Previously DOT and now TRAI push rules and regulations which not only curb innovation but makes existing players in areas like VAS or MVNO " play the game" with one or sometimes both hands tied. This also signals a thinking which still exist in the official establishment (Telecommunication) which gives priority to the "payed operators" in policy matters and curbing new technologies and ideas.

Some random irritated TRAI babu dreamed this up and made a directive out of it. Next time his kid accidentally calls someone up, he'll come up with another directive to give in writing / fax / e-mail tht the calling party seeks explicit permission and consent from the called party for making the said telephone call. Alexander Bell must be rolling in his grave.... This is insanity!! Some random irritated TRAI babu dreamed this up and made a directive out of it.
