Summary Indian govt has asked telecom operators to provide mechanism monitoring of Internet traffic.
This was conveyed to the telecom operators on the pretext that Indian Department of Telecom had found that monitoring equipment of at least two operators – Vodafone and Aircel – did not comply with standards, media reports said.The reports added that the directives had been issued at the behest of Indian secret agencies, which wanted to monitor the Internet traffic in the occupied territory.However, the operators refuted the claim by the Department of Telecom, saying that they complied with the norms. “Before starting our services, the Government (New Delhi) has inspected and certified to start this service,” said one of the operators.A complaint has been submitted to the Indian Home Ministry for action against the operations not willing to install the Internet monitoring system.
