TRAI’s move to display callers’ names endangers privacy, imposes costs: IAMAI

New Delhi: The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) on Thursday raised concerns over privacy and implementation in response to the proposal of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) mandating telecom service providers to display callers’ names.

The IAMAI argued that the TRAI’s proposal to make it mandatory for telcos to enable Calling Name Presentation (CNAP) presents a material risk to the privacy of Indian citizens.
