The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has completed all the preparations to implement the Telecommunications Act 2023. The Telecommunications Act 2023 will be implemented from 15 September 2024. This means that this law will be implemented within 100 days of the formation of the new government. Many changes have been made in this rule which are very important.
In the Telecom Act 2023, complete preparations have been made regarding data collection, spectrum allocation etc. According to the ET report, the most important thing about the new rule is related to biometrics. According to the new rule, biometric verification will be mandatory for issuing SIM cards. The advantage of this will be that the users' data will not be misused and they will not get hold of someone else's SIM card.
The new rules have also made it stricter to collect users' data. Apart from this, many changes have also been made regarding spectrum allocation to satellite companies. Satellite companies must have already been told when, where and how the spectrum they get will be used. To provide satellite based internet service in India, spectrum will also have to be purchased from the government. Apart from this, now promotional messages and calls will come from numbers of only two series. A number series has also been allocated for this.
