火车讨论是否把广播、通信分别奥特
这位官员说如果是决定广播奥特分别需要解决,在这个问题上的咨询文件将在一月,这将只讨论像Amazon和Netflix应用。之后,火车将调查沟通奥特Whatsapp, Facetime和信号显示一个监管机制。
火车的一位高级官员告诉等监管机构将在11月25日有一个内部会议之后,最后一个电话将在这个问题上。
这位官员说如果是决定广播奥特分别需要解决,在这个问题上的咨询文件将在一月,这将只讨论应用程序亚马逊和Netflix。之后,火车将调查沟通奥特Whatsapp, Facetime和信号显示一个监管机制。
监管机构认为,问题是广泛而复杂的和适当的磋商之前应该发生任何形式的监管机制建议。
单独的想法对待广播和通信奥特也源自于这样一个事实:两类奥特的球员域的两个不同的政府部门。而通信奥特球员如WhatsApp和信号属于电信部的范围(点),信息产业部和广播(MIB)看起来内容包括Netflix等应用程序后,亚马逊,迪斯尼Hotstar等等。
即使在点的部际协商调节应用,MIB站开了,广播应用程序在其权限范围内来。MIB认为内容和在线新闻受到它的域和没有其他部门应参与调节。乐动扑克
点还想调节而不是只有通信的应用或广播的内容。电信部长Ashwini Vaishnaw已明确表示,调节通信奥特的基本目的是保护消费者免受欺诈,这是一个强制性的原因了解你的客户什么机制草案中提出了电信法案。
点觉得应该有一个机制,通过这个机制,它应该能够控制和分析实时的传播错误信息等应用可以停止了。
咨询文件奥特框架下个月来
电信部门寻求印度电信管理局的建议(火车)建立一个法律框架的言过其实的(OTT)应用程序提供调用和消息传递服务。
调节奥特球员是一个有争议的问题,大多数互联网活动家和协会代表这些应用程序提供商如IAMAI、行业协会和印业务委员会反对任何形式的监管框架。科技行业已经强调了应用的监管行为,任何进一步的监管将扼杀创新。
但点官员觉得调节这些应用程序现在是必要的科技改变了,滥用他们可能是灾难性的。
电信运营商长期以来一直要求通信的应用程序应该监管他们提供相同的组通信服务。他们指出,虽然电信公司是受到各种许可和监管规定,通信应用程序不受任何这样的事。

A senior Trai official told ET the regulator will have an internal meeting on November 25 after which a final call will be taken on the issue.
The official said if it was decided that broadcasting OTTs need to be addressed separately, a consultation paper on the issue will be out in January, which will only discuss apps like Amazon<\/a> and Netflix. After that, the Trai will investigate communication OTTs like Whatsapp, Facetime and Signal to suggest a regulatory mechanism.
<\/div><\/div>In case Trai feels that both broadcasting and communication OTTs can be discussed together, the consultation paper will list out questions accordingly, the official added.
The regulator feels that the issue is wide and complex and proper consultation should happen before any kind of regulatory mechanism is recommended.
The idea about treating broadcasting and communication OTTs separately also arises from the fact that the two categories of OTT players<\/a> fall in the domain of two separate government departments. While communication OTT players such as WhatsApp and Signal fall under the ambit of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), ministry of information and broadcasting (MIB) looks after content including apps such as Netflix, Amazon, Disney Hotstar<\/a>, among others.
Even during the DoT\u2019s inter-ministerial consultation on regulating apps, the MIB had made its stand clear that broadcasting apps come under its purview. MIB believes that content and online news come under its domain and no other department should be involved in regulating them.
The DoT also wants to regulate only communication apps and not the content or broadcasting ones. Telecom minister Ashwini Vaishnaw<\/a> has made it clear that the basic purpose of regulating communication OTTs is to guard the consumers against frauds and that is the reason why a mandatory know-your-customer (KYC) mechanism has been proposed in the draft telecom bill.

<\/div><\/div>In its reference to Trai seeking to bring OTTs under regulation, the DoT said a mechanism should be evolved wherein it has powers to selectively ban apps to check spread of misinformation. \u201cThe need to regulate OTT apps is urgent so as to ensure data security and protection of consumer privacy,\u201d ET had reported earlier, quoting a DoT official.
The DoT feels that there should be a mechanism through which it should be able to control and analyse real-time, so that the spread of misinformation on such apps can be stopped.
