好吧，你很快就可以通过确认或拒绝给你发短信来决定谁可以给你发短信同意．你甚至可以告诉品牌商，你在一天中的哪一天和什么时间会收到促销信息。挑战在于，你需要为40多万家将你作为潜在客户的企业单独做这件事。
“同意”是基于区块链的机制的第三部分，电信运营商正在实施该机制，以检查烦人的欺诈短信印度电信监管局（火车）.
然而，第三个，也许是最关键的因素，获取用户的同意，被认为是最具挑战性和耗时的，考虑到这项任务的庞大规模——大约40万家公司每天从15.25万个不同的标题发送10亿条交易和促销短信。
没有时间表
“10亿客户向40万家主体实体提交同意书，形成了一个包含100亿份同意书的庞大数据库，这些同意书主要来自电商巨头和银行，”阿里巴巴董事长乌代•雷迪(Uday Reddy)表示Tanla平台，将区块链服务提供商设置为Bharti Airtel沃达丰Idea、BSNL和MTNL．
“DLT的上传能力为100tps(每秒交易数)，这意味着上传100亿份协议需要3年时间。当然，实施不能拖延这么久，因此，包括Tanla在内的运营商联盟，IBM而且科技马辛德拉他说:“我们正紧密合作，争取在最短时间内克服挑战。”
IBM和Tech Mahindra是Reliance Jio项目的合作伙伴。他们没有回复ET寻求置评的请求。
数字鸿沟
Swiggy等大型企业，亚马逊例如，印度国家银行(State Bank of India)和耐克(Nike)可以通过它们的应用程序或店内购买和计费等方式轻松获得客户的同意。但印度有近6300万小企业，他们使用或可能希望使用廉价和个性化的短信途径来满足他们的营销需求。
一位不愿透露姓名的市场分析师表示:“一家每月发送1万多条信息的城市餐饮公司，没有任何像应用程序那样的数字存在，坐在办公室里也无法获得同意。”“为了避免麻烦，他可能会转向更昂贵的通信路线，比如WhatsApp Business。”
根据规定，消费者也可以通过拨打USSD字符串*#1909*提交同意，但该系列有近100个独特的迭代，必须单独按下。
行业高管们表示，新系统旨在减少利用短信进行的金融欺诈。一位高管表示:“但不幸的是，他们通过基于sim卡的路线继续有增无减，这种路线没有任何检查。”基于sim卡的路由指的是带有电话号码的个人邮件，而不是带有正式邮件头的邮件。
此外，专家们表示，银行家们担心，创建客户数据库并与包括电信运营商和服务提供商在内的第三方共享，可能会侵犯基本隐私权。
Bharti Airtel、Vodafone Idea和BSNL没有回复本报的询问。
专家表示，前两个阶段严格的合规规范可能会对商业短信渠道的增长产生反效果。
“很多品牌正在评估其他推广途径，比如电子邮件和WhatsApp，不是因为他们不想遵守短信规范，而是因为他们意识到同意管理是一条充满多重挑战的漫长道路。电话营销公司Kaleyra的首席收入官Aniketh Jain说:“他们希望避免受到行业监管机构的嘲笑。”

<\/figure>New Delhi: Do you want to keep a check on Friday offers in your nearby Domino\u2019s outlet but get rid of annoying property deals that spam you by SMS?Well, you will soon have a choice to decide who can send you an SMS by confirming or denying your consent<\/a>. You can even tell the brand which day and what time of the day you are comfortable with receiving a promotional message. The challenge is that you would need to do it individually for more than 400,000 enterprises that are targeting you as a potential customer.
\u2018Consent\u2019 is the third part of the blockchain-based mechanism that telecom operators are putting in place to check pesky, fraud SMSes, as directed by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (Trai<\/a>).
<\/div><\/div>Operators have implemented the first two elements of the world\u2019s largest blockchain-based solution \u2014 distributed ledger technology (DLT) \u2014 to monitor SMS traffic for about one billion mobile phone users in India. It involved filtering of messages sent by registered companies based on their pre-registered header (for instance, VM-HDFCBK) and content.
<\/figure>
However, the third, and perhaps most critical element, taking user consent, is seen to be the most challenging and time taking, given the sheer size of the undertaking \u2014 about 400,000 companies sending a billion transactional and promotional SMSes per day from 15,25,000 different headers.
No Time Frame Given<\/strong>
\u201cThe permutations of one billion customers submitting consent to 400,000 principal entities has created a massive database of 10 billion consents coming mainly from ecommerce giants and banks,\u201d said Uday Reddy, chairman of Tanla Platforms<\/a>, the blockchain service provider to Bharti Airtel<\/a>, Vodafone Idea, BSNL and MTNL<\/a>.

