Time and again we ignore the various consultation papers put up by various regulators to put forward a technology/size/timeline neutral view and then we gets blindsided when regulation favors either early entrants/technology patent owners or large entrenched players with significant market power who then oppose disruption which affects their businesses by making regulators dance to their tunes ( OTT-a de-humanizing name for useful apps- vs Telecom providers ) http://trai.gov.in/WriteReaddata/ConsultationPaper/Document/CP-VNO-5.12.2014.pdf Here is my test for this policy review document. Can a startup become an MVNO and uses a cheaper newer energy efficient subcriber management system which say uses Aadhar API or Facebook/Google authentication as fallback and use a completely flat billing model to compete against the kind of disruption whatsapp/skype can bring while riding on top of data network belonging to an MNO in India and abroad based on output recommendations from this consultation paper ? Can we suggest other outlandish tests like these and then point out the shortsightedness of the regulator in disallowing ideas such as these before they are born ?
