Telecommunications Law in India is currently governed by the Telegraph Act, Wireless Telegraphy Act and various licenses issued by Department of Telecommunications. Recently, the Government released the Draft Indian Telecommunication Bill, 2022 which proposed a renewed and future-ready framework governing the sector and provision of telecommunications services. This article discusses the expanded definition of telecom services, easing of certain controls around mergers, acquisitions and insolvency of licensees, provision of legal recognition to right-of-way for telecom infrastructure and retention of core features around exclusive privilege and licensing regime. It also discusses key changes, retentions and powers in the context of interception, monitoring, unsolicited communications and interactions between Government agencies as sectoral regulators.
