Spam calls and messages have increased rapidly over the years. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has taken some measures to curb this problem. Under the new TRAI rules, a penalty will be imposed on telecom companies if failed to stop spam. Large telecom companies like Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel say that these rules will not solve some apprehensions.

Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), organization of private telecom companies (COAI) Said It is, “A detailed perspective is needed to deal with this problem effectively.” Penalty on telecom companies is not a solution. This will not solve the major issue of preventing unwanted commercial communications. If there is a need to apply such a penalty, then it should not be put on telecom companies, but the spam calls and messages should be applied.

Under the new TRAI rules, a penalty will be imposed on telecom companies giving wrong reports of spam calls and messages. Along with this, TRAI has also made it mandatory for all telecom companies to analyze calls and SMS based on high number of calls, short duration of calls and low ratios of outgoing calls from incoming calls. This will allow spammers to be identified soon. The provision of graded penalty has been implemented by amending the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations (TCCCPR). In this, a penalty will have to be paid on the wrong report of spam calls and messages on telecom companies.

Under the new rules, telecom companies will have to pay a penalty of Rs 2 lakh on first violation, Rs five lakh on second violation and Rs 10 lakh on each violation. Coai has reported that communication apps such as WhatsApp and Telegram have not been included in the scope of new rules. The amount of spam has also increased on these apps. Due to this, financial crimes are also increasing rapidly. A new rule called TRAI’s message tradition has also been implemented. This rule will help reduce spam messages. From the person sending messages from the new system to its delivery can be tracked.

Telecom companies have also played an important role in the Mahakumbh held in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Reliance Jio, the country’s largest telecom company, has received about two crore voice and about 40 crore data service requests on Peak Day at Mahakumbh. In view of the arrival of a large number of devotees in Mahakumbh, Reliance Jio and Ericsson applied strategic solutions on the use of features such as network slicing and career aggregation on the True 5G standalone network of Reliance Jio.

Ericsson has reported in a statement that millions of devotees have shared images and videos during the Mahakumbh and have been in touch with their family and friends. The Mahakumbh has been completed through already planned plans, advanced design, and real-time traffic monitoring in Mahakumbh. During the world’s biggest religious event, Reliance Jio has completed about two crore voice and about 40 crore data requests on its 5G network during Peak Day. About 55 percent of the total data traffic in Mahakumbh is handled with the help of Ericsson’s 5G solutions.

Mahakumbh started from 13 January. More than 66 crore people are expected to reach it. Reliance Jio may soon bring an initial public offer (IPO). Billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s company plans to raise around Rs 40,000 crore through listing in the stock market. This can be the largest IPO in the country.

Reliance Jio’s value can cost around $ 120 billion. Recently, a media report stated that along with selling existing shares in this IPO, new shares will also be released. It may also have pre-IPO placements for selected investors. Preparations are being done for this. However, Reliance Industries (RIL) has not confirmed this. If Reliance collects Rs 40,000 crore from the listing in Jio Stock Market, it will surpass the IPO of about Rs 27,870 crore after the Unit of Hyandai in the country. In October last year, Hyandai, who was among the big automobile companies, was listed in the stock market.
