The Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (DoT<\/a>) is of the view that communication apps, or over-the-top (OTT) players, such as WhatsApp<\/a>, Telegram<\/a> and Signal<\/a> should be regulated, keeping in mind the security aspect and need for lawful interception. It will soon start consultations with the ministries of electronics and IT (MeitY) and information and broadcasting, besides seeking views from the telecom regulator.

Senior DoT officials told ET that regulating apps is now necessary, as technology has changed to a point wherein their misuse can be disastrous for the country.

\"Currently, we don't have a mechanism to control or stop something that is creating havoc on social media,\" one of the officials said. \"We have to do a post-mortem, where also not much can be done. We should be able to control and analyse real-time, so misinformation<\/a> or other things can be stopped.\"

He stressed that misinformation travels so fast on apps, it becomes uncontrollable, creating law and order problems. \"If some regulations are put in place, social media would be a much safer place,\" the official said. DoT is discussing the matter internally and will soon reach out to ministries, officials said.

The department also plans to seek views from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (Trai). However, it is yet to decide if it wants to take the issue first to the Digital Communications Commission - highest decision-making body in DoT - or seek the regulator's recommendations directly, officials said.

Wider Implications

While the telecom department can deal with communication apps that are providing services similar to telcos, other social media apps - such as Twitter and Facebook - come under MeitY.

DoT is also evaluating whether to undertake stakeholder consultations on its own, given that any move to regulate such apps will have wider implications.

Most industry associations such as Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), Nasscom<\/a> and US-India Business Council, among others, had opposed any kind of regulatory framework for OTTs when the issue was earlier discussed by Trai. Their view is that apps are already regulated by the IT Act and any further regulation will stifle innovation.

As the market for AI and big data grows rapidly, its usage across sectors is also expanding. The telecom sector, for instance, can leverage AI and big data in areas such as quality of service, spectrum management and network security, the regulator said in the paper titled “Leveraging AI and big data in telecommunications sector”.<\/p><\/div>