\u201cThe permutations of one billion customers submitting consent to 400,000 principal entities has created a massive database of 10 billion consents coming mainly from ecommerce giants and banks,\u201d said Uday Reddy, chairman of Tanla Platforms<\/a>, the blockchain service provider to Bharti Airtel<\/a>, Vodafone Idea, BSNL and MTNL<\/a>.

\u201cThe DLT has an upload capacity of 100 tps (transactions per second), meaning it will take three years to upload 10 billion consents on it. Of course, implementation cannot be delayed for so long and so, the consortium of operators, including Tanla, IBM<\/a> and Tech Mahindra<\/a>, is working closely to overcome the challenge in the shortest possible time,\u201d he said.
<\/div><\/div>Trai, however, has not specified a time frame yet for operators to implement the third phase.
IBM and Tech Mahindra are partners to Reliance Jio in the project. They did not reply to ET\u2019s queries seeking comment.
Digital Divide<\/strong>
Large enterprises such as Swiggy, Amazon<\/a>, State Bank of India and Nike can easily gather customer consent via their apps or in-store purchases and billing, among others. But India has nearly 63 million small businesses, which use or may want to use the inexpensive and personalised SMS route for their marketing needs.
\u201cA city-based catering company that sends some 10,000 messages per month does not have any digital presence like an app, and cannot gather consent by sitting in an office,\u201d said a market analyst, requesting anonymity. \u201cTo dodge the hassle, he might shift to a pricier communication route like WhatsApp Business.\u201d
As per the regulation, consumers can also submit consent by dialling the USSD string *#1909*, but the series has nearly 100 unique iterations which must be pressed individually.
Industry<\/a> executives said the new system was aimed at mitigating financial frauds using SMSes. \u201cBut unfortunately, they have continued unabated via the SIM-based route, which has no checks,\u201d said an executive. SIM-based route refers to personal messages that come with a phone number instead of official headers.
Moreover, bankers fear that creating a database of customers and sharing it with third parties, including telcos and service providers, may violate the fundamental right to privacy, said experts.
Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and BSNL did not reply to ET's queries.
Already, the rigid compliance norms of the first two phases could prove to be counterproductive to the growth of the commercial SMS channel, said experts.
\u201cA lot of brands are evaluating other routes of promotion, such as email and WhatsApp, not because they don\u2019t want to comply with SMS norms, but because they realise the consent management is a long road ahead with multiple challenges. They want to avoid the scorn of industry regulators,\u201d said Aniketh Jain, chief revenue officer of telemarketing firm Kaleyra.

<\/a><\/div>TRAI writes to key ministries, associations, NIC, others on new norms for bulk SMS<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/a><\/div>No further relaxation in new bulk SMS norms: Trai<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
\u201cThe DLT has an upload capacity of 100 tps (transactions per second), meaning it will take three years to upload 10 billion consents on it. Of course, implementation cannot be delayed for so long and so, the consortium of operators, including Tanla, IBM<\/a> and Tech Mahindra<\/a>, is working closely to overcome the challenge in the shortest possible time,\u201d he said.
<\/div><\/div>Trai, however, has not specified a time frame yet for operators to implement the third phase.
IBM and Tech Mahindra are partners to Reliance Jio in the project. They did not reply to ET\u2019s queries seeking comment.
Digital Divide<\/strong>
Large enterprises such as Swiggy, Amazon<\/a>, State Bank of India and Nike can easily gather customer consent via their apps or in-store purchases and billing, among others. But India has nearly 63 million small businesses, which use or may want to use the inexpensive and personalised SMS route for their marketing needs.
\u201cA city-based catering company that sends some 10,000 messages per month does not have any digital presence like an app, and cannot gather consent by sitting in an office,\u201d said a market analyst, requesting anonymity. \u201cTo dodge the hassle, he might shift to a pricier communication route like WhatsApp Business.\u201d
As per the regulation, consumers can also submit consent by dialling the USSD string *#1909*, but the series has nearly 100 unique iterations which must be pressed individually.
Industry<\/a> executives said the new system was aimed at mitigating financial frauds using SMSes. \u201cBut unfortunately, they have continued unabated via the SIM-based route, which has no checks,\u201d said an executive. SIM-based route refers to personal messages that come with a phone number instead of official headers.
Moreover, bankers fear that creating a database of customers and sharing it with third parties, including telcos and service providers, may violate the fundamental right to privacy, said experts.
Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and BSNL did not reply to ET's queries.
Already, the rigid compliance norms of the first two phases could prove to be counterproductive to the growth of the commercial SMS channel, said experts.
\u201cA lot of brands are evaluating other routes of promotion, such as email and WhatsApp, not because they don\u2019t want to comply with SMS norms, but because they realise the consent management is a long road ahead with multiple challenges. They want to avoid the scorn of industry regulators,\u201d said Aniketh Jain, chief revenue officer of telemarketing firm Kaleyra.

