Telecom gear manufacturers are pushing to delay the mandatory security testing deadline for WiFi CPE and IP routers, requesting a two-year extension and voluntary certification. They cited high costs and limited accredited labs. The Department of Telecommunications had previously extended the application start date to January 1, 2024, and then to July 1, 2024, with further extensions for certified models.
These schemes (PLI for components and wearables) will help in developing manufacturing competency and encourage domestic champions in segments such as components and sub-assemblies to enable exports, large scale capacity for production, attract opportunities for new investments and provide an impetus to domestic value addition," MAIT said.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has recommended changes to the annual licence fee calculation for FM radio channels. Currently, the fee is based on a percentage of annual gross revenue or a spectrum charge, whichever is higher. TRAI suggested that the fee should be calculated at 4% of gross revenue, excluding GST. The authority also proposed allowing private radio channels to broadcast news for 10 minutes per hour.
