Cable Landing Stations

In a move to ease the rules for setting up submarine (undersea) cable landing stations (CLS) in India, Trai has released its recommendations on the licensing framework and regulatory mechanism for the sector. It has suggested amendment to ILD/ISP Category ‘A’ authorization (with international Internet gateway) license to include two categories of Cable Landing Station (CLS) locations – (a) Main CLS and (b) CLS Point of Presence (CLS-PoPs).
