The COAI believes that the telecom service authorisation regime should continue to have a contractual nature. The industry body emphasizes the importance of maintaining this aspect in order to ensure a smooth and efficient process for authorising telecom services. By retaining the contractual nature of the regime, it allows for clear terms and conditions to be set between service providers and regulatory authorities. This helps in ensuring a transparent and accountable system for all parties involved. The COAI’s stance on this matter is aimed at promoting a fair and competitive telecom sector that benefits both consumers and service providers alike.
