NEW DELHI: Realising that its
earlier regulations relate only
to subscription-based value added
services, the Telecom Authority
of India (TRAI) has directed all
access service providers to ensure
that the value added service (VAS) for products embedded in the SIM
application Tool Kit (STK) of
SIM card is provided to the consumer only after obtaining
the explicit consent of the consumer in accordance with a
procedure specified by the regulator.

The directive has to be implemented by all access service
providers including the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL)
and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL) within sixty days.

The new directive has been issued under section 13, read with sub-clauses (i) and (v) of clause (b) of sub-section ( 1) of section 11 of the TRAI Act 1997 and clause 11 of the
Telecom Tariff Order 1999 to ensure compliance of terms and conditions of license and to protect the interest of
consumers.

embedded in the SIM card:
