Earlier this week, the Indian Government presented new legislation to substitute three existing laws governing the telecom industry within the country. Despite the absence of explicit mentions in the bill, numerous companies expressed apprehension that the government might attempt to regulate internet applications through the Telecom Bill 2023. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has now confirmed that OTT services won't be included in the new bill. Instead, they'll continue to be regulated under the Information Technology Act of 2000.
