, they (OTT companies) would be able to contribute towards network deployments and expansion.
COAI, however, would be submitting a comprehensive response to the draft Indian Telecommunication Bill<\/a> - 2022 on November 10.

<\/div><\/div>In September, the Centre unveiled a draft bill that aims to bring in reforms in existing laws that govern the telecom sector, and also seeks to expand the definition of telecom services to include OTT communications<\/a> players, or apps under the legal ambit.
The new law which is likely to come into force by mid of next year aims to replace the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1933, and the Telegraph Wires (Unlawful Possession) Act, 1950.
The government has maintained that it wants to bring in a light-touch regulatory regime for OTT players to prevent rampant cyber frauds.
The move is being opposed by lobby groups such as NASSCOM, IAMAI, ITU-APT Foundation of India, and the Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF).
Further, Kochhar added that the OTT players' only fear is that India's move to bring them into a regulatory fold may be replicated by other developed and developing countries.
