The Esya Centre is pleased to respond to the TRAI's Consultation Paper on Regulating Converged Digital Technologies and Services- Enabling Convergence of Carriage of Broadcasting and Telecommunication Services. We commend TRAI for providing an open platform for stakeholders to share their feedback on this critical issue.
Our response is divided into two parts. Part I presents our brief reactions to the consultation paper, while Part II provides a comprehensive analysis of our response. Our response is structured into five sections, each addressing a specific issue raised in the consultation. In each section, we examine TRAI's observations and propose counterarguments where necessary. Our aim is to engage with TRAI’s recommendations from first principles and bring attention to areas that may benefit from greater conceptual clarity.
