Tech firms likely to challenge Trai’s international SMS rules

Global companies such as Truecaller, Amazon and Uber are likely to urge the department of telecommunications (DoT) to not expedite approval to recommendations by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on international SMS traffic. The tech firms claim that even if they are global companies, their servers are hosted in India. Therefore, the SMSes are sent from domestic servers and do not have international origin.
