Telcos, who had initially slammed the move to collect call records due to concerns over privacy, on Wednesday said they had understood the DoT’s point of view and had cooperated with the department, given that the date shared did not violate privacy of subscribers.
“...this data is anonymous and does not contain names of either the maker or receiver of calls. There is no infringement of privacy of any person. No personal details are collected. There is no tracking of any phone number,” said DoT in a statement on Wednesday.
The department added that it will not access call content, names etc of the subscribers. DoT termed the exercise as \"an innovative way of identifying call drops and addressing the call drop issues. It will be appreciated that in the above exercise, there is no violation of privacy of any subscriber\".
ET broke the story online on Wednesday that the DoT is building an in-house platform backed by big data analytics amid incessant complaints of poor quality and the government confirmed the same.
“To identify in a more scientific and innovative manner, the specific problem areas and routes where call drops occur, Department of Telecommunications has in house developed a software tool to analyze big data and accurately ascertain call drops in any area,” the DoT said in its statement, adding that this was the reason for mass scale call records being sourced.
It said that Big Data analytics techniques can be used to identify calls which get disconnected within 30 seconds.
DoT's statement comes on the back of allegations that CDRs in large scale were against privacy norms and infact, Cellular Operators Association of India<\/a> (COAI), which represents private telcos, had raised the issue with the department as well.

<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMumbai: The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) on Wednesday refuted allegations that call data records (CDRs) sought from carriers was a breach of privacy and amounted to surveillance, saying that the details will used to study poor network quality, call drops and cross connection complaints.
Telcos, who had initially slammed the move to collect call records due to concerns over privacy, on Wednesday said they had understood the DoT’s point of view and had cooperated with the department, given that the date shared did not violate privacy of subscribers.
“...this data is anonymous and does not contain names of either the maker or receiver of calls. There is no infringement of privacy of any person. No personal details are collected. There is no tracking of any phone number,” said DoT in a statement on Wednesday.
The department added that it will not access call content, names etc of the subscribers. DoT termed the exercise as \"an innovative way of identifying call drops and addressing the call drop issues. It will be appreciated that in the above exercise, there is no violation of privacy of any subscriber\".
ET broke the story online on Wednesday that the DoT is building an in-house platform backed by big data analytics amid incessant complaints of poor quality and the government confirmed the same.
“To identify in a more scientific and innovative manner, the specific problem areas and routes where call drops occur, Department of Telecommunications has in house developed a software tool to analyze big data and accurately ascertain call drops in any area,” the DoT said in its statement, adding that this was the reason for mass scale call records being sourced.
It said that Big Data analytics techniques can be used to identify calls which get disconnected within 30 seconds.
DoT's statement comes on the back of allegations that CDRs in large scale were against privacy norms and infact, Cellular Operators Association of India<\/a> (COAI), which represents private telcos, had raised the issue with the department as well.

The telecom department on Wednesday said it is within its rights as the DoT is empowered under Rule 419 of the Indian Telegraph Rules 1951 to access such anonymous data for improving network quality
“... all mobile phone subscribers can be assured that the above exercise is only with the objective of improving network quality. The data collected is anonymised. There is no surveillance of any kind,” said the department .
In its statement on Wednesday, COAI said it was convinced of the DoT's intentions.

<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMumbai: The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) on Wednesday refuted allegations that call data records (CDRs) sought from carriers was a breach of privacy and amounted to surveillance, saying that the details will used to study poor network quality, call drops and cross connection complaints.
Telcos, who had initially slammed the move to collect call records due to concerns over privacy, on Wednesday said they had understood the DoT’s point of view and had cooperated with the department, given that the date shared did not violate privacy of subscribers.
“...this data is anonymous and does not contain names of either the maker or receiver of calls. There is no infringement of privacy of any person. No personal details are collected. There is no tracking of any phone number,” said DoT in a statement on Wednesday.
The department added that it will not access call content, names etc of the subscribers. DoT termed the exercise as \"an innovative way of identifying call drops and addressing the call drop issues. It will be appreciated that in the above exercise, there is no violation of privacy of any subscriber\".
ET broke the story online on Wednesday that the DoT is building an in-house platform backed by big data analytics amid incessant complaints of poor quality and the government confirmed the same.
“To identify in a more scientific and innovative manner, the specific problem areas and routes where call drops occur, Department of Telecommunications has in house developed a software tool to analyze big data and accurately ascertain call drops in any area,” the DoT said in its statement, adding that this was the reason for mass scale call records being sourced.
It said that Big Data analytics techniques can be used to identify calls which get disconnected within 30 seconds.
DoT's statement comes on the back of allegations that CDRs in large scale were against privacy norms and infact, Cellular Operators Association of India<\/a> (COAI), which represents private telcos, had raised the issue with the department as well.

The telecom department on Wednesday said it is within its rights as the DoT is empowered under Rule 419 of the Indian Telegraph Rules 1951 to access such anonymous data for improving network quality
“... all mobile phone subscribers can be assured that the above exercise is only with the objective of improving network quality. The data collected is anonymised. There is no surveillance of any kind,” said the department .
In its statement on Wednesday, COAI said it was convinced of the DoT's intentions.
