The liberalized telecom Guidelines for Other Service Providers (OSP) released on November 5, 2020 (Nov. 2020 Guidelines), were further simplified, and revised by the Department of Telecommunication’s order released on June 23, 2021 (Jun. 2021 Guidelines). The Nov. 2020 Guidelines sought to overhaul the OSP framework, by removing procedural obligations, reducing compliance burdens, and improving operational flexibility between OSP centres. Although a comprehensive overhaul, some doubts persisted regarding definitions and the extent of permission granted to data interconnectivity between OSP centres. The Jun. 2021 Guidelines clarify these ambiguities.
