1+ hour, 11+ min ago (223+ words) Communication through messaging platforms for around 35 million users in 2026 will undergo a change following the Central government's recent directive on constant linking of SIMs with devices offering messaging app services. On the other hand, Prattay Lodh, Delhi High Court advocate, Data Protection, IP and Telecom, said the new order addresses gaps in the Telecom Cyber Security Rules that gave room to bad actors to exploit the disconnect between SIM identity and app accounts. At the same time, it can also create a persistent identity layer for all citizens "For people with dual SIMs, platforms like telegram and WhatsApp allowed syncing contacts/messages from one SIM. For long-time NRIs, once their SIMs gets deregistered, Whatsapp may now ask them first to register it," said Lodh, adding that the SIM-binding mandate is not the least intrusive means to ensure cybersecurity.

2+ hour, 3+ min ago (177+ words) The news that the Ukrainian operator KyivStar has launched a partial launch of the Starlink Direct to Cell (DTC) service attracted almost no attention, although the significance of this event cannot be overestimated. At the same time, given that the Starlink terminals are also actively used by Russian troops, it can be assumed that the next stage will be testing the DTC mode specifically for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the subsequent possible shutdown of the "gray" terminals both locally and over long distances. SpaceX's Direct to Cell technology was demonstrated back in 2024, when it was possible to provide video communication with a bandwidth of about 17 Mbit/s through a regular Samsung smartphone using the 4G/LTE range from the American operator T-Mobile. This speed was already sufficient at that time to transmit coordinates and operational data even in the…...

7+ hour, 13+ min ago (212+ words) The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is reportedly planning to slash backhaul spectrum pricing by up to 50%, according to a report. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is reportedly planning to slash backhaul spectrum pricing by up to 50%, according to sources cited by ET. The move is expected to significantly ease the financial burden on telecom operators, potentially saving them hundreds of crores annually. Under the current system, charges rise with the number of carriers a telco operates, calculated as a percentage of AGR using a weighted average formula. "TRAI's recommendations are expected in the coming days," an official told ET, requesting anonymity. "The DoT will take a final call after reviewing the proposals," the official added. During consultations, telecom operators requested a flat, lower rate for backhaul spectrum. They argued that the original pricing was set when…...

12+ hour, 56+ min ago (571+ words) The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has directed popular over-the-top (OTT) messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Snapchat, Signal and others to implement mandatory SIM binding for user accounts, a move aimed at curbing the surge in online fraud and digital arrests, the Economic Times (ET) reported. Under the directive issued on November 28, OTT platforms have been given a 90-day deadline to ensure that their apps remain linked to the active SIM number present in the user's device. Failure to comply could invite penal action under existing telecom cybersecurity regulations, according to ET. The new rules also mandate that web and desktop versions of these apps must log users out every six hours, requiring fresh authentication through QR code pairing. The DoT said this step is necessary to prevent misuse of messaging platforms on devices where no SIM is present " a…...
