Question 1: Is it too early to establish a regulatory framework for OTT services, since internet penetration is still evolving, access speeds are generally low and there is limited coverage of high-speed broadband in the country? Or, should some beginning be made now with a regulatory framework that could be adapted to changes in the future? Please comment with justifications.

Yes, it is too early to establish a regulatory framework for OTT services, since internet penetration is still evolving, access speeds are generally low and there is limited coverage of high-speed broadband in the country. whereas in other countries where the internet connectivity has evolved, and is in advanced, still they don't have any OTT to charge extra.

Question 2: Should the OTT players offering communication services (voice, messaging and video call services) through applications (resident either in the country or outside) be brought under the licensing regime? Please comment with justifications.

No, they should not be brought under licensing, as they are already licensed for developing applications and to host it on various internet platforms like android or windows.

Question 3: Is the growth of OTT impacting the traditional revenue stream of TSPs? If so, is the increase in data revenues of the TSPs sufficient to compensate for this impact? Please comment with reasons.

No, growth of OTT is not at all impacting the revenue of Internet service providers as usage of their services means more usage of data services and it means more revenue for internet service providers.

Question 4: Should the OTT players pay for use of the TSPs network over and above data charges paid by consumers? If yes, what pricing options can be adopted? Could such options include prices based on bandwidth consumption? Can prices be used as a means product/service differentiation? Please comment with justifications.

Doesn't matter as far as it doesn't impact the end users. they shouldn't be charged, if they get charged, they will charge user also, but user is already paying for the data services, it will be double penalty.

Question 5: Do you agree that imbalances exist in the regulatory environment in the operation of OTT players? If so, what should be the framework to address these issues? How can the prevailing laws and regulations be applied to OTT players (who operate in the virtual world) and compliance enforced? What could be the impact on the economy? Please comment with justifications.

I dont believe that there should nt be any regulatory authority as it will restrict the creativity and freedom of the users, they will not be financially weak user or developers will not be able to create new things and monopoly will prevail. If these services weren't be non-regulated, OTT might not be that successful as they are now.

Question 6: How should the security concerns be addressed with regard to OTT players providing communication services? What security conditions such as maintaining data records, logs etc. need to be mandated for such OTT players? And, how can compliance with these conditions be ensured if the applications of such OTT players reside outside the country? Please comment with justifications.

There should be certain regulations for the security of intellectual property of the users. even if the applications of such OTT players reside outside the country, they should be compliance with the regulations if they are running their services in the country.
