On COAI’s letter about Internet Restrictions
Screenshot of an article from The Economic Times dated 7th December, 2024 with the headline “Limit net shutdowns as they hit critical services: Telcos”
It is interesting that COAI is asking for some form of limitation/restraint on internet shutdowns. Anyone have the actual letter? I don’t want to make assumptions based only on what has been reported.
As Medianama reminds us, COAI’s position in a TRAI Consultation on internet restrictions (selective banning) was that the government should ask apps/services to enforce them, rather than telcos.
