Am I Fu**ing insane asking to penalize the DoT / TRAI ? Well, you’ve read that right. The TRAI in its recommendation has proposed to fine the Telco carrying the unsolicited call. Telcos have no role to play as they are merely completing the call. [It is hard to believe that Telcos are selling consumer data as alleged by some. Get ready for bigger privacy problems if shortsighted people in TRAI authorize Location Based Services.] Even Tele-marketers are willing to comply by the National Do Not Call Registry.
In our analysis we have found that the TRAI / DoT and NIC are the culprits of designing and implementing a flaky and an unstable system leaving most telemarketers frustrated. I have more than a dozen complaints in my Inbox on NDNC Registry’s scrubbing module not working, Authentication problems, etc. [Well these are the Telemarketers who have registered and paid the required fees, yet unable to conduct business]
This is the sad state of Indian democracy where you can’t go against the Government bodies and they continue to make big mistakes again and again.
