India is missing out on the opportunity to become a data transit hub due to regulations around submarine cable systems<\/a> and cable landing stations<\/a>, a senior executive of Google<\/a> said on Wednesday. 规定合法拦截和监视(LIM)合规被视为主要的威慑印度企业使用作为数据的中转站从西方远东,业内高管表示在一个开放的房子讨论由印度电信管理局(火车)。 印度是错过的机会成为一个交通数据中心由于法规海底电缆系统和电缆着陆站,一位高管谷歌周三表示。
Regulations around lawful interception and monitoring<\/a> (LIM) compliance are seen as major deterrents to companies using India as a transit point for data travelling from the west to the Far East, industry executives said during an open house discussion conducted by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai).
The regulator has given the stakeholders a week’s time to elaborate on these issues, and give suggestions based on global practices.
“India is a very large transit point, and some policy intervention is required to ease transit of data through India, if it is to capitalise on this huge business opportunity,” Anindita Samanta, strategic negotiator at Google, said.
Under the current regulations, companies using the undersea cable network<\/a> in India for data transfer must be LIM compliant<\/a>. This entails getting compliance approvals from several agencies, including legal and judicial entities, and some ministries.
The LIM stipulation allows law enforcement agencies to tap into the data network and listen in when the need arises - for example, in case of a threat to national security. However, to do so, it requires justifiable cause and approvals before listening in on information.
This, however, is important when the information is flowing into India, said industry executives, adding that for data simply transiting through Indian shores, LIM compliance may not be paramount.
The open house discussion was held to debate on matters regarding the licensing framework and regulatory mechanism for submarine cable landing in India based on a consultation paper released by the sector regulator in December last year.
“Countries like Oman have managed to become significant transit hubs due to their policies and ease of doing business,” Mukesh Jain, head of special projects at Lightstorm Telecom, said. He added that charges like access facilitation charge and strict SLA (service licence agreements) add to the regulatory burden for entities wishing to use India as a transit hub.
This, in turn, prevents them from using Indian shores as transit points for their data transport, denying the country a lucrative business opportunity, he said.
Also present at the discussion were representatives from the three private telcos--Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel<\/a> and Vodafone Idea. They stressed the need to designate cable laying and repair under the critical and essential services and that these services have priority for permits-- in-principle and clearances from government agencies.
Setting up a cable landing station for traffic terminating in India also requires multiple permits, said Mahipal Singh, vice president, regulatory affairs, Reliance<\/a> Jio, and urged streamlining of the approval process.
Airtel<\/a> reiterated that an entity wanting to set up a cable landing station for cables terminating in India should have a stake in the consortium that has built that part of the undersea cable network. Both Jio and Vodafone Idea opposed this view.

棘手的规则阻止印度成为数据中转枢纽:谷歌高管
规定在合法的拦截和监视(LIM)合规被视为主要的威慑印度企业使用作为数据的中转站从西方远东,业内高管表示在一个开放的房子讨论由印度电信管理局(火车)。
监管机构给予参与者一个星期的时间来阐述这些问题,并给出基于全球实践的建议。
根据目前的规定,公司使用海底电缆网络数据传输必须在印度LIM兼容。这需要从几个获得合规审批机构,包括法律和司法的实体,和一些部门。
LIM规定允许执法机构利用数据网络和监听,需要的时候——例如,对国家安全的威胁。然而,要做到这一点,它需要合理的原因和批准之前听到的信息。
然而,这是很重要的信息时流入印度,业内高管说,并补充道,数据只是过境印度海岸,LIM合规可能不是最重要的。
举行开放日讨论讨论问题关于海底电缆着陆许可框架和监管机制在印度基于咨询文件发布的行业监管机构去年12月。
“阿曼等国家已经成为重要的交通枢纽由于其政策和缓解做生意的,”穆克什Jain,监制的电信、特殊项目主管说。他补充说,指控访问便利化电荷和严格SLA(服务授权协议)的监管负担增加实体希望将印度作为一个交通枢纽。
反过来,这可以防止它们使用印度海岸过境点的数据传输,否认该国一个有利可图的商业机会,他说。
代表也出席讨论三个私人电信公司——信实JioBharti Airtel和沃达丰的想法。他们强调了需要指定电缆敷设和修复下的关键和基本服务,这些服务允许优先——日前,从政府机构的许可。
设置一个电缆着陆站交通终止在印度还需要多个许可证,Mahipal辛格说,监管事务副总裁依赖Jio,并敦促简化审批流程。
附近的旅馆重申,一个实体想要建立一个有线电视电缆终止着陆站在印度应该入股该财团建立了海底电缆网络的一部分。Jio和沃达丰观点反对这种观点。