<\/a><\/div>No further relaxation in new bulk SMS norms: Trai<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
\u201cThe DLT has an upload capacity of 100 tps (transactions per second), meaning it will take three years to upload 10 billion consents on it. Of course, implementation cannot be delayed for so long and so, the consortium of operators, including Tanla, IBM<\/a> and Tech Mahindra<\/a>, is working closely to overcome the challenge in the shortest possible time,\u201d he said.
<\/div><\/div>Trai, however, has not specified a time frame yet for operators to implement the third phase.
IBM and Tech Mahindra are partners to Reliance Jio in the project. They did not reply to ET\u2019s queries seeking comment.
Digital Divide<\/strong>
Large enterprises such as Swiggy, Amazon<\/a>, State Bank of India and Nike can easily gather customer consent via their apps or in-store purchases and billing, among others. But India has nearly 63 million small businesses, which use or may want to use the inexpensive and personalised SMS route for their marketing needs.
\u201cA city-based catering company that sends some 10,000 messages per month does not have any digital presence like an app, and cannot gather consent by sitting in an office,\u201d said a market analyst, requesting anonymity. \u201cTo dodge the hassle, he might shift to a pricier communication route like WhatsApp Business.\u201d
As per the regulation, consumers can also submit consent by dialling the USSD string *#1909*, but the series has nearly 100 unique iterations which must be pressed individually.
Industry<\/a> executives said the new system was aimed at mitigating financial frauds using SMSes. \u201cBut unfortunately, they have continued unabated via the SIM-based route, which has no checks,\u201d said an executive. SIM-based route refers to personal messages that come with a phone number instead of official headers.
Moreover, bankers fear that creating a database of customers and sharing it with third parties, including telcos and service providers, may violate the fundamental right to privacy, said experts.
Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and BSNL did not reply to ET's queries.
Already, the rigid compliance norms of the first two phases could prove to be counterproductive to the growth of the commercial SMS channel, said experts.
\u201cA lot of brands are evaluating other routes of promotion, such as email and WhatsApp, not because they don\u2019t want to comply with SMS norms, but because they realise the consent management is a long road ahead with multiple challenges.

<\/div><\/div>Trai, however, has not specified a time frame yet for operators to implement the third phase.
IBM and Tech Mahindra are partners to Reliance Jio in the project. They did not reply to ET\u2019s queries seeking comment.
Digital Divide<\/strong>
Large enterprises such as Swiggy, Amazon<\/a>, State Bank of India and Nike can easily gather customer consent via their apps or in-store purchases and billing, among others. But India has nearly 63 million small businesses, which use or may want to use the inexpensive and personalised SMS route for their marketing needs.
\u201cA city-based catering company that sends some 10,000 messages per month does not have any digital presence like an app, and cannot gather consent by sitting in an office,\u201d said a market analyst, requesting anonymity. \u201cTo dodge the hassle, he might shift to a pricier communication route like WhatsApp Business.\u201d
As per the regulation, consumers can also submit consent by dialling the USSD string *#1909*, but the series has nearly 100 unique iterations which must be pressed individually.
Industry<\/a> executives said the new system was aimed at mitigating financial frauds using SMSes. \u201cBut unfortunately, they have continued unabated via the SIM-based route, which has no checks,\u201d said an executive. SIM-based route refers to personal messages that come with a phone number instead of official headers.
Moreover, bankers fear that creating a database of customers and sharing it with third parties, including telcos and service providers, may violate the fundamental right to privacy, said experts.
Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and BSNL did not reply to ET's queries.
Already, the rigid compliance norms of the first two phases could prove to be counterproductive to the growth of the commercial SMS channel, said experts.
\u201cA lot of brands are evaluating other routes of promotion, such as email and WhatsApp, not because they don\u2019t want to comply with SMS norms, but because they realise the consent management is a long road ahead with multiple challenges. They want to avoid the scorn of industry regulators,\u201d said Aniketh Jain, chief revenue officer of telemarketing firm Kaleyra.
