Reliance Jio has expressed concerns regarding the government’s Telecom Cybersecurity rules, arguing that the inclusion of telecommunication service misuse exceeds the legislative scope defined by the Telecommunication Act, 2023. Jio highlighted that accountability for misuse at the application layer should not fall on telecom service providers, prompting the government to exempt Security Operations Centres (SOCs) from monitoring such activities. The government has introduced Telecom Identifier User Entities (TIUEs) to alleviate some responsibilities from telcos. Furthermore, industry stakeholders like Airtel and Vodafone Idea have raised objections regarding spam regulations and the duration for maintaining security logs, underscoring the need for clarity in the rules to avoid overburdening telecom operators and ensuring efficient resource management amidst growing connectivity demands.
