DoT migrates digital intelligence platform to AWS from BSNL, C-DoT servers, triggers telcos’ reaction

New Delhi: A move by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to migrate its digital intelligence platform (DIP) to the servers of Amazon Web Services (AWS) from those run by state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) and the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DoT) triggered a fierce initial reaction from mobile phone companies. They seem to have backed down after the DoT told them that critical subscriber database records (SDRs) of customers won’t be stored on AWS.
