Question 1: Is it too early to establish a regulatory framework for Internet/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.

Answer: the whole concept for regulatory framework for it services is ridiculous. The internet should not be treated like a commodity, it's a human right. It's like water, water isn't a commodity, it's a human right.

Question 2: Should the Internet/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.

Answer: absolutely not! It would disrupt the global ecosystem India is a part of man drip families apart.

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

Answer: The growth is exponential and telecom operators continue to provide performance that's pathetic and charge more than developed nations. They are greedy and trying to abuse their positions. Don't give into it!

Question 4: Should the Internet/OTT players pay for use of the Telecom Operators 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 of product/service differentiation? Please comment with justifications.

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

Answer: the only imbalance is the pathetic service quality the telecos are offering and want to charge over and above that. The us has said broadband is 25mbps, Indian telecos promote broadband as 2mbps. If you regulate 2mbps lines the internet in India will die.

Question 6: How should the security concerns be addressed with regard to Internet/OTT players providing communication services?
