Pesky calls and messages are a menace not only for common people but also for Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal, who said that he too is a victim of the unsolicited communications and has discussed these issues with telecom regulator.
‘Trai is taking it up (pesky calls/SMSes issue). I also face lot of problem. Every two minutes I get such SMS,’ Sibal told reporters at the Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit here.
‘People...used international servers (to send such SMSes), but that also has been stopped. I met Trai Chairman. He will ensure that this is not going to happen anymore,’ he said.
Meanwhile, at another event Trai Chairman Rahul Kullar said responding to a query on pesky calls: ‘You will see something by 5 November.’ The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India recently issued a consultation paper to seek public views to strengthen regulations to check pesky calls and SMSes.
Trai in draft ‘Telecom Commercial Communication Customer Preference (Tenth Amendment) Regulations, 2012’ has proposed disconnection of resources of entities for whom the promotion is being carried out after 10 violations.
