Indian telecom operators are pushing for regulation of over-the-top (OTT) communication apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal, arguing that the current regulatory framework is unfairly skewed. While telcos are subject to strict regulations and fees, OTT platforms operate with minimal oversight, despite offering similar services. This disparity has led to calls for a level playing field, with proposals including bringing OTT apps under telecom regulations and introducing a PAN-India single license for telcos. The debate also touches on net neutrality concerns and the potential impact on consumers and businesses, as any regulatory changes could affect the cost, availability, and innovation of communication services.
