Google chief executive Sundar Pichai says that India is going through an important period of time as it drafts several key regulations and asserted that it stands to benefit from open and connected internet.
India is in the process of shaping and shipping several other key regulatory frameworks that seek to bring a series of major changes to how telecom services, on-demand video players and firms in other sectors operate and handle consumers’ data.
India’s IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw says the government is working on a range of bills that reflect the country’s realities.
He says they are creating three horizontals: First we have the telecom bill that is for the carriers. Second is the digital protection bill, which is focused around enforcing citizens’ privacy rights. And this is, the Digital India bill that will look at practically everything else that is required to be seen.
