Private telecom service providers, TRAI at odds over new spam call/messages rules

NEW DELHI: The private telecom service providers are at odds with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) over its new spam rules, citing that the regulations were issued without addressing all relevant issues.

The TRAI last week introduced new rules under the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations (TCCCPR), 2018, aimed at curbing Unsolicited Commercial Communication (UCC), also known as spam calls and messages.
