'No Regulations For OTT Apps'- TRAI Addresses to Telecom Companies

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) stated that Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms including Google, Facebook, and Whatsapp, currently do not need a regulatory body. The statement was made after telecom companies complained OTT platforms of offering Voice and Text over data which affects their income. “Without a resolution of these issues telecom companies will continue to be at a disadvantageous position," said the Cellular Operators Association director general S P Kochhar.
