Trai指导电信公司重新验证已注册的模板，以检查烦人的电话和信息
印度电信监管局(Trai)周四表示，已要求电信公司分别在30天和60天内屏蔽所有未经验证的报头和消息模板。
印度电信监管局(火车该公司周四表示，已要求电信运营商分别在30天和60天内屏蔽所有未经验证的邮件头和邮件模板。
Trai在一份声明中表示:“Trai发现，一些电话营销人员滥用了主要实体的标题和消息模板。”
Trai已要求运营商禁止所有未在DLT平台上注册的电话营销人员通过其网络发送消息时删除或更新消息模板。
电信运营商应根据条例的规定对所有此类错误的电话营销人员采取行动，并根据相关法律采取行动。
代表Reliance Jio、Bharti Airtel和Vodafone Idea三家私营电信公司的印度移动运营商协会(COAI)表示，这是防止消费者收到不良通信的积极步骤。
“电信服务提供商已经在这方面与监管机构合作，我们希望能够在这方面提供尽可能多的支持，”COAI总干事SP Kochhar说
提供增值服务的云通信公司Tanla平台的董事长D Uday Reddy表示，在DLT上注册的约500万个模板中，近80%的模板在六个月内处于不活动状态，这为入侵者提供了滥用模板的机会。
他说:“模板中的可变元素也被滥用，在短信中插入不适当的内容。”Reddy表示:“遵守Trai的指示肯定会带来迫切需要的纪律，并帮助企业管理其DLT资产。”
Trai还要求运营商确保在创建临时头之后立即停用临时头。
操作人员必须确保消息模板中的内容变量不能灵活地插入不需要的内容。为了消除消息接收者之间的混淆并防止它们被滥用，他们不能注册任何相似的头信息。
然而，尽管有这些举措，人们还是不断收到来自未注册电话推销员的垃圾邮件或促销信息。
根据社区社交媒体平台Local Circles最近的一项调查，66%的手机用户有三个或更多垃圾邮件电话平均每天。该公司表示，78%的烦人电话来自金融服务和房地产行业。
根据2018年《电信商业通信客户偏好条例》(TCCCPR)， Trai的最新指示旨在遏制未经授权的利用电信资源的促销活动。
服务质量规范需要升级:DoT
“这些规范已经过时，需要升级。但技术方面必须由铁道部来决定。我们只能提供政策支持改善服务。”一位交通部高级官员告诉《印度经济时报》。

<\/figure>New Delhi: To curb the menace of phone users getting promotional messages from unregistered marketers, the telecom regulator has directed all mobile operators to reverify registered headers and message templates of telemarketers<\/a> on the distributed ledger technologies (DLT) platform to ensure they are not misused.Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai<\/a>) on Thursday said it has told telcos to block all unverified headers and message templates within 30 and 60 days, respectively.
\u201cTrai has observed that headers and message templates of principal entities are being misused by some telemarketers,\u201d it said in a statement.
<\/div><\/div>To stop phone users getting promotional messages from normal 10-digit mobile numbers, the regulator had in 2021 come out with a blockchain-based DLT platform<\/a> for enterprises and telemarketers and told telcos to enable transmission of promotional messages only through this channel after proper KYC process. Enterprises and telemarketers need to obtain a header and register message templates, and they can send messages only in conformance with these.
Trai has asked operators to bar all telemarketers not registered on DLT platform from scrubbing or updating message template to deliver messages through their network.
Telcos should act against all such erring telemarketers as per the provisions of the regulations and also initiate actions as per relevant legal laws, it said.
Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) \u2013 which represents all three private telcos, namely, Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea \u2013 said it is a positive step to prevent consumers receiving undesired communications.
\u201cThe telecom service providers are already working on this aspect with the regulator, and we hope to be able to provide as much support as possible to help in this regard,\u201d COAI director general SP Kochhar said

<\/div><\/div>Experts said clean-up of inactive and unverified headers is overdue as they have been burdening the DLT architecture and allowed misuse by fraudsters.
Out of approximately 5 million templates registered on the DLT, nearly 80% are inactive for a period of six months, providing an opportunity for infiltrators to misuse the templates, said D Uday Reddy, chairman of Tanla Platforms, a cloud communications firm providing value-added services.
\u201cVariable elements in templates are also being abused to insert inappropriate content in the text messages,\u201d he said. \u201cAdherence to Trai\u2019s directives shall certainly bring the much-required discipline and help enterprises in managing their DLT assets,\u201d Reddy said.
Trai has also asked the operators to ensure that temporary headers are deactivated immediately after the time duration for which such headers were created.
The operators have to ensure that content variables in message templates do not have flexibility to insert undesired contents. To remove confusions among recipients of messages and prevent their misuse, no look-alike headers are to be registered by them.
However, despite all these initiatives, people have been getting spam or promotional messages from unregistered telemarketers.
As per a recent survey by community social media platform Local Circles, 66% of mobile subscribers get three or more spam calls<\/a> on an average on each day. It said 78% of the pesky phone calls come from the financial services and real estate sector.
Trai\u2019s latest directions seek to curb unauthorised promotions using telecom resources under Telecom Commercial Communication Customer Preference Regulations (TCCCPR) 2018.
