Mobile verification platform to boost telcos revenues

New Delhi: A platform to be set up by the government for any entity such as a bank or financial institution to verify a mobile phone number to check online frauds like phishing could open up a new revenue stream for telecom operators as they will get a fee for every verification request. While the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has not yet finalised the fee, it will be done in the coming months when the platform will be launched, officials told ET.
