Big tech firms like Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon and Cloudflare have strongly opposed the government’s move to bring over-the-top (OTT) players under a regulatory framework similar to telecom operators.
Articulating their opposition to the draft Telecom Bill for the first time, these players have cautioned the government that such measures are likely to act as economic disincentives and result in services becoming more expensive for users.
