Question

TRAI has recently recommended 'essential services' status which entity?
  • Unmanned Air Vehicles
  • Submarine cables
  • OTT platforms
  • Broadband Cables
Answer- B
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) recommended adding a section in the Indian Telecommunication Bill, 2022, to promote, protect and prioritise submarine cables and cable landing stations (CLS) since they are critical assets. It also suggested that the operation and maintenance of CLS and submarine cables should be accorded ‘essential services’ status. Hence, option 'B' is correct.
