I don’t think this is good news for content companies. India’s telecom regulator, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, is now rooting for regulating content that goes through mobile, broadband and other converged platforms. TRAI chairman Nripendra Misra is even calling for a separate regulator for content or creating a new licence category for content providers, according to a report in The Economic Times. According to him, the regulation of content remains an area of concern with the advent of convergence of communications and entertainment services, fixed and mobile telephony, broadband internet access and television.
